Al’NT ABBY ANSWERS
AN AD.
A good, hearty laugh is like a
Ionic. It rejuvenates. If you
doubt it, just pay a visit to the
Nome High School Auditorium
on Saturday night. May 15th,
when the Associated Student
Body will present the new farce
comedy, "Aunt Abby Answers an
Ad.” When you laugh, you’ll
find that a packed house is par
taking of the laugh tonic with
you, rocking with mirth, for
“Aunt Abby” is one of the funn
iest plays ever written. A well
known authority on plays made
|
the statement that this play con- i
tained more laughs in any one of
its three acts than is usually
found in an entire play. We’ll
give you just a Hint why this play
is so unusually funny. “Aunt
Abby” Ainsley, a confirmed old
maid and man-hater, is coerced
into answering an advertisement
in the “Lonely Hearts” column
of a magazine. The ad has been
put in by a lonely old widower
who wants a wife and Aunt Abby
feels that site will meet all the
requirements specified in the ad
vertisement. But Aunt Abby's
niece and the niece's girl-chum
discover Aunt Abby’s letter and
make plans of their own. These
plans set the ball of fun rolling
and it never stops until the final
curtain. By this time the audi
ence is exhausted from laughing.
General admission is 50 cents,
reserved seats 75 cents, and you'll
find that it's the best laugh invest
ment you've made in this or any
other year. It’s the kind of play
that will make you turn to your
neighbor when the final curtain
falls and exclaim. “Oh, I wish it
w'ere just beginning. I’d like to
see it all over again.”
Be syyfe to set aside this date,
May 15. Just any one of the
members of the cast will tell you
that "Aunt Abby ANSWERS An
Ad” is “tops” in entertainment
value.
