CHOCOLATE SOLDIER
rs THE NEXT

The Third Degree played to a good
sized house at the Hammond Theatre
last night and everybody who saw the
show was delighted with it Miss
Sarah Padden in the role of Anna
Jeffries was a worthy successor to
Helen Ware, who made the part fam
Gus in the original production.
Leighton Stark as Captain Clinton
made a splendid impression. Mr.. Joseph
r. Garry. who played the part of
Daniel Bewrster. the lawyer, was ex-
ceedingly well fitted fer the part he
portrayed.
Next Friday night the Chocolate
Soldier with 81 people and an aug
mented orchestra will be the attrac-
ton at the Hammond Theatre. This
is expected to be one of the theatrical
treats of the season and on account
of the fact that the show apears hers
on a week night a number of theatre
parties are being arranged.
THE Chocolate Soldier is a comic
opera of high quality and has given
the country some tuneful music. 1t is
expected that it will attract as largs
an attendance as Louisiana Lou which
broke all records for attendance.

South Bend Wins.

The Hammond high school basketball
five fell before the mighty last Satur
day night at South Bend, when they re-
eeived a severe trouncing at the hands
of the South Bend warriors by an I'M
even score of 81 to "a. 1t was a case
of the South Bend squad being too fast
a class for the local boys, but they put
up great game and showed the st.
Joseph county team that they knew
some thing about basketball at that.
The Hammond team resembled five
midgets when they lined up against
South Bend. as two of them ranged in
the vicinity of over feet and of course
you can imagine Hammond up against
something like that The local boys
though defeated came back to Ham
mond with praise of the South Bend
quintet. They credited them with hav-
ing the fastest and most clever five that
they have lined up against in some
time and think the ST. Joseph county
team should have the best of a chance
for the state honors This puts Ham
mond out of the running order for the
county or state honors and Whiting
will have to put in a bid for Lake
county they have been awarded the
tenth district over Lafayette by the
state board
South Bend was given the victory in
the thirteenth district and Whiting and
South Bend VIII battle in their first
championship game at Notre Dame next
Saturday.
