A first part, entitled "McNulty and the
Model, and burlesque patriotically
christened Columbia Forever will begin
and end the entertainment to be given by
The Gay Masqueraders' next week at
Kernan's. Both pieces are TO be well
mounted. both are performed by clever
men and pretty girls and both are sup
posed to contain the suggestion of untold
humor. Between the TWO comes an olio in
which are presented Broan and Camille,
Bud Snyder. the Clark Sisters, the Muir
phys, the Big Four" McCale and Daniels.
Marie de Bassett and the Rinsimers. A
great deal is claimed for the show, which
will probably prove interesting.

Manager Grieves is overcoming almost
insurmountable obstacles in preparing a
bill for next week at the Bijou Snow
bound trains and broken telegraph wires
have made ii almost impossible for him
to communicate with the big New York
agencies from which he has been securing
people. Despite these difficulties, howev-
er, number of clever entertainers have
already been engaged and theatregoers are
assured that the performance being pro-
vided will not fall behind those which
have preceded it. Mr.. and Mrs. Dunston,
pair of legitimate players, and the Great
Lafayette. impersonator, are ANNOUNCED
as headliners.

week their commissions will be issued to them
The Board after further consideration OF the
deficiencies in the records OF Rear-Admirals
Remey, Watson and Schey covering the period
during the war when Admiral Sampson was
their commanding officer, determined as was
nermissible under the regulations. TO waive that
point. taking the view that according 10 the reg
ulations Admiral Sampson must have reported
them to the Department had there been any
thing in their conduct sufficient TO affect thelr
subsequent promotion. Another computation
which arose out of Rear Admiral Simpsons
failure to report on these officers while they
were his subordinates and which rendered rect-
fication practically impossible, lies IN the fact
thar SAMPSON is now Junior 10 each of three Off
GERS and report from him under the present
date would be violation of the regulations.
There was nothing, therefore. FOR the BOARD TO
do but to investigate the professional quallhca-
tions Of Remey, Watson and Schley on their ex-
listing records. and on these the report was
