King Ping Pong Opens at Grand Opera House
A small but appreciative crowd enjoyed the opening night of King Ping Pong at the Grand Opera House. The comic opera featured a strong cast led by Stanley Felch as Cookie and Florence Glover as Marguerite, with Raymond Stevens as Ferdinand delivering applause-worthy solos. Seating was on wooden chairs due to a upholstery strike, and new seats are expected soon. A parallel note praises Hughes county for a superior agricultural exhibit at the Central South Dakota fair.
