Brooklyn Society Of VermOntors.

The Brooklyn, N. Y, Society Of Yer
monters, one Of the Invest Of the several
organizations OF its kind in various cities
Of the union, held its annual feast Satur-
day night in the Pouch gallery, Clinton
avenue, Brooklyn. 1t was g notable
gathering, graced by the presence of
many men of fame and standing, who
hailed from Old Vermont. Among the
guests we're Governor Prouty, who went
to Brooklyn for the purpose OF attending;
Judge Wendell P. Stafford OF the bench
of the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, formerly of st. Johnsbury, and
who q few years since delivered his ad-
dress on s'The Making Of Vermont" be-
fore the University club OF Randolph; ;
Col. George Harvey, editor of the Harper
publications, a native of Peacham; Mrs.
Julia C. r. Dorr of Rutland, the Yer
mont poetess; and others.
George +. Miner OF New York and
Gaysville, VT, the president OF the society,
presided at the dinner and filled the role
Of tcastmaster with originality and wit.
He hinted rather broadly in his introduce
tory remarks that it was rather too bad
that they had nothing better than spring
water With which to drink the toasts, but
no one seemed to mind even when he
suggested that he wasn't putting up an
apology. II wasn't his fault that YER
mont had been a prohibition state for
about so years or that native Vermonters,
the world over, were famed for their fine
discrimination and abstemious habits.

Frank II. Chandler, two Of the oldest
members Of the BROOKLYN society attended

ELkS' ANNUAL SHOW
"THE ELK'S TOOTH''
The SKY Line of Musical Comedies, Produced BY Odgen
Lodge No. 719, 3. P. o. E., Feb 1919.

We take great pleasure In announc.
Ing the coming production OF the fam.
ous musical comedy. The Elk's Tooth,
or the Isle of Mystery" for our annual
show.
Bro. H. l.. Brown, the owner and
director. is with us for the first time,
but he Is well known with the Elks
throughout the country as a producer
Of local benefits and he needs no intro
duction-
Bro. Brown carries a carload of
scenery and effects, which Is without
doubt the finest ever brought to Ogden
by a musical comedy company.
The first stage setting. representing
modern liner at sea- Is considered
the finest OF Its kind in existence. It
was painted by Sosman & Lands, OF
Chicago, from photographs taken on
board the liner Celtic" and Is abso-
lutely perfect In every detail.
None Of the local opera house scene
r. VIII be used. as Mr.. Brown carries
the complete settings for every act
Another strong feature is the cos
tunes worn by the chorus. These wege
made by Youngblood of Chicago, and
are first class in every particular. All
are new and bright, the color effects
Of the many different scenes being
worked out most harmoniously.
The electrical effects used during
the dances and movements Of the
chorus give tone TO great many beau
tiful stage pictures.
One OF the most striking scenes
ever on the local stage is the finale of
the first act representing a terrific
storm at sea and the ship on fire
Rehearsals are progressing better
than we anticipated and from the fact
that the entire cast is taking such a
great interest and displaying such an
unusual amount OF enthusiasm, we feel
confident that Tho Elks Tooth" will
surpass all previous efforts along'the
entertainment line and prove the great
est local show ever given in Ogden
