sEMI-ANNUAL INSPECTION.
Company L is Reviewed by Col. B. F,
Daily of the Governors staff,

The semi-annua1 inspection of Com
pany L, of the w. n. G., occurred last
Saturday evening at the armory of the
company in the Masonic building.
The inspection was conducted by
Col. B. H. Daily, of Milwaukee, who.
was formerly one of the commanding
officers of the Milwaukee battery.
After the war Col. Daily assisted in
the reorganization of the National
Guard in Wisconsin, and was made d
member of the, Governors staff.
The inspection on Saturday evening
was the most successful one ever he1G
in the local armory, and the company
made a splendid showing. Sixty
eight per cent. of the members of the
company were present, and the in
speCting officer con1p1imented them on
the appearance of the company. Dur
ing the inspection the Colonel insisted
on very rigid drill, and gave the diff
ferent squads of the company into the
hands of the non-commissionedo officers
to test their ability. In this manner il
was discovered that the non-commfs-
stoned officers were far from qualified,
and for this reason the lower officers
came in for a great deal of criticism
at the hands of the inspector.
In the afternoon the inspector stole.
a march on the boys and visited the
armory for the purpose of inspecting
the arms of the members of the. COM
pany. This was not down on the pro-
gram, and as the boys had arranged to,
clean the guns III the evening" the.
inspector found some of them in pretty
bad condition. In speaking of the;
company in comparison with ether
companies in the state, Mr.. Daily
stated that the Kenosha company was
one of the best.

VAUDEVILLE THEATER.
No wonder the Continuous Performance
Theater Is Profitable

Some times the vaudeville theater is
an individual and independent enter
prise; more often it be1ons to circuit.
The patronage, expenses and receipts
are enormous. One circuit will speak
for all. It has a theater in New York,
one in Philadelphia, one in Boston,
and one in Providence, and they give
no Sunday performances; and yet these
four theaters entertain over 100000
people every year, give employment to
$50 attaches and to $500 actors. Four
thousand people pass in and out of
each one of these theaters daily. Ten
thousand dollars are distributed each
week in salaries to the actors and
Sc, 500 to the attches. Take one theater
for example, the house in Boston. It
is open the year round and it costs
ST. 900 week to keep it open, while its
patrons will average $4,000 every week.
On holiday it will play to from ten to
twelve thousand people.-From '"The
Vaudeville Theater, . by Edwin Milton
Roy1e, in the October Scribner's.
