Ending tonight is the double bill “Wallaby Jim of the Islands,” and “Paid to Dance.” - VESPER SERVICES | SUNDAY NORTHERN LIGHT CHURCH services will be held to- 5 o'clock at Vesper morrow afternoon at the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, with Ernst Oberg as organist and director of the choir, composed of high school students.
