7 OCAL celebrities are spending
the days very pleasantly
Id roasting ELAN. They start
early in the morning and conclude
late in the evening. They pan him
for this and for that. And having
panned, they switch over to Mar
can and pan him little. And then
they take slap or two at MeGil-
vray.
Ellam made a couple of errors
yesterday afternoon. This fact Will
be a choice morsel for the ELAN
knockers to feed on this morn
Ing. They rejoice when he makes
an error. When he makes a couple,
they cry to heaven. They sing
paeons of praise when he makes
three, and on the afternoons in
which he makes four they join
Justify in chanting the TIE Deum
Laudamus.
1t is all very pleasant. We have
no objection. They may pan Ellam
all they desire And ELAN has no
objection. He has heard them pan
ming for four or FIVE years. But
still he hangs on to his job. And he
will probably be playing shortstop
for several more years. We hope so.
When Manager Molesworth' sends
him to the bench. we fear that we
will have a falling out with Mana

an error is ruinous. They are say

We are partial to ELAN not be-

fielder. We like the way he tries.
We like his spirit. He is a fighter
all the way Even his enemies ad-
init this. He never gives up Spir-

Baron club was as full of spirit as
ELAN. If every man was as en-
thusiastic in his efforts to win,

prying into the corners of the ma

AT THE ORPHEO

Think of man singing a duet with himself. Can you imagine or concelva of anything more novel. At first you may say that such a thing is out of the question. But to be thorol ghly convinced of the truthfulness of the statement all you need to do is to at tend the performance at the Orpheo today. MT. Harry L. Tally, singer of note, who has made many records for the Victor Talking Machine Con- pany will perform the novel and un- heard of stunt of sing duet with himself. He will use record made by himself and accompany It. This week Mir. Tally has appeared for the first time in Pine Bluff and the en- thusiastic applause with which his every rendition is greeted is ample proof of his ability as singer. He is truly a silver voiced tenor with a range that is far out of the ordinary.
