A., will be presented in the 1 high school auditorium Thursday, Fridav and Saturday of this wek. The story of the production, written writ-ten by Mrs. Eva M. Crandall, relates re-lates the life history of John Hafen, noted Springville artist, around whose work the present art movement centers. While no striking tragedy or extreme comedy features the drama, it clearly portrays the struggle endured by Mr. Hafen in carrying on his art work, and will give everyone who sees the production an insight into the character of the man who has been called "the father of the Springville art movement." Typical costumes, ' appropriate scenery and. stage settings have been worked out through a long period of rehearsing under the direction of Howaixl McKenzie, who will also take the leading part of "John Hafen." Mr. Mckenzie's Mc-kenzie's interpretation of character charac-ter will be seen to advantage in the drama which will also feature fea-ture other fine talent both in dramatic and musical parts. The first performance will be . given in the form of a matinee for children under Mutual age, Thursday afternoon, at the high school auditorium. It will be pre- , sented on Friday and Saturday nights for the general public. On Saturday afternoon it is planned to give a special matinee for a number of church officials, including in-cluding President Heber J.
