DeSoto Players Score Hit in Charming Comedy Net Nice Sum for Students' Health Fund Despite Adverse Weather DeSoto Players scored another hit Bank Employees Finish Course in Commercial Law "School days" for bank employees in Columbus and David City are ever, at least temporarily, with the completion last night of final examinations given students of the 28-lesson course in commercial law sponsored by the American Institute of Banking. The course, with Attorney Marvin Sch mid as instructor, was started last October, and classes were held once a week. In the course, students were given an insight into the details of contracts, agencies, partnerships, corporations, personal and real property, estates and trusts and bills and notes.

Vice President Howard Burdick of the Central National bank, one of the sponsors of the first course, said today that students will take a "summer holiday," but will resume class work early next fall with ne gotiable instruments," another AIB course, and that they will probably follow with "bank organization and operation." George as his son and whose promise of a place in pictures for Connie and a place in the art department for Mr. Ott's "whittlings" brings the play to a happy ending for the Ott family if not for the Garricks, apparently destined by fate to continue their roving life on the road. Before the curtain and between acts the Kramer high school band, under direction of Forrest Corn, played several excellent instrumental selections. In a brief talk before the last act. Superintendent McGee voiced appreciation of the cooperation, of the DeSoto Players, the audience, and all others who had assisted in any way in behalf of the health fund.

Assisting off-stage were two members of the DeSoto Players' club, Mrs. P. H. McGowan and Ray Boettcher, as script-readers, and two high school students, Carroll Jones and Walter Kopetsky, handling the lighting effects. The Daily Telegram donated the tickets for the advance sale, and the programs.

For four members of the cast. Miss Gumm, Mr. Putnam, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Slade, it was their first stage appearance with the DeSoto Players.

They are to become permanent members of the club at its next meeting. Gen. Stark Day Designated CONCORD, N. H. LP The New Hampshire house of representatives has passed a measure providing for observance of June 17th as "Gen.

MUST WED IN YEAR TO INHERIT $70,000 ELGIN, 111., Mar. 29 IP Miss Adele Gay, 32, today had one year to make up her mind whether she will marry and get from 535.000 to $70,000 under her father's will, or whether she will remain single and get $5.

Seven years ago Miss -Gay, born Goldman, renounced the Jewish faith ar.d joined the Congregational church. Shortly after, she changed her name. The will of her father, Harris Goldman, 90, who died Sunday, was offered for probate at Geneva yesterday. Terms of the will stipulated that Miss Gay would receive one-seventh of the estate varaed at from $300,000 to $500,000 if, within a year, she marries a man of the Jewish faith. Otherwise $5.

"I don't know what I'm going to do." Miss Gay said. "I have no in tention at present of marrying any one. Seven Goldman sons, another daughter, and three grandchildren also are named to share in the will. BARE Too bad Earl Durand, who battled police in the Wyoming mountains, had to be a desperado.

Read The Telegram Want-Ads! mil i 1 last night when they staged James Reach's charming comedy, "The Actors Have Come," at Kramer high school auditorium as a benefit for the city-wide students health fund, commonly known as the "milk" fund. Despite the fact that, with adverse weather conditions prevailing, attendance was much smaller than the quality of the entertainment merited, members of this talented, public spirited group today have the satisfaction of knowing that through their splendid efforts the milk fund will be increased by approximately S60 after incidental expenses have been paid. That knowledge and the enthusiastic commendation of all who saw the play constituted the only remuneration for the members of the cast, as they had volunteered their services and received nary a cent of monetary stipend for the time and talent they devoted to it. With George Justus, Midland dramatics graduate, serving as director and also carrying one of the leading roles, the 10 members of the cast all turned in such thoroughly workmanlike performances that spectators were entirely unconscious of the fact that they were watching amateur thespians as they followed with keen interest the experiences of the Ott family and the little band of Shakespearean actors as chance brought the two groups of "honest- to-goodness humans" together in a fateful meeting.

Entirely adequate for the roles which they handled as though they were, indeed, the characters them selves, were: Mrs. Martin Tschauner, as Josie Ott, the practical, if somewhat high-strung, wife who managed a modest tourist home; Roy Lowe, as Wilfred Ott, her impractical, philosophical husband whose flare for the artistic evidenced itself in his devotion to whittling; Lorraine Swolek, as Connie, their winsome daughter, who cherishes a secret ambition to become an actress and avidly learns her "Juliet" from the book of Shakespeare given her by her indulgent father; George Justus, as Gordon Garrick, the lovable old fraud of a Shakespearean actor who preserves his illusions of grandeur in the face of such discouraging realities as having to obtain lodging "on credit" for his little troupe at the Ott tourist home; Mrs. Ray Boettcher, as Maude Winslow, Garrick's loyal little actress-wife whose motherly instinct tells her that Connie is the daughter that cruel circumstances had forced them to abandon years agi a secret which they, for Connie's sake, do not divulge; Doris Jaeggi, as Adoree Arlaine, the temperamental ingenue of the troupe, whose act in quitting it for another job gives Connie her big chance to play "Juliet" just once in the old opera house; Donald Nelson, as George Smith, the young actor who becomes Connie's heart-interest and who, Eter they plight their troth, is revealed as the son of a wealthy Hollywood producer; Charles Putnam, as Bassett Grump. the matter-of-fact young business man, "best catch in town," who fails to hold Connie's affections; Marjorie Gumm, as Minnie Meyers, Connie's friend, who is quite the suitable fiancee for the very practical Charles, and, I Robert Slade, as Mr. Shanley, the Hollywood magnate, who "unmasks" Once a year for the past five years, the German class at Kramtr High school has held a banquet to "officially" wind up its social season.

At 6:30 p. m. today at the Baptist church, 65 members of the German class will turn out for the annual event. Sponsor of the club is Miss Charlotte Crue, German instructor at the school. With President Bob Loshbaugh in the role of toastmaster, the program will consist of various numbers offered by students of the school.

Toasts will be given by Carol Ma-rohn, Ellene Politis, Bill Brock and Don Geiger. Vocal selections will be fcy the CHS male quartet, composed of Kenneth Heitzemann, Robert McG Fred Droullard. and Ray Neutzman. and by the CHS girls' chorus including Betty Schwantje, Mildred Lose-ke, Vernetta Lueke, Ellene Politis.

Candidates in Finish Stretch Of Campaigning Polls to Be Open 12 Hours on Election Day Tuesday Final stages of preparation for the municipal election were in progress today, as candidates for councilmanic and city-wide offices were completing their campaigns.

Activity is perhaps more noticeable this year than in previous muny elections for the reason that this spring's election will be the first in many years when paid automobile workers will be passe on election day.

Indications are that both party organizations will have a checker at each of the precinct polls, to which they are entitled by law.
