ACTIVE PREPARATION
FOR THE VAUDEVILLE ENTERTAIN
MENr IN PROGRESS.
The Date Is Postponed For Good Red
sons, But the Entertained nj
MIL Be a Great Success.

The We Will Entertainers met last
night and transacted all kinds OF bus
mess.
The executive committee which con-
sists of the officers, +. T.. Morris, pres
ident: p. F. Hunter, secretary, and T.
NJ. Wingo. treasurer, together with
Earle X Mitchell. A. V. Barber, and
J. A. Spellicy, met with the entertain
ment committee of the carnival at D
O'Clock last night when they laid their
plans before the committee and asked
that they receive official recognition
from that body. Chairman Hay of the
entertainment committee appointed
them (the executive committee of the
We Will Entertainers a sub-commit-
tee on his committee to which they are
to report on all matters.
At o'clock President Morris called
the meeting of the Entertainers to
order and they listened to the reading
of the minutes of the preceding meet
ings. Upon motion of julius Krakauer
these minutes were approved. Mr.. Nor
ris stated that the object of the meet
ing was to appoint committees and
to perfect plans for the first enter
tainment Program was the first
thing brought up and there was a dis
cuSsion as TO what was the most adj
visable plan to get out the programs.
Frank Smith moved that the chair
appoint three men as a committee on
programs with full power to a.. Judge
Harper seconded the motion .vii.ch was
carried. 1t was suggested 10 the COM
mittee that Frank Webb had offered to
print the programs for the mere cost
of the material and that he had So
licitor who would get the advertise
ments and do the work on small
commission. Whereby the club could
make something from the programs.
1t was also suggested that the regu-
lar opera house programs be used
which would cost the club nothing and
although they could make nothing by
them they would have no work 10 at
tend to. The committee have not met
as yet and it is not known what will
be their plan of action. The commit
tee consists of Frank Smith. Judge
Harper and Chas. Shutz.
The subject of how to advertise the
entertainment was next taken up. Ju-
Illus krakauer thought the advertise
mentS should be confined altogether to
the newspapers. 1t was suggested
that the papers would give notice of
the entertainment free as they have
been very free with the carnival. But
Mr.. KTakauer said that that was not
what he meant. He said that space in
the I'll Paso papers was money to the
papers and he thought that they
should be paid for the advertisements
for the entertainment. That was the
general opinion of all the members
and it was suggested that the chair
appoint a committee to look after the
matter. He asked the program COM
mittee if they would attend to that adj
ditional work and was answered in
the affirmative when he placed that
work on their shoulders.
A finance committee was appointed
consisting of +. NJ. Wingo and ]. w.
Brown and they were to look after
all money taken in by the club. All
bills must be presented to the presi-
dent of the club who will sign them
before they are paid by the treasurer
and the executive committee must be
consulted before any Indebtedness is
contracted.
Upon motion of p. F. Hunter it was
decided that thep rices for the enter
tainment be placed at 25, 35 and 80
cents and it was decided that each i
member of the club should try to sell
several tickets and that the children of
the city would be allowed one ticket
for every ten that they sold. One or
two members of the club who are to
take part in the first entertainment
reported that they could not be ready
for the entertainment by the 25th so
it was decided to hold the first enter
tainment on Thursday November l.
1t was decided last night to offer the
two lower boxes in the opera house to
the highest bidders for the entertain
ment. Mr.. Fillmore. the artistic win
dow dresser at the White House. has
kindly offered to decorate the boxes
and it is believed that the bidding will
be spirited from the start.
