Mack, in their musical gayety, "A
Night on Broadway" with its ping
pong girls, college boys, Partisan
dancers, golf girls, newsboys and
bathing girls, is announced as the next
attraction. Friday matinee and night.
The classification of this piece has
caused the newspaper critics through
out the country much thought and
worry, inasmuch as it borders on light
opera, tingles with farce comedy, is
extremely spectacular and cleverly adj
mits of many novel specialties. In Of
fering the production the management
evidently intended to maintain the
standard of former performances, and
from all accounts they have succeed
ed in their endeavors.
"a Night on Broadway" is an elastic
title which does not confihe the mem
bers of the company to any particu-
lar walk in the dramatic highway, but
allows them to wander off and change
costumes, sing and dance, form stage
pictures, illustrate fads of the day
and assume DISCUSSES, all of these di-
gressions exercising no perceptib1e in
fluence upon the progress of the play
In brief, "a Night on Broadway" has
no serious intent either in dialogue
or music. The piece was constructed
to amuse for an eevning. Murray
and Mack are, of couse, the principal

the present season was that given in
honor of the formal opening of VAL

nesday night. The function was at
! tended by one hundred prominent peo-
pie, the feature of the evening for the
young people being dancing in the
large parlor. The older people en-
Joyed conversation and social inter-
course and promenades through the
large halls and verandas. The party
was shown over the new structure
and all of the guests were delighted
with the arrangements. At IL o'clock
supper was served, the menu being
very fine. There were five courses
in the supper, the guests remaining at
the tables until IL O'Clock. A little
after that hour, Congratulations were
extended to the enterprising manager
Of the hotel, and the guests departed
for their homes. The occasion was a
brilliant one in every respect. A de-
lightful entertainment was given by
Misses Edith and Susie Converse to
their friends last night. A large num-
Der were in attendance and the oc-
casion was delightful one throughout
the evening. The Wymodausis Club
held it's meeting this afternoon to lay
plans for the next year. The club is
just merging from summer quarters,
but it starts it's new year under bright
CIR prospects than ever before The
Seminole Club will also reorganize next
week, and make plans for the fall and
winter season. An unusually large

three rooms in our house. Two of
them are what you might call sitting

We always lay up enough food in the

have to stir out doors on account of

1T would do you no good. From ev-
cry beaver house there are at least
three runways or tunnels, and at the
first alarm we take to these and make

Indians try to kill the beaver as he

nose up through an air hole to breathe,
but they may try all winter and not

They will always do it when possible.
We have an old beaver here who lost
one of his forelegs that way a couple
of years ago, but he gets about very
