Class B Regional Consolation Champs!

The Schulter Bulldogs are on their way to the area tournament. They play Thursday, February 26, at 6:30 p.m. at Muskogee Civic Center against Oilton.

The boys have been putting on quite a show lately with these very exciting wins in the regional tournament this past week, two of which were won with last second shots. The team has been totally amazing with their teams work efforts and ability to keep their heads and stay in the game even when they are behind. With each game getting closer to the State playoffs, the excitement is rising. This is Coach Peggie Lekowski’s first year as head coach at Schulter and she has more than proven herself to be what these kids have needed. The kids listen to her and know that this Coach will take them as far as they can go with their desire and ability to play basketball.

Morgan Theatre Tonight The Pride of Palomar

Peter B. Kyne’s great story of a man’s thrilling fight for love and honor in the boundless, romantic West. Directed by the man who made “Humoresque.” Marjorie Daw and Forest Stanley head the all-star cast.

Harrold Lloyd, Bebe Daniels and Snub Pollard in: “FOLLOW THE CROWD” Betty Compson, Bert Lytell and May McAvoy in: “KICK IN” All are Paramount Pictures --- Morgan Today

If you are fond of real drama, wholesome comedy and, incidentally, have an eye to the beauty of the latest creations of the Parisian modesties, then you should see Billie Burke in her new Paramount picture, “The Frisky Mrs. Johnson” which will display at this theatre today. In every respect, it will prove a revelation to you.

Independent of Miss Burke’s great popularity as a star, her newest vehicle is a fascinating picture. The scenes are laid in Paris during the gay carnival season and the story presents Miss Burke in a delightful characterization. Once you have seen “The Frisky Mrs. Johnson,” it is certain you will not soon forget it.

Talk about rich gowns - why, this picture presents a vast variety that will bewilder most women!

Vaudeville - The Norton Co., present their feature play of the week, with new specialties between acts.
