A newspaper item headed 'Walter Lanyon Writes Play' reports that the Webb City post of the American Legion is considering putting on a home talent play on April 21-22. The play was written by Walter Lanyon of Carthage, described as a returned service man, and 'deals with life over there' — that is, with the war. A special meeting of the Webb City post was to be held that night to take up the matter and reach a final decision. The item records a proposal under consideration, not a performance: at the time of writing the post had not yet decided, and this clipping does not establish that the play was ever staged. The play is not named here. It may or may not be the musical comedy 'Oh, Milly, Wait a Minute', which Lanyon wrote and directed in the same region around 1921 (see hist_events 20160, 20148, 20181); against that identification, the Monett notice describes Oh Milly's plot as an orphan girl sent home from Paris rather than a war subject. No identification is asserted here.
