FEAST
Society Ladies' Minstrels
Give Superb Show to
Capacity Audience.

It was a dream. From the open
ing chorus to the closing march, the
Weratchec Society Ladies Ministries
gave a show last night which stands
unequallcd for excellence among tho
many fine local talent productions
given in this city.
When the curtain went up, the
big audience held its breath mo-
EeDt in sheer amazement at the ar
ray Of red and black. then broke
forth in thunderous applause. In
thc center of the front row, large
chair, drapcd with the American
flag, was later occupied by the in
tcrlocutor, Mrs. E. S. Russell. Her
stately entrance was the signal for
another spontaneous storm of ap-
prevail. On either side Of the inter
l0cutor. extending TO the wings, sat
minstrcls dressed in black full dress.
their white shirt hosoms shining
with a luster exceeded only by the
brilliancy of their huge diamond CD
studs. At the extremities and fac
ing toward the center sat the tam
bourines and bones. Back Of the
full dress row, rising one tier above
the other, were four rows of black
faces, some round, some thin, some
long and some short. These faces
surmountcd bright red suits which
made a background for picture
unsurpassed for beauty on the local
stage.
1t was a merry musical feast di-
vided into two parts. The first ses-
sion was a series of solos, punctu-
ated with perfect chorus work and
ripping jokes, most of which brought
down the house because of local
color. A little dancing added relish,
some of which was hot stuff"
Now, who under the sun is that?"
was the query on nearly every lip as
each soloist would advance to the
footlights. Mothers were distracted
to distinguish their own daughters.
A husband tried to look wise but was

unable to tell which black beauty
was his own The cork worked
complete transformation OF every
feature The best guessers were
mystified and each attempt to give
the real name only made the wise
ones talk sound foolish.
You'll Come Back was the first
solo, sung by a regular coon shout
er," whose rich contralto penetrated
every corner OF the house. Just
to Remind YOU" What's the Use
CT Saving Money!" and I'm Stary-
ing for One Sight of You brought
showers of flowers from the boxes.
Let 1t Alone was the hit of the
first part and several encores called
forth some stanZas containing hot
shots al local politicians. 'Twilight'
was an effective lyric song and
Somebody Loves You. Dear" re-
vealed a wonderfully beautiful meg
Zo-soprano voice. Come After
Breakfast. Bring Along Your Lunch
was sung by one of the tam bourincs
with great effect and was featured
with rather sensational dancing.
The second part opened with Miss
Mildred Finch occupying the spot

dexterously while singing. Hello

put on d hood, blackened her face
and skipped forth as regular Top

the six monkeys which entered and
danced during the chorus.
Things that Happen in Wenatchee

clever black faces who came on the
stage bearing a trunk. Numerous
recalls compelled the ladies to re-
veal more and more secrets.
Miss Helene Seaman starred in

song, "Wenatchee." was beautifully
sung by Miss Mildred Natural, who
ever that may be.
The big hit of the second part was
1.-The Dream Girl Dance" by Miss
Cherry Blossom (Helen Tibbits).
1t was an exhibition of modern art
dancing, pleasing in the extreme.
With the rise of the curtain. the
dancer appeared as statue holding

ed to her original pose and the cur

The performance closed with the
song Of Mics Dazzle Dewdrcp and an
intricate march by the Wcnatchee
Society Ladies Minstrels. Ii was a
beautiful piece OF work and brought
forth repeated expressions of ap-
prevail from the audience.
Tonight the Minstrcls will repeat
the show and another capacity au-
dience is assured, the Elks of the
city having engaged 125 seats for
the performance. Some special
stunts in their honor are expected.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
OCEAN BOULEVARD WALK

Editor Call: wide board walk
should be constructed along the ocean
beach on the great highway extending
from II street southerly to the Sloat
boulevard for the use of pedestrians
who are now obliged to plow through
deep sand on the beach or dodge auto
mobiles on the highway.
Every possible Improvement has been
made to make the Ocean boulevard at
tractive to the automobi1ist, but there
are thousands of men, women and chill
dren who only get one or two days
each week for recreation and can not
afford automobiles.
There Is no finer natural stretch of
ocean beach in this country than that
which extends from H street to the
Sloat boulevard and none so deplor-
ably neglected.
Wide board promenades are features
of Coney island and Manhattan beach
OF New York. The Board Walk at At
lantic City, n. J., has done more to ad-
vertise the place as an attractive sum
mer resort than any other feature; in
fact, the board walk is the feature of
Atlantic City, and is the place where
every one goes to see every one else
on promenade or in the rolling chairs.
Very likely the board of supervisors
would approve OF this suggestion and
appropriate the necessary funds for the
work. The amount would be small and
the improv ement great.
The walk along the ocean beach is
almost always pleasant. The air is
pure and the view superb, the picture
always changing. In the early morning

Some Recent Verse
Expectancy


The dog is curled up fast asleep,
The cat lies in the sun.
The silence grows more wide and deep.
| hear no wee feet run
Along the hall, there is no cry,
No racket anywhere;
And so I lay my paper by,
My soul oppressed with care.
1t was not very long ago
He used to make things hum,
He used to patter to and fro,
He used to go and come;
The doors would creak and slam up
stairs,
The cat would be a streak
OF flying fur, behind the chairs
The dog would softly sneak.
But now the house is very still
And my suspense Is great.
oh, at my heart feel chill,
/ sit alone and wait
He has been still so long-so long!
My pulses seem to stop
/ have premonition strong
I'll soon hear something drop!

For Book
A monk once labored in a lonely cell,
Gliding the pages OF missal rare,
And those who passed looked in to see
him there.
His lips soft smiling, and a light that
fell
Glorious about his head and one would
tell:
Here sits he all ths day and will not
spare
Himself for WEAKNESS, but his look will
bear
Such peace as in Gods face alone may
dwell"
Lady. / give thee this and ask thee
here,
To read these pages in the light that
made
The monk smile always, and his task,
each year,
Grow lighter and his soul more un-
afraid:
Love had its wonder on his spirit laid;
And in that visions brightness all was
dear.

TALMUD-Q. H., Newark What is the
meaning OF the Hebrew word s.talmud''?
In Chaldean, talmud is instruction;
in Hebrew, talmis, scholar.
The Jewish encyclopedia says that it
is an old scholastic term of the tan
naim or teachers of the oral law and
is noun formed from the verb
limmed, to teach. 1t therefore means
primarily, teaching, although 1t de-
notes also learning; it is employed in
this latter sense with special reference
to the torah; the terms talmud and
torah being usually combined to indi-
cate the study of the law, both lin its
wider and its more restricted sense. The
talmud is the body of fundamental Jew
ism laws, comprehending the laws of
Moses; the expositions and the ampii-
fications OF the rabbins thereon and a
collection of traditions.

Three or hinos
Duprez, the great but Ill favored
French tenor, was once walking from
the Grand Opera House In Paris with
the baritone Baroilhet, who was not
an Apollo either. They happened to
meet Perrot, the dancer, man Of very
great ability, but short and thin and
so ugly that a manager once said he
could never engage Perrot unless for
the Jardin DIES Plantes geological gar
dens), as he engaged no monkeys.
Perrot told them the story, and
when Duprez laughed at him Perrot
said: ''Why, surely you need not laugh.
II am ugly l am certainly not SO
ugly as either Of you
"You monkey" said Duprez, this
difference shall soon be settled" And.

to be a gentleman. Monsieur" said be,
will you be so good as to arbitrate
in a little difference Of opinion be-
tween us?"
"With pleasure" said the stranger.
'1f can"
sWell," said Duprez. "just look at
us and say whom you consider to be
the ugliest Of the three"
The gentleman looked for some time
from one to the other and then said.
"Gentlemen, / give it up; l cannot
possibly decide" and went away roar
ing with laughter.
