This statement was given Oh. to-

THE LAKELAND HALL OF FAME

OF all the handsome men who will

given by the Lakeland Lodge of Elks
at the Auditorium the evening of

none more entertaining than William
Theodore Goodyear.

and pair of eyes that can see
things around corner, will be one
Of the bevy Of end men beauties in
the Elks' minstrel aggregation and
is booked to sing, DUSTY Rag" a
tuneful ditty having marked Ethio.
plan characteristics.
Our hero was born near Gainesville
at an early age and while still In
swaddling clothes emigrated to the
confines of classic Ocala, where he
went to school until he narrowly
missed graduation.
The temptations of mortar and of
pestle were too much for him, how
ever, and he deserted the halls of
learning for the mysteries of the pill
box and soda fountain. After hold
ing forth in the Ocala drug store for
two years, he enrolled at the Max
Morris School of Pharmacy at Ma
con, Ga, where he served a good
long term, although it was consider
ably shortened by good behavior.
Since his formal coming out"
Mr.. Goodyear, who is something on
the rubber but in no way related to
the works, has been relief man at
several different pharmacies In many
and sundry Florida cites and rumor
has it that he has never failed to
give relief to man or beast. He
came to Lakeland from Dade
City, and lakeland is glad while
Dade City is sorry about 1t. He is
now gracing the Central Pharmacy.
In rehearsal, Mr.. Goodyear has
shown an ease In vocalizing and a
stiffness in footwork which have
caused the boys to place large bets on
his batting average when the big
show comes off.
