Friday and Saturday night was the
source of joy and laughter. The big

enjoyed.
When the curtain went up. or rather
was drawn" no one in the house but
felt glad he had come, for little Miss
Alice McCrory and a chorus Of so
youngsters sang the Moon song. One
wondered where the all kiddies, with
their bright, smiling faces,s some as
naturally as you please. and others
with an adorable selfconsciOusness,
which children alone can wear grace
fully, came from.
Miss Kits and George Bragg fol-
lowed, singing, someone Else Will.
One of the best numbers Of the even
ing was the Indian chorus, lead by
Jessie and Cecil McCrory. The young
lady handled herself like a real leading
lady. Her dancing and her singing
both pleased.

hot fire, when they brought out the
verses on different participants in the
recent political campaign.
"AoGarden in SReden, dance anc
