Charity Benefit House Produces Captain Racket Play
A community benefit show for charity drew a fair crowd in the city with Captain Racket the main attraction. The cast received praise for skill and stage presence led by Will Chilcote and others with standout moments from Marie Chilcote and Evylin Ruth Pratt. The program included a noted performance by the Emanon Quartette and a brief advertising interlude for brooch pins at H F Steck. Attendance smaller than hoped, but proceeds aid a helpful Christmas effort.
