FREDDIE PRAISES THE
ACTS AT PR0CT0R'S

Julie Ring and Co. have got a
dandy little sketch called THE Girl
He Met"-and let me tell you right
here she's a peach. The story is
about a fellow that meets a girl,
takes her to a swell eating place,
and after she orders the whole bill
Of fare, finds out he's lost his dough.
He gets very nervous. and wants to
beat it, but the girl m in and
sings, but | don't think he enjoyed
it, even if the audience did, cause
be vas thinking OF the bill-but he
struck it rich, somebody stole his
coat, and the one that was left had a
roll of ~greenbacks in the pocket
gee you ought to have seen the fell
lows face. It's a pretty nice sketch.
Fred Watson has got a pretty
good voice, and tells a couple Of
good stories.
The Melnotte Twins, are a couple
of girls that look just alike, one
Of the sets that you know that you
can't tell which one you're talking
to. Anyhow they have got bully
good voices and talk about dancing,
well they know how to swing their
tootsies all right.
Now l can talk about Prince
Kar-Mt. The first thing he does is to
make his company appear from no
where. Then he swallows a few
swords-gee that was some stunt.
Then he goes out in the audience
and gets them to write something
on cards, then he hypnotlzes the girl
and she tells what the people have
written. Gee you folks want to get
busy and come and see some of this
Princes stunts and you want to see
his outfits gorgeous-honest to
goodness.

MORE LETTERS RECEIVED
BY WILLIAM H. BAWDEN

ceived by william H. Bawden,
where the names are suppressed be-
cause definite permission was not
given for their publication:
Dear Mr.. Bawden:
THE change in schedule of the
high school from my point Of view
has not a redeeming feature. My
boy Is among the fortunate ones
that have not yet had to return IN
the afternoon. Still the long hours
without a proper meal seems to
have already destroyed his appetite,
and the home work, which afore-
time was executed with vigor, Is now
a drudgery. OF course, | do not
know what Is behind the curtain,
and 1 fully believe the educational
authorities have the children's best
interests at heart; but this Is GER
tainly a mighty poor way Of showing
it, and there Is scarcely room for a
doubt that nine parents out of ten
are like myself, simply tolerating
the evil in the hopes 1t will very
soon die a natural death.
Yours truly,
my dear Sir,
by the present, we beg to adj
wise you that we I heartily In
favor OF your petition to the Board
of Education of this city, namely,
thai the pupils of the high school
of this city should have a longer
noon period than at the present
time. We cannot see how there can
be any benefit derived by having
such long morning sessions as the
school board saw At to install re-
Gently.
