GOLDEN
FUNNIEST
COHEN'S PRESENT TREAT AT Or
PHEUM is DIFFERENT" FROM
ANYTHING ELSE.

In spite of the heavy rain the Or
pheum theater was crowded last even
ing to see Jack Golden and his ex-
cellent comedy company in sketches,
sllits, songs, dances and playlets
The boxes were filled, too, for the
fame of the laughter-making aggre-
cation had been spread abroad by
those fortunate enough to witness the
opening program.
There was a change of doings last
night and what was then presented
was even an improvement on the first
production.
Jack Golden started by setting the
house in a grin, then litter, then
giggle, and finally ripping laughter.
You see, he is a progressive come
dian and works his audience through
the whole itinerary of fun, and in all
this he is most ably supported by
charming leading lady in Miss Birdie
De Laire, who has way all her own
and a mighty fetching way at that, for
she fetches admiration as we'll is
laughs.
The chorus is perhaps, all in all, the
most entertaining that has ever been
seen on a local stage, for the girlies
who make up this feature of the show
are fascinating from the tips of their
lithesome toelets to the crowns of
their heads, and higher, for their Golf
fures are a bit higher than their head
tops. They are pretty, graceful, live
ly, jolly, charmingly arrayed in elab-
crate costumes and are not afraid Of
displaying their agility. They have
voices, too, and you want to see and
hear them.
"a Mexican German" is a laugh
ing tonic; it clears your head and
leaves you in a better condition for the
next days work or play. Golden is
an artist, there's no doubt about 1t,
and, what's particularly to the point,
his company is different" from any
thing else ever shown here. 1t is clev-
er, original and delightfully."- entertain
ing
Joel Conen, theatrical manager, has
certainly scored a popular hit in ac-
quiring this bunch of live-ones. Again
| tonight!

without realizing the seriousness of
the absolute worthlessness of our few
ships. Japan, England, Germany and
in fact every maritime nation of the
earth with the possible exception of
China, are able and ready to send out
large number of ships to act as trans
ports, golfers, scout cruisers and COM
merce destroyers, but we are not able.
There are many congressman from
the middle west of the United States,
who have never seen salt water, and
who don't see any reason why the peo-
pie should pay for a thing which in
their mind is foolishness. America
is paying an enormous sum of money
every year to foreign shipowners for
the carrying of American goods that
should be carried in ships built at our
own shipyards and flying the Stars and
Stripes.
The matter is one that is of grave
importance and the sooner the people
of America get together and demand
that Congress pass a subsidy bill the
better You can say for me, through
the columns of your paper, that have
always been, am now, and always will
be, against any law that will give for
eign ships any chance to compete fol
trade that should belong to American
ships, and 1 hope to see the day thai
our flag is once more restored to he
proper position on the high seas"
