 The "Ship Ahoy" entertainment is awakening great interest among the A. O. U. W. of this city and it will be presented by J. M. Hills famous opera company. ''Ship Ahoy" is a thoroughly American production. Everything about the opera is American.

 Ezra F. Kendall and company appear Thursday evening only in 'tPair of Kids" of which NIT. Kendall is the su- thor. The main object of the piece is to create laughter, and this it is abundantly able to do. Of course Mir Kendall is the central figure.

 ''In the absence of his uncle and his aunt, who have gone on a journey. an impecunious scapegrace called Alfred Hastings is put in charge of the apart ments in London It occurs to him that he might turn a dishonest penny by let ting out the rooms entrusted to his care. Attracted by the announcement that they will have all the comforts of home in the apartments, a number of tenants come 10 terms with the youth. Among them are & rakish elderly gentleman named Bender, with his wife and daughter, the fiighfy star of comic opera company, a broken down swell, and seedy musician. The complications which arise when these in copgruous tenants find themselves under the same roof may be better imagined than described. When the confusion is af its height it is interrupted by the return of the owners of the apartments, and after twenty minutes have been spent in clearing up misunderst anding, order is re stored and Alfred wins the hand of his prettiest lodger, Evangeline Bender"
 Attractions for next week include Rhea in her new play Monday and Tuesday and Margaret Msther Wednesday and Thurs day.
