N) is written in red pen. At the bottom, "Greensboro Daily news June 22, 1952" is written in pencil The clipping is around the article, "First Night Jitters Face Boone Section As Opening of New Historical Drama Approaches" by Burke Davis. The article is a long description of the Horn in the West's development, financing, and casting. Davis mentions many people involved in every stage of the play's development, from the financing to the choreography. He claims that the play needs to succeed or Boone will lose too much money to recover. Davis also talks about the widespread assistance with production by mentioning the choreographer from High Point, the director from Chapel Hill, and some actors from Tennessee. There are four images printed with the article. One is of Harry Coble performing a dance move during his rehearsal of the play. One is of Glenn Causey, a Greensboro teacher who was also involved in the dance section of the play. The third is the director discussing techniques with a few of the main actors of the play. The last image is Daniel Boone VI carving "D. Boone" into a tree near the entrance to the Daniel Boone Theater.
