GEEzER IS
A ROTTEN
EXHIBITION

THE Geezer," Nat Fields tabloid
musical comedy as produced at the Or
pheum theater last evening Is about
the worst excuse for a play that has
been seen in this city In some time.
There is not a single thing to reco-
mmend the production. The verdict as
rendered by practically the entire au-
dience at last nights first show was
that 1T was rotten"
The play has no point 1t is sug-
gestive, there are nothing but slap
stick comedians of the "burlesque"
type in 1t, and there is not a girl in
the chorus that can sing.
The costumes are ordinary and there
was not joke that was not dessicat-
ed with age When the actors in a
play attempt to spring that "Youno"
gag in this day and age 1t is time for
the audience to get up and leave.
There are scores of burlesque shows
over the country that have Nat Fields
so-called musical comedy backed off
the boards, and there are shows of
that character IN Chicago that are
more decent

Elks' Circus Day.

The Elks had most enthusiastic
meeting at their clubrooms last night
and one of the largest crowds of the
year tourned out to enjoy the social
session. The meeting was followed by
a smoker, when all committees on the
annual Elks' day festival reported ex-
cellent progress, a live and most ac-
tive interest being shown.
Another feature was added to the
long list of attractions last night
which will be in the shape of a great
circus parade, and Drs. Clark and
Sharrer will have charge of the ar
engagements. Every Elk viii be In cos
tune and unique characters will be
represented. This feature is expected
to cause more JOY and excitement than
a real circus day.
The ball game in the afternoon be-
tween Hammond and East Chicago
Elks will mean a hard game. as the
magnificent loving cup which will be
given to the winner, will be a proud
trophy for the winning team. 1t will
be remembered that both East Chicago
and Gary took the former loving cups
from Hammond. who will make an ef-
fort to take this one.

ton of the building of a viaduct over

cost OF building the viaduct. providing

Ing to pay their share.
Accordingly. Miss Brooks conferred
with Mayor K. W. Wosczinski, with the
result that mass-meeting has been
called for next Tuesday evening, al
which time the project will be pre-
scented to the citizens OF West Ham
mond and those of Hammond who may
be interested.
