GAYETY SUSTAINS ITS NAME
in PROGRAM 1T FURNISHES.

Harry Hastings's Big Show Is play
ing this week at the Gayety Theatre.
Mr.. Hastings has always favored this
town with a real live, up-to-date bur-
lesque. The chorus that has been as
sembled is a nifty one. Every member
is endowed with a strong singing voice
and is willing to work for Hastings,
who they all declare is an ideal boss.
The opening burlesque is entitled IAN
Ocean Joy Ride" Here the carpenter
and scene painters are given an oppor-
tunity to show their skill, and they do
it. With a plot that is scarcely dis
cernible, the playlet is carried along
and many song numbers introduced.
Harry Hastings is much in evidence,
and is ably assisted by Tom Coyne.
The olio Is fair, Seymour, Dempsey
and Seymour, in ragtime singing and
piano playing, easily being the best.
Hill Cherry and Hill bicycle balancers
are good, as are Bohannon and Corey.
The second portion of the program Is
labeled "At the College Inn Here the
women get busy and make the best Of
the program. Viola Sheldon, with a
strong singing voice, carried off the
honors. Edna Hyland, who sings we'll,
is a close second. Miss Mona Ray
mond, who has a cold and really for
gets that she would look better If the
smiled, is fair.

MINERS SHOW AT THE EMPIRE
A ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FOR FUN,

A Miner show is playing at Miners
Empire Theatre this week. That
should be sufficient to draw a crowd at
every performance. But the name Is
not all. Edwin D.. Miner, who presents
the show. has always commanded the
respect of burlesque t~heatregoers, and
wants to continue to please them. Thus
1t is that he always brings a good
show with him and leaves the i'm
preston that he has obtained the best
there is to be had.
The fun-producer of the first part Is
called "The Song Hits of the Season"
Then m Khaldah, a great magi-
clan, followed by the middle piece,
which is labeled The Little Blonde
Man." This is a breezy burlesque and
elicits many laughs. The closing bur-
lesque is billed as "A Country School"
The members of the company take the
part of school children and their COM
edy is good. Blake's comedy circus, in
Guiding Maud, is a clever equestrian
act. The educated horse is a marvel
and would delight children.
Friday night is amateur night. This
week the amateurs will be handled by
Edwin Miner, who is called the Father
of Amateurs" 1t is declared by all
that when he gets behind the gun

The number of acts in a play depend
entirely on the needs of the author to
represent and tell his story. One act
usually constitutes a play in vaude-
vile.
No waiting will be allowed between
acts If that is what you mean. If the
story requires schange of scene it
must be accomplished without delay.
You may also have a lapse of time
without keeping the audience waiting.
This can be denoted by dropping the
curtain for a few seconds.-P. C. Editor.

ingston and Miss Mable Estelle, as Mr..
n Mrs. Cotton; Mr.. Harry b. Roche
and Miss Lillian Stuart, as Mr.. and
Mrs. Holliston, are the suburbanite
friends, and help to fill the fun-making
roles. Miss Gabrielle Ross, as Carrie,
with her saucy, pert manner, does not
help Mrs. Brice to solve the servant
problem, and, as usual, leaves without
a moments notice, adding fuel to the
fire. The entire company is at its best.

GOOD ROADS DAY.

Now is the time to plan for a, Good
Roads Day in every county in the
state. Powers county. one of the
first in the state to have such day
last year, is already planning for this
year. The suggestion has been made
however, that the Good Roads Day
this year be on the same date in all
the counties along the Santa Fe
trail and Rainbow route.
This suggestion will probably be
carried out, and some day in April
thousands of men and hundreds of
teams will be seen at work on one
road, and their labors will extend
over a distance of more than 200
miles.
A Good Roads Day means much to
any county, and now is the time to
plan this work. From results obtain
ed last year, roads in the counties
having such day were much i'm
proved, and the work done worth
thousands of dollars.
The campaign for 5000 members
OF the Colorado Good Roads ASSES
o: the Colorado Good Roads asso-
citation in the state is going on with
marked success. The thousand mark
has been nearly reached,with but few
counties heard from. In all parts Of
the state meetings are being held
each week. and plans for securing
members at one dollar each are be-
ing made in each county. Otero
county this week heads the list, with
100 members to it's credit
