troupe had come in from Anaconda and
had been able to earn the plaudits of
large audience at the Margaret in that
city.
Billy Clark, principal comedian of the
Ministries, was in evidence about the
streets today. He Is esteemed a first
class laugh provoker and Is already the
recipient of many congratulations on
his clever work at Anaconda last night.
He will sing new song to-
night and other bright stars of the

best efforts to please. Hi Henry's min
strels will be the only attraction seen at
