COURT MAR1NA's LADIES' NIGHT

More than four hundred members
and friends of Court Marina, Fores-
tiers of America, met in the lodge
rooms Monday evening, the event be-
ing Ladies' night, the second enjoyed
this season. This affair was conduct
ed solely by the ladies and proved to
be one of the greatest,if not the great
est, function ever attempted by the
court. A concert programme by some
of the foiem ost artists of the city en-
tertained the guests for an hour after
which all adjourned to the banquet
hall above where a. sumptuous repast
was spread. The banquet was in the
form of an old fashioned New Eng
land dinner, and nothing in this line
was omitted. The banquet hall was
gaily and tastefully decorated and pre-
scented a most pleasing appearance
The concert programme was as fol-
lows:
Overture. Cuddle Up and Cling to Me.
On the Mississippi, by Kearns orches-
ira Spanish dance by Elizabeth Morris
and Loas Wolfe, accompanied by Jen-
ME HanIey, pianist violin duet, The
Rosary, Oscar Mohr and Louis B.
Samrnis soprano solo. Carrissima. by
Miss Landberg; baritone solo, When
Lost You, by John Hanley; tenor
solos, Leaf by Leaf the Roses Fall,
Twilight Dreams, Joseph Ciabby.
During the banquet, J. Hay erilia
sang eff Some One Would Only Love
Me- and Vincent C1abby entertained
with selections on the piano. The
banquet was followed by dancing.
Probably the greatest, hit OF the
evening was the rendering of the
''Tur key Trot'' by Messrs- Meyer and
Hanley, the renowned knockabout
team formerly of Keith's circuit but
recently of the Cabaret circuits. The
ease and grace of this team was the
talk of the evening.
The committee in charge were: Mrs.
