To Form Dramatic club.

Organization of a dramatic club in
the tri-cities is being talked. There
are number OF local people, among
them being Mrs. Florence Magill-Wal-
lace and William Butterworth, who
realize the value a dramatic club
would prove to the community. A
number have signified their intention
to become charter members of the
club and the result would no doubt
be higher class of home talent than
has ever, previous to the present time,
been presented in the tri-cities. 1t is
known that Rock Island parties also
are interested in the organization Of
such a club, to be an auxiliary socieSy
to the Choral union. Mr.. Butterworth
has expressed himself favorably and
nothing will be done in the way IF
active organization until he returns
from the bedside of Mrs. c.. H. Deere

ment and reckoning in a business
way as to the Soul of Music" recent
ly staged by the Choral union, can be
made until Mr.. Butterworth returns.
