GERTRUDE HOFFMAN, OCTO-
BER 10.

As a special added feature during the
engagement of Gretrude Hoffman's Sal
son des Ballets Russes" at the Everett
theater on Tuesday, October 10, Miss
Hoffman has promised to introduce her
sensational new Revue. In this Revue
Miss Hoffman will impersonate Ethel
Barrymore, George M. Cohan, Eddie Foy,
Eva Tanguay, Anna Held Harry Lauder,
Ruth st. Denis, Isadora Duncan, Eddie
Leonard, and also does an impersonation
of Annette Kellerman in her diving
scenes. For this impersonation alone,
a huge tank is carried and ten girls in
bathing suits follow Miss Hoffman in
her aquatic mimicry.
Every impersonation is complete
scenically and the costumes are as the
originals.
1t is estimated that "The Girl in the
Taxi has caused more people to laugh
than any ten plays combined. 1t has
been acclaimed as the superior of
"Charley's Aunt" which, until "The Girl
in the Taxi" was produced, held first
position as the greatest laugh producer
this country has ever known. OF tears
there are none, but if one wishes to eX-
perience two and one-half hours of mer-
riment and pleasure, then trip to "The
Girl in the Taxi" is highly recommended.

meeting witnessing the initiation of fit

has been made, and justly, that the men

and enthusiasm that the girls are show

COOKS, WATERS AND WAIT
RESSES ENTERTAIN.

Among all the merry crowds that
have been in the Labor Temple of late,
none were merrier than the boys and
girls of the Cooks, Walters and Wait
resses' union that held carnival last
Monday evening. The occasion was a
combined business meeting and social
session and was attended largely by the
members of that hustling union.
The business session was brief but a
lot of important business was trans
acted. By unanimous vote it was de-
cided to affiliate with the State Fedora
tion of Labor and it is to be hoped that
delegates from that union will be pres
ent at the Spokane convention.
The secretary treasurer reported tnat
the finances were in the most healthy
condition and that the majority of the
members were in good standing.
1t being the night for election of Of
ficers, the following were chosen to
serve for the coming term: President,
F. G.. Pollard; vice-president, Lydia
Skauge; secretary treasurer and business
agent, R. II. Highberg; inspector, Lille
Hopkins; chaplain, Harvey Thompson;
sergeant at arms, Dan Werner; eXecu-
tive board, Theresa Hays, Mary Nc
Dougall, Harvey Thompson; delegates
to the Trades Council, F. G. Pollard,
Theresa Hayes, r. H. Highberg
At the conclusion of the business ses-
sion, the members and friends sat down
to an elegant repast served by F. G..
Pollard. The table was loaded with good
eats in abundance and more than one
arose from the board with regrets at
a limited capacity. Mrs. Rose B..
Moore was called upon for few words
and spoke briefly of the work of the
Label League.
After justice had been done to the
good things to eat, all adjourned to the
hall downstairs where Brothers Wagner
and Jones of the Musicians union were
waiting with violin and piano to entice
the feet of the lovers of the waltz and
two-step. A cordial invitation had been
extended to the members of the Label
League who had been downstairs to re-
main and enjoy with them an hour or
two of dancing, and many availed them
selves of the invitation.
Until 1l:30 the floor was filled with
dancers, when all departed for their sew
eral homes with warm feeling in their

Mrs. Theo. zeigler, president of the
Label League, and Rose b. Moore, or
ganizer for the Trades Council, iourneyed
to Snohomish Tuesday night upon invi-
tation of the carpenters union of the
up-river city. Much interest was
aroused among the union men of that
city in the work being done by the wom-
en- of Everett along union lines and it
was promised that a special car would
be secured next Monday night to bring
Snohomish unionists and their wives to
Everett to attend the open meeting of
the Label League.

The Quincy Herald warns the fans
of the fact in order for the city to
make good in the new league thew
must attend the games. 1t says:
Everybody wants the home team
to win. If the home team wins the
attendance is good, if the team loses.
the attendance drops off. Many fans
insist that they are sports and do not

Is losing they find convenient business

time and the money to attend base

they believed in Quincy, were satisfied
that Quincy was live town. believed
that the fans here would support the

Muscatine Journal: Now that the
clubs are well settled into their strides
the dopesters will soon begin to get
busy again to figure out where the
pennant will fly. The leaders always
look good and some of those who early
in the season could see only Ottumwa
or Burlington now think the race is
between these two clubs, Galesburg,
Keokuk and possibly Muscatine. We
are particularly sweet on the PAYERS
on account of their showing in the
past several weeks both at home and
on the road. Bert Houghs aggregation
is playing the best ball on the cir
cult, for while the PAYERS are not
hitting harder in the average than
some of the other clubs, they are
clouting when it does good and are
playing a smart inside" game In
addition, there is the gilt-edged
work of Tanning and Mogridge, and
to lesser degree the playing OF
Eberts and Blausser which has
held the enemy in check. Musca-
tine is hitting at noisy clip, but
the play has been very streaky,
while the pitchers have been batted
So hard that the local club has lost
more games than it has won. Again
they are wonderfully effective at
times and to this end the Big Stick
will strive to the utmost. But any
club which can win by hitting al
ways is dangerous, for if its own
pitchers are going well, it takes
more than its share Of the combats.
