"Ye Olden Time Concert"


Excepting, perhaps, the night when
portraits of local celebrities were
thrown upon the screen, the audience
which listened to Eye Olden Time
concert" on last Friday night at
the Imperial theatre was the largest
In Its history, and to say that they
were pleased isputting it very mildly.
II we may Judge by the frequent and
nearly outbursts Of applause and the
many encores.
The first number on the program,
after the PICTURES had been shown
once through, was piano solo by
Miss Cause, rendered in her usual
artistic and efficient manner, and
consisted OF medley Of old Southern
airs that are dear to the heart of every
true Southerner. Miss Causes mum.

declined to respond to the hearty en-
core which followed

The features of the program came
next when Mr.. j. II. Alley COR.

wended his way to the front, where.
after very gallant bow, he recited
The YOUTH" and in response TO a
perfect thunder of applause, gave
some otLer sweet little poem, and was
followed by violin solo by Mr.. J. r.
Stockard, coroner, entitled "--

these youngsters are upwards of rs
years of age, and their efforts we're
appreciated to the fullest extent.
The next number was "The Last
Rose of Summer, vocal, by Miss Edith
Vadakin, who responded to a hearty
encore with At Parting" We
thought Edith sang the grand old-time
song better than we bad ever heard
her sing anything She did fine, and
it was appreciated.
A piano solo entitled 1.-The Mocking
Bird, "and played by Mrs. J. R. Norfleet,
Mrs Bonner and Miss Louise Cargill,
members of three generations Of the
family, was one of the most enjoyable
numbers on the program, and was
faultlessly rendered, and each one did
just fine, receiving perfect furore of
applause.
Mrs. 7. c. Green and Mrs b D.

The entertainment was given under
the direction of Mrs. 7. c. Green, for
the benefit Of the Methodist church,
and the neat little sum of 425 90 was
realized.
"Ye Olden Time Concert, " together
with the splendid pictures shown,

enjoyable entertainments OF the sea-

"There is no doubt of it. The trouble
is that victims of this disease mistake
the symptoms for some trifling ailment

The pope at times complains of
pains in the small of the back which
increase when he sits up and when ne

are attributed by the physicians to

DANCE AND LIQUOR
AScribed to
Downfall of Girls.
Halls i'm Chicago Where
"FriendS" Are Provided.

Chicago, April 11.-Dance halls
where liquor is sold to girls and where
friends are provided for those who
want them were ascribed as the
cause of the downfall of many young
women by Mrs. Gertrude H Britton,
a social settlement worker, who testi-
fled today before the Illinois vice COM
mission.
I'm a thorough investigation we
found that there are 200 dance halls
in Chicago where liquor is sold to girls
under 6 years of age" said Mrs. Brit
ton. I'm some of the other places the
socalled soft drinks when analyzed by
the city chemist were found to con-
tain alcohol. In one dance hall on the
North side, we discovered the pro-
prietor had served notice on his
patrons that a friend would be pro-
vided for any girl who needed one
Investigators learned that respectable
dance halls were good thing, for
they provided diversion for many
morals, but that about half of the
dance halls are immoral. The selling
of liquor to girls is often the first step
toward their ruin"
Myrtle s. IT years old, told the
commission how a scolding by her
father, the chance meeting of Jolly
fellow and his giving her drugged
beer. led to her downfall. "On my
parents separating, I came to Chicago
from Cleveland and finding it lone
some to stay in my room at night, I
sought company said the witness.
"a girl introduced me to a friend. At
first, we took soft drinks, but later I
was induced to drink beer. One night
the beer affected me strangely and
after that I was a lost girl. I was
convinced my friend had drugged the
beer. We often visited hotels, some
times without any baggage, going to
those in the downtown district which
are considered respectable"
Proprietors of dance halls and
hotels mentioned by witnesses were to
testify later
