THE SHOW THURS.
DAY NIGHT
One Of the Most Pleasing Enter
tainments Which Have Been
Presented this Season.

One Of the most pleasing enter
tainments which have been offered
this season was presented at War
ren's hal! Thursday evening. A
fairly good crowd witnessed the
performance and they showed their
appreciation by recalling many
numbers Of the program.
The show opened with a fancy
dance, the Spanish Cachucha, by
Mrs. Warren, who was recalled.
The dance was very gracefully
performed. Mrs. Warren was at
tired in a handsome costume
which was made for her especial
use in this dance.
The sketch by Mr.. and Mrs.
McCarty, the Daughter of Bac-
chus, was the best thing ever wit
messed on a Tucumcari stage with
out question. McCarty played
the part of Larry a member OF the
Benedicts to perfection, and his
acting was greeted with laughter
through the entire house.
The Tramp's Opportunity, by
Z. l.. Warren and Mrs. Mona
Warren was we'll played and en-
joyed. 1t was n long laugh and
both parts were personated to per-
lection.
Herbert Warren and Pauline
McCarty gave a fancy dance which
was very pretty and graceful and
appreciated heartily.
Miss Nell Preston was a favor
lite, rendering the beautiful song,
Love-" and prolonged clapping
Of hands forced her return. Miss
Preston has a sweet voice full of
music and melody, and is always
a tavorite.
The butterfly dance by Rose
Lambert was magnificent. Every
movement was one of grace, and
the beauty of the child as she ap-
peared in fancy costume lent an
added charm to the music and
grace OF the dance.
Little Lena Pierce sang San
Antonio" She has the best child
voice in Tucumcari, and her song
was without doubt as we'll enjoyed
as any number Of the program.
She is a beautiful child and clad
in fancy costume gave a song OF
beauty, grace and melody. Her
tones were perfect and her modest
pose before the audience was
magnificent.
The show closed with the laugh
able farce, my Wife's Out" 1t
was great. Each part was well
played.
Taken altogether it was as en-
ioyable as any entertainment OF
the winter. The price of admis-
sion was reasonable. The show
was repeated Friday night.
