The same evening. Around Lightnin’ and his Calivada Hotel, Winchell Smith and Frank Bacon have woven a story full of real human, heart interest. As we follow the many adventures and misadventures of Lightnin’; his contacts with the various types of our American people; try with him to solve the problems confronting many; we find ourselves moved to laughter and tears. Our interest moves on through the theft of the timberland; tne scenes in the court room; the rivalry of the judge and lawyer over the hand of the fascinating Mrs. Davis; on to the final action where, back in the hotel which is again his own, Lightnin’, in his characteristic way assumes the responsibility of bringing together Mildred and John.

11 ® PTL Tecumseh. Toirt WawK IZbl Q) )t Qropbecp “The Magic Loom” A Plan in One Act CAST OF CHARACTERS Osao-------------------------------------------------------An Old Sorcerer. Zetcamma ’ce —.------------------------------------- His Son and Messenger Members of the Class of ’26 of Tecumseh High School. SCENE I. (The scene is laid in Southwestern Arizona, in the country inhabited by the Apaches, in a small rude hogan made of Pueblo adobe. Just outside the hogan are all the Trails of the World. Inside the hogan there is in the center of the room, a pot hanging from a tripod over a fire, which is blazing brightly. In one corner, there is a pile of costly furs, stretched out to make a rude bed. In the other corner stands a huge loom, which completely fills the end of the room. At this loom sits an old Indian, with wrinkled face and long, coarse, black hair and bright, beady, black eyes. His eyes move restlessly as he weaves different colored threads into the great rug upon which he is working. As the curtain rises, the old Indian is mumbling to himself and suddenly calls. A young man enters.) Osao—Zetcamma ’ce, is there any one near? Zetcamma ‘ce—No, father, no one is here now. Osao—-Then, my son, my rug shows a group of young people who are just now setting forth on their first years of unguided work. These people wonder what is to happen to them after each has gone his way, but they know not whereby they may find out. Go to them, my son, tell them that here, where all the Trails of the World meet, they may hear their future. Go to the High School at Tecumseh, Nebraska, my son, and bring me the Senior Class. Zetcamma ’ce—Yes, father, I will bring them that they may know what lies before them. (Zetcamma ’ce departs on his mission.) Curtain SCENE II. (Two months later) Enter Zetcamma ’ce followed by the Senior Class. Charles D.—We have come. Oh great Osao, because we wish to know what the future holds for us. Osao—I sent for you, my children, because I thought you wished to know what was in store for you. Here is the Rug of Life. Be seated, all of you, and its mystic threads will unfold what life holds for you. (Osao reads—Class seated in semicircle. Charles Davison who is the Senior President, I see will become a famous professor of Mathematics in Columbia University. I see—I see Leroy Betzelberger as the chief commissioner of roads in his own home county. It may be well to add that there is one road which is kept in excellent condition. Then comes Ellene McClanahan who, I think, will teach school but will soon tire of that and start keeping house on a farm. Herbert Casey is very funny, as every one knows. But when he takes Harold Lloyd’s place as a comedian, his humor will be even more pronounced. For Margaret Costello, I see the future of a very noted elocutionist with prolonged study in Paris. Katherine Buerstetta, the threads say, will paint some very famous pictures and will be an illustrator for a late fashion magazine. May Carman, I see, becomes proficient as a typist and will be a private secretary ‘o Katherine. Here are three boys whose future is the same. These are Wilbert Katz, Melvin Phillips and Olna Current. They will together own a large ranch in Wyoming on which they will make many improvements. f24]
