SHOWS AT THE JEWEL
ATTRACT BIG CROWDS.
Last Friday night was a
record breaker almost in at
tendance at the New Jewel
Theatre. The main attraction
was the first episode of Bound
and Gagged, one of the latest
pictures released by the Pathe
Company and which is also
now being exhibited at the
Kempner Theatre, the leading
amusement house in Little
Rock. Everyone was pleased
with the first chapter of this
wonderful story as it was run
on the screen and this togeth
er with the popular comedian,
Harold Lloyd in one of his
humorous plays proved a rare
treat to those present ana
many expressed themselves as
being glad to know a similar
bill will be shown every Fri
day night.
Saturday night's bill drew
another full house for the
Jewel and everyone was thrill
ed and delighted with that
great star, Tom Mix in “Treat
Em Rough." The large num
ber of patrons present were
free to express themselves as
being delighted with the pro
gram and we know the next
Tom Mix bill will mean an
other capacity house.
Only the best pictures are
being purchased for exhibition
at the Jewel and we are glad
to see and know that the
show-going public appreciate
the efforts of the manager in
giving them this service by
attending these popular at
tractions.

Come Let’s Have Some Fun.
We have a special program
prepared for next Sunday’s
Community Singing. It is full
of fun too. We have not had
much fun so far, but are now
organized so that it is time for
the fun to commence. This is
for the young people and all
those who are not so bowed
down with age that they have
entirely forgotten when they
were young.
Last Sunday we had the
largest crowd we have ever
had and all sang and enjoyed
it. Next Sunday we will give
out the songs for Xmas and se
lect those who are to be in the
Xmas exercises. Be sure to
be at the High School building
! at 3 o’clock.

M. H. S. NOTES.
The new song books have
been received, and singing has
had a decided impetus
throughout the school.
Mrs. Margaret Williamson,
our county home agent, gave a
demonstration to the members
of her clubs at the high school
last Friday.
The basket ball teams are
very disappointed because
weather conditions have pre
vented the games scheduled
with Wynne from taking place
thus far. However, they are
still hoping to be able to play!
these games off before the
holidays.
The Dramatic Club will
| present its second short play
next Friday afternoon at 2:30
j o’clock. If the weather con
ditions permit it may be de
cided to give the play again
in the evening, thereby en
abling the school to raise a
small fund to pay for a new
set of encyclopedia, which was
ordered recently.
It has been announced by
Supt. Willis that every effort
will be made to obtain a music
teacher by the end of the holi
days or the beginning of, the
octunu scmcsici m odiiuaLy.
He stated that after some
weeks of correspondence an
, available teacher had not been
I located. He also explained
| that the professional require
| ments for music teachers in
Arkansas had steadily risen,
and that the patrons of our
school had intimated that they
would be satisfied only with
the best. “Music in Ark
i ansas,” he said, “is gradually
coming into its own, and the
McCrory High School must
soon standardize its music de
partment, teacher and all, or
lose its hopes of becoming an
i accredited school.”
