Show Th e m e Se lec ted f o r MIA June Gatherings "Love the Youth, Teach the Truth" will be the theme of the 63rd annual June Conference of the Mutual Improvement Association, Associ-ation, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The full schedule of activities scheduled for June 15th through 17th in Salt, Lake City will keep MIA workers, who attend the conference, confer-ence, going at a fast pace. General Superintendent Joseph Jo-seph T. , Bentley and General President Florence S. Jacobsen this week announced that one of the most outstanding programs of the conference will take place Sunday afternoon in the Mormon Tabernacle on Temple Square at 1:30 p.m., June 17th. President Jacobsen said, "No one will want to miss the final session of this conference. It is planned especially espe-cially for all MIA leaders to give them added information concerning the great Church-wide Church-wide missionary effort." The program, entitled "Sharing the Gospel Through MIA," will show the important role the MIA now plays, and can play in the future in realistically bringing the gospel gos-pel to young non-member people, in a program of spiritual activity and fun. In observance of the 100th anniversary an-niversary of the birth of the old Salt Lake Theatre, MIA FESTIVALS FESTI-VALS this year will include, in addition to Road Shows and "An Evening at Social Hall," a new two-act musical drama, written by L. Clair Likes and Albert O. Mitchell, assisted by Moana B. Bennett, rightfully named "Papa and The Playhouse"! As the name indicates, the "Papa" ob- jects to his daughter playing on the stage of the Old Salt Lake Theatre. Music composition has been under the direction of Crawford Gates, famed composer of the music for the popular "Promised Valley" (which, incidentally, inci-dentally, will play at the World's Fair in Seattle). "Papa and The Playhouse" will play Tuesday through Saturday, June 12th through June 16th at Kingsbury Hall on the University of Utah campus. Matinee performances are set for Friday and Saturday at 5 p.m. Tickets are on a reserved re-served basis . . . $1.50 and $2.00, and $1.00 general admission. They may be obtained by sending send-ing check and self-addressed envelope en-velope to "MIA Festivals," 135 South State, Salt Lake City, Utah. , . |
