ELKS TOOTH MADE
 BIG HIT
Proceeds of Show Will flo Into Club HOiSe Build
 ing Fund

That the Elks win raise a good portion of the money to build their club building by the two performances of the "Elks Tooth" to be given al the opera house, was evident by the crowd that attended the show last night. The show tonight promises to be attended by even a greater number than last night. as the tickets are selling rapidly.
 These performances are being given by the Elks for the purpose of raising money to assist the lodge in erecting a club building on Main street where the Summers boarding house is now located. A beautiful stone building is to be erected, modernly equipped, well furnished with all the conven- fences known to a club. and an att tractive place to take visiting Elks for entertainment. If the plans now laid are carried out the Elks' club in Bisbee will be the handsomest of its kind anywhere in the West.
 The presentation of the 'EIks' Tooth" at the opera house could easi- ly be called a crowning success. Ev- cry feature of the show was pre- scented with a degree of excellence known only to the dramatic profess sion. and the sensational settings at no time failed to reach the responsive chord of the audience. From the time the curtain went up at the be- ginning of the show until the last curtain dropped. the audience was kept in laughter and good cheer. The favorable comment made by those who saw the show went to prove that everybody felt they had had their moneys worth.
 The crowd tonight promises to be even greater than last night Many who attended the first show are going again tonight Tickets are going rap idly and it is expected that tonight nearly every seat will be engaged.
 The ''Elks' Tooth" is a comic opera which is highly recommended for its excellent music and many points of real worth. The music is not rag time, but compositions far surpassing the comic operas of the present day.

 As one of the big attractions the Sailor sQuartette ranked we'll The songs were clever and comic, senti- mental and classical. The Sailor Quartette came in for its share of ap- plause. It was composed of Henry Warrington, first tenor; Leonard Warrington, second tenor; E. L. Will
 
 bass. The same singers appeared be- fore the audience in the Shade Quar- tette.
 In the Kings Indian Chorus was presented the difference between the ''Elks' Tooth" and the general run of comic operas, in that it contains pretty plot, around which is woven a thrilling tale of love and romance, filled with wit and pleasure and taint- ed with tragedy.
