CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT
LAST TUESDAY EVENING

LAST TUESDAY EVENING
Never again will the citizens OF
Tonopah fear an invasion of the
peril. Never again will we
shake in our shoes when a bill to
repel the Japs is introduced in our
state legislature. For last evening
at the Pavilion theater there was
presented one of the neatest mill
tary drills by sixteen of Tonopah's
prettiest young ladies that has ever
been our pleasure to witness. The
drill corps was under the command
of Mrs. p. d. Mcleod and after each
evolution, the ladies were greeted
with tremendous applause. All the
mysterious maneuvers of a fancy
foot-work exhibition were present.
ed and to say that the ladies ac-
quitted themselves creditably would
be a mild way of paying them the
tribute they deserve for their efforts
are the result of many weeks train
ing.
Mr.. w. d. Forster, general traf-
fc agent of the Tonopah and Gold
field railroad is also deserving of
credit, for it was due to his efforts
that the team reached the high mark
of efficiency. At the conclusion of
the military drill the team present
ed a physical drill with swords that
equalled the first performance. In
response to the generous outburst OF
applause that greeted this number
they returned to the stage, eacf
J wearing an electric torch on her cal
