THE HONEYMOONERS
COMES TONIGHT,
Capacity Audience viii Greet
COhan'S Sparkling Show.

The company of sixty people
! twenty comedians and condolences
and forty pretty chorus girls, who are
to present George NJ. Cohan's famous
THE Honeymooners" at the Auditor
ium arrived in the city at noon from
Lincoln, where they played at the Oil
yer to a packed house last night,
A capacity audience is promised for
the evenings event Anything bear
ing the Cohan trademark is gilt-edged,
and Norfolk will cordially greet the
big show
THE Honeymooners."
If George NJ. Conan had never writ
ten anything but THE Honeymoon
ers' his fame would be national as
composer and humorist In this de-
lightful Cohanesque production the
brilliant young acknowledgements
is at his best. He wrote, composed
and staged The Honeymooners," for
himself and made it represent the very
to present himself for an entire sum-
mer to Broadway. He wrote a re-
sounding success for the New Amster-
dam theater where the song show ran
all last summer at winter prices and
thousands came again and again. The
music is irreSistibly catchy and of
the twenty musical numbers there are
OF ho1
hits that every one in New York is
whistling and hummng Among the
favorite songs are kid Days" I'm
One Night Stand, "Ill be There in
the Public Square" MAKE a Lot of
Noise" and IF I'm Coin to Die I'm
Coin to Have Some Fun" The plot
it a masterpiece. it is as carefully
worked out and followed up as if
The Honeymooners" was serious
drama. Cohan has no rival in the
art of mingling music and excitement
and to the accompaniment of delight
full music the spectator watches with
eager interest the progress of love,
politics and sport in the Vermont vii
Iage of Tigerville. COhan is a mas
ter of the Yankee village type and in
THE Honeymooners" he has covered
the entire range of country types with
a humur an satire exceeding anything
ever done by HOyt. In the matter of
costuming and production The Honey
mooners" eclipses anything on the
road. The fact that the song show
was produced at the New Amsterdam
theater known as the "theater beauti-
full is proof of its scenic excellence.
The cast is made up of Broadway
fayorites and includes such we'll
known players as Willie Dunlay,
James BARLEY, Daniel Sullivan, Jack
London, Thomas A Hearn, William
Singer, Annie Wheaton, Gertrude lie
Brandt, Rose Gildea and Minnie Pol
lord, The chorus selected and staged
by Mr.. Cohan contains some forty of
the daintiest and prettiest girls who
ever were induced to leave Broadway
because a show was a success.

Mr. Reed was for five years a mem.
Der of The News family, holding the
position of neutrality-suspicious. When
the order for the first Linotype that
came to The News was placed Mr..
Reed who at that time lived in Elk
Point, S. D., and was well recon-
mended, was sent to a technical school
in Chicago to learn the machine. When
the machine reached the office Mr..
Reed was back from Chicago ready to
set it up and he operated and took
care of the machine for more than
five years. He soon became an expert
operator and a thorough machinist,
enabling him last spring to go into
one of the Sioux City offices and hold
a machine with the best operators.
Mr.. Reed is a thoroughly upright,
honorable young man, with a good
head and strong heart, and he will
make a good husband.
