Since the Worth County School Play is in the news, we can look back at other school plays. The Redding Junior Class put on its own school play on February 13th, 1925 at Smith’s Hall entitled, “A Tip by Radio.” It was a play in three acts by Carl Webster Pierce.
It was advertised in the February 5th, 1925 Redding Herald as follows: “This is a high class play with an unusually interesting plot. Nothing cheap about it, but plenty of good wholesome fun. One of the really great events of the school year is the JUNIOR CLASS PLAY. This play is being prepared with the belief that Redding community appreciates home talent. The hour is 8 pm. Come and enjoy a high class program. Plenty of good music will be furnished.”
Cost for tickets was 35 cents and 20 cents.
In addition, Redding had its own theater. The opening show for February 10th, 1925 was Zane Grey’s comedy drama of The Golden West entitled, “The Lone Star Ranger.” Cost for adults was 25 cents and 10 cents for children under 13.
