PERFORMANCE
the Armory Last Saturday
EVENING

THE Love Chase" the university
class play which was presented at the
Armory in this city last Saturday even
ing delighted a fair sized audience.
The play although an old one has not
been used much professionally but
proves a very desirable one for anna
teurs. The cast was we'll placed and
every one of them did we'll and es-
pecial mention should be made of the
very fine acting of Mr.. Wiltsee and
Miss Covert. These two young people
are very clever on the stage and have
considerable natural ability which
would be brought out wonderfully in
a short time. Mr.. Wiltsee especially
Is endowed with fine voice and per
sonal appearance and in his love
scenes we have seen few amateurs
! that were quite his equal.

Under The Auspices of the Eagles Of

they generally do the thing right. This
time the bringing Of carnival to

and, there has been good crowds and
all attending have had a good time.
The carnival company carry several
good free acts and most of their shows
ARE good and clean which is not the
case in a great many carnival COM
panies. Harry Pink with his Jesse
James show is the real attraction of
Kelly avenue and there is continually
a crowd in front of the tent waiting
for chance to see the great despera-
dos in the action through MISSOURI.
The films showing the life of the
James boys are very good and almost
true to life and people who have not
seen this feature of the carnival will
miss treat if they don't attend be-
fore the attraction is gone.
The Crazy House also drew well
and the Georgia Minstrels are a good
clean attraction. Many of those at
tending the carnival enjoyed the fer
ris wheel and merry-go-round and the
other attractions. The people of Devils
Lake as well as those from outside
who attended the carnival did not
wait for their merry-making until the
Hast night but began the very first
I! night and a large. crowd romped the
| streets until a late hour throwing con
I fetties and having a good time. On a
whole the carnival has been decided
= success SUI and the people Of Devils Lake
/ are Indebted to the Eagles for the
fine attraction that they successfully
managed.
