This image depicts a newspaper clipping from the Winston Salem Journal and Sentinel: Women's News, Fashions, Gardens, and Foods. At the top, "Drama-Outdoor. 'Horn in the West' N N" is written in pencil. Below, "Horn in the west (Historical drama). N" is written in red pen. The clipping shows the article "Production Wheels Are Rolling for ' Horn in the West' Drama" by Elizabeth Trotman. The article describes the fundraising by the showrunners and the various efforts to put the play together. Trotman refers to both the women who made the costumes and work to gain publicity by Miriam Rabb. There is also a focus on the community aspect of the play, especially in the role that the Appalachian State Teachers College played in ensuring space for the production to rehearse and prepare. The five accompanying images are a rehearsal of the Horn in the West overseen by Sam Selden, the women who volunteered to make costumes for the play, a child actor rehearsing his lines for the play with his parents, actresses for the play in the house that they shared for the rehearsal period, and Kai Jergunsen and his wife in that same house. They are both posing with their two-month-old son while work materials lay strewn on their desks.
