"TOPSY TURVEY" Editor Chronicle The writer paid a short visit to the thriving village of Wood-row Wood-row Saturday evening March 20th, and witnessed the great comedy success entitled, "Topsy Turvey." The participants in in the play display such talent as is commendable beyond criticism. I am informed that the attendance attend-ance was the largest that has ever assembled at one time in Woodrow. Considering the crowded throng, suffice us to say, the audience was held "spell bound" during the entire play except when they could resist no longer and burst into volumes of laughter and approval. Come again Woodrow with another one, or say, I can appreciate "Topsy Turvy" again. Why can't we induce our neighbors to stage this comedy in Delta. An appreciative ap-preciative visitor. We understand that the Wood-row Wood-row actors are generous enough to want Delta to witness their excellent production and will stage it here in the near future which will probably be Saturday, April 3rd.
