The temperature today has been
spring-lke. and more people we're on

the experience OF the first month and a

fine Entertainment
LARGE NUMBER OF CITIZENS
PLEASED WITH ExERCIsEs
GIVEN LAST EVENING.

One OF the most interesting Of the
| Christmas entertainments given by
the several religious organizations OF
! the city this seasOn was that given
by the Salvation corps at their bar
racks last evening.
Songs. recitations, dialogues and In
strnmental music were the principal
features on the program and those
| who took part In entertaining the
audience, which filled the large hall
to overlooking, were little tots from
four or five years OF age, to talented
men and women who had made every
effort to make the program Instruct
i've as well as entertaining.
A very pretty and beautiful Christ
mas tree was Of course the principal
attraction for the little folks and none
of them were forgotten when the
presents were distributed.
The children all did wei in recita.
ton, song and dialogue, and the same
can be said OF the older ones who
took part in the entertainment. Il
| was plain to be seen that those who
had trained the little ones had spared
| no efforts In the difficult task and the
children certainly did not disappoint
them. Every number on the program
was well rendered. Adjutant and
Mrs. Wolverton favored the audience
with a song that won great applause,
and the rendition of instrumental mu-
SIC. violin and piano, by Miss Wally
Dirl.am and her brother, Curtis, elicit
ed such an encore that they were call
ed upon to favor those present with
another selection.

With the greatest singing and danc- ing chorus ever assembled with one show, with more song hts and eXclu- sive features than were ever seen in any production, "The Smart Set" is coming back to add new laurels to those earned, and deservedly too, in past seasons. The new production is entitled The Darktown Politician and with Salem Tut Whitney in the title role it can easily be seen that the evening will be one long continu- ous laugh-and good loud laugh at that. for Whitney's fun is hilarious, although refined and artistic in the highest sense. The Dixieland Drill, Southland Octette, Ragtime Jubilee and half score of other features aid
 in making the performance one long to be remembered with the greatest of pleasure. At the Auditorium to- night.
