iHC T1oooC ooi-.
You could have heard a ten pin
drop last night when the curtain rose .
on the amateur coon show, so great
was the expectancy of the packed
house which greeted the event.
But the silence was not long for
when the audience surveyed the
three TERED display of stage beauties
there was a regular uproar from the
last bench in the gallery to the or
chestra.
Of course everybody was BACKED
I'D and the audience began guessing
the identity of the performers.
1t did not take long to locate Miss
Stella Colcord as the middle man
of the show. 1t took somewhat
longer to locate the bones OF the
show who proved to be Misses. Hall,
and Muller and Mrs. Frank Wildes
with Misses. Logan and Cohn and :
Mrs Henry Burlington as the
''Jambos.'
The jokes were cut loose right off
the reel and included some laughable
and good natured hits at the supreme
bench, Sheriff Kinney, Valley Park
and well known characters about
town.
Even William Jennings Bryan and
the editors of the local press were
not spared.
Miss Kate Muller and Miss Logan
both sang delightful solos which were
enthusiastically encored. The trio
by Misses. Beemer and Logan and
Mrs. jackson was as sweet as any
thing ever given by professionals. 1t
was followed by a fine solo by Mrs.
J. Connolly, and Miss Hall gave with
great spirit an automobile song as
sisted by the entire company in the
chorus.
The singing was thoroughly enjoyed
by the audience and attempts were
made to secure encores, but owing
to the length of the program encores
were not allowed. Every singer
richly deserved the enthusiastic re-
ception given by the audience.
Mrs Wildes then took the center
of the stage and delivered red hot
lecture on the subject of bachelors.
She ladaled out the hot shot to all
classes of bachelors and laid 1t
upon the backs of several we'll known
specimens of that class who live in
Carson.
The lecture was thoroughly ap-
proved by the ladies of the audience
and the applause was hearty and
frequent.
Next came Mrs. Mary Wall whose
rich contralto voice showed to decid-
ed advantage in MY Sunbeam Lou
and she won every heart.
Then Miss Logan rendered a de-
lightful Hottentot Love song which
caught the audience as usual
One of the real hits of the evening
was made by Arthur Heidenreich who
sang a decidedly good parody of
Cheer Up Mary
1t was very cleverly written ana
sung with professional effect and in
excellent voice. Every verse was ap-
plauded to the echo, for every word
was understood.
Mrs Black followed in flirting
song which nearly lifted the gallery
off it's feet and Mrs. Jackson closed
the first part with delicious version
of the Swanee River, with full chorus
accompaniment.
The second part of the show start
ed off with THE Marionetts" Mrs.
Black and Miss Logan, followed by
the operate duo of Mr.. Penry. The
Amazon drill, Miss Hall captain, wi n
sixteen young ladies uniformed, fol-
lowed, this was one of the most pleas
ing numbers of the evening
But the plantation specialties, con
sisting of dancing, etc, by Misses
Ethel Davis and Margurite Desmond
captured the entire audience The
double seXtette composed of Misses.
Hazel and Ethel Hofer and Bryant,
and Mesdames Burlington, Black and
Wildes and Messrs. Tranter, Lord,
Howard, Vanderlieth, Penry and r..
Heidenreich, was one of the clever
est bits of the evening The South
ern Bells" Misses. Muller, Hazel Hof-
er, Cohn and Thompson gave little
