SUMMERFIELD


I.teresti.g Exercises at the Dedication
Of the Fraternal Union Hall
Summerfeld, May last Thursday |
evening the dedication OF the Frater- |
nal Union Of America hall took place. |
Never before in the history of Summer
field has a ceremony caused such inter- |
est and It seemed as though everybody |
in town was present.
At the hour set for the dedication
Mr.. Otto c. Lloyd. one of our new set
tiers, mounted the stage and made
short but appropriate address, after
which the regular program arranged
for the evening began. The first num-
Der with Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd as the
characters, was a short comidetta en-
titled "Jako," which kept the audience
in a continual roar. A very pretty IL
Illustrated song well rendered was the
next. after which fully one hour and
quarter Of very fine moving pictures
were shown on the canvass. AS the last
picture faded away and the good
night" slide was flashed on the can
vass, the audience rose clapping their
hands and as they passed out congrat-
ulated the council on their efforts and
promised to patronize all shows given
In the hall.
We must not forget to say that Mr..
and Mrs Otto c. Lloyd, who are among
the leaders OF vaudeville and the NOV
ing picture business. are high class ar
lists and that their acts and pictures
are clean, amusing and of the highest
character.
The Summerfield council Of the F. U.
OF A. was organized last December and
1t only took its twenty plucky men,
bers two weeks to decide that a hall
was necessary. Mr. d. B. Mayo, the
fraternal master, with the assistance
OF the entire membership, has worked
hard and they are proud to say that
although the smallest and youngest
council in the state. this council is
the only one owning it's own hall.
Last Saturday evening another NOV
ing picture and vaudeville show was
given to a crowded house and the ap-
probation Of the audience was even
more intense than at the preceding
performance.
II has been arranged by the man
agement to have every Tuesday even
ing q dancing class with refreshments,
every frst and third Thursday Of each
month the regular council meetings
and every other Saturday high class
moving picture show. The next show
will take place Saturday evening, May
18th. at 8 p. m. sharp.
