Show Girl
Several days ago Mr.. LaMotte invited
the boys to be present last night as his
guests Tickets were distributed to
them by which they were admitted to
the house.
Ever since the invitation came the
boys have been anticipating the good
time which they were to have. II any
one doubted they really had it a visit
TO the theater was sufficient to convince
them that a happier set never sat
through play.
Early yesterday afternoon the tick.
cts were given out to the boys when
they reported at the Office for their
afternoon papers.
Before the doors were opened last
night the boys had gathered anxiously
waiting their turn TO get inside the
theater. Before the play began they
amused themselves watching the
audience and joking with each other.
When the play did start the boys had
the time of their lives. Audience and
players were not slow to enter into
the spirit OF the youngsters, They APP
piauded everything vigorously and man

spot light to the dome Of the theater.
This was enough for the boys. They
shouted themselves hoarse- When they
got tired Of that they whistled through
their fingers IL great glee.
Miss Mayhem and the other actors
in the speciality became the audience
and thoroughly enjoyed the boys per-
