$3.50 would buy a lot at some or the
other beaches, because the owners were

SEVENTH REGIMENT
MINISTRIES A HIT
EVERY NUMBER ON PROGRAM
WELL RECEIVED
NJ. G. C. Boys Present Successful Ben
eft Performance al Mason Opera
House to Good-Sized Audience
Showing Appreciation

It was a good-sized and good
natured house that greeted the boys
of the Seventh regiment when they
produced their minstrel show at the
Mason last night.
The olio was exactly the same as
every amateur minstrel performance
ever produced, with the exception that
all on the stage wore the picturesque
khaki trousers and blue flannel shlrtS
of the soldier boys.
Only the bones and tambos of which
there were two each, and the end men
appeared in the regulation negro min
strel costumes. The end men We're
Karl Hedenber and w. B. Corday, the
interlocutor Herbert j. simon
Every number on the program was
well received and all were encored.
Besides dialect songs by the end men,
Harry Logan, Will H. Burns and ]. G.
Milligan sang sentimental ballads. All
had sweet parlor voices.
The second part opened with calls
of the day by Abe Mondon, bugler. A
little one-act comedy by w. b. Corday
and company, entitled 'Dr. Sawbones,
convulsed the audience with merrt-
ment. The Occidental quartet-Logan,
Burns, Blake and Milligan, was easily
the hit of the entire performance ana
was compelled to respond to many en-
cores and curtain calls.
"The Littlest Girl" by Richard Hard
ing Davis, was well acted by Booth,
Smith and company, the 1ittlest girl
being a sweet little 3-year- old, who
took her part very well until Carruth-
ers did the necessary me child stunt
and wept stage tears into her yellow
curls, when she rebelled little and
shed some real ones.
Sergeant Mytton and his company of
we'll drilled men from the different
companies of the Seventh regiment
executed maneuvers picruring "A Day
at the Front" after which the COM
pany rallied around the flag.
The performance was given as a
benefit for the Armory Athletic asso-
