Will L. Adam a director, assisted by an able cast, is working at present on a theatrical production that promises to eclipse anything hereto fore attempted in that line. The production is neither a play nor a pageant, but rather a happy combination of the two It has a story running through it connerting and correlating events; 'neethrr with enough pageantry to illustrate the habits and costums as well as the way of life in early Utah In reality the play depicts the life of p';lura Young, that is the part of his life that was spent in Utah Openning with his arrival in Salt City end closing with his last days. The play has been especially written for this purpose by a friend of Utah Who is an admirer ofand a student of the history of the Pioneers who founded this great state. This play will be shown at the five mile Camp where a new and enlarerd amphitheatre is being huit for it. A new concrete stage 25X35 feet is being laid and seating capacity is being greatly enlarged. So as to take care of all who come to witness this unusual production. Also some road improvement within the camp is contemplated. This being a part of the Centennial Celebration of Iron Co. it will he shown at that time unless it is feared the weather may be to cold for an outdoor performance in which event it may be best to put it on somewhat earlier.
