WHAT Do YOU CALL
| YOUR DOG, BOWERS?
Low Down Trick Played on Very
Important Actor on the
0rpheum Bill

Someone played il rawther low
down, doncha know, on very i'm
| portant actor in this weeks Orpheum
| bill
| Whether is was the fault of printer,
! house management or proprietor. of
! the sketch is neither here nor there.
| Nor is the motive, be II professional
| jealousy or mere thoughtlessness. The
glaring fact remains that the name
/ of one of the principals of Frederick
| v Bowers and company doesn't ap-
| pear on the program.
| So, unless the Orpheum's press
agent, or perhaps Mr.. Bowers himself,
comes to the rescue whole lot of
/ folks who will go to the vaudeville
| house this week will never, never
| know what to call that character of
! obviously and deucedly English ex-
! traction who slouches to the footlights
now and then. He carries a much
college curved briar pipe in his mouth
and wears a jockey cap and an air OF
! boredom that perhaps isn't so hard to
understand after all. What DO you
! call your bulldog, Mr. Bowers? Or
does he come without calling?
| AS usual the other members of the
| Bowers company made q hit, includ-
ing Mr. Bowers, who sings in his old
time style. Ada Ripel Chats the
lady's name, isn't it, Mr.. Bowers?) is
attractive in a way that grows upon
| one. One sees more of her, too, every
time she comes out. So by the time
| for the final curtain one can wholly
! appreciate her charm. Ada makes her
! last bow in a suit of dark dringe and
| eo-forth-with and-so-forth predomi-
mating.
The real favorites this week, judg-
| ing from the first-night reception, are
! bound to be PAUL. and Boyne, who
/ sing and dance, and Mr.. and Mrs.
f, Arthur Cappelen in a laughable do
mestic comedy called Hiring Maid
| Pretty PAUL. alone makes the act well
worth while. Some food for thought
as well as laughter is dished up in the
| playlet offered by Mr.. Cappelen and
| his very pretty partner.
| Then there Is the Bison City Four
| "a quartet of singers of vocal ability
! too well known to Opportunities to re-
quire much comment. Suffice it to say
| that they sing just as well as ever.
| And that businesslike slap on the face
I of the cop and the tramp, and similar
slap stick stuff always tickles an Or
pheum crowd.
But to hurry along. The Novelty

to all sorts of bird-calls as tried on the
violin and which interested many. and
the Nelson and Whalen troupe of hoop
rollers complete an attractive bill

That's a good thought for the

dog circular. The same idea might
apply to folks.
Sharp County record., 1914-11-27

The terrible tragedy that occurred
at Center, in this county. one day
last week was a much greater
shock to our home people for the
reason that it happened at our very
doors and that it claimed the life
of one of our citizens and endanger-
ed the lives of others. Those who
read the newspapers know that the
same thing and similar things are
happening throughout the country
every day, which means that every
day, somewhere, some are SORROW
ing and cannot be comforted on the
account of tragedy, and that many
innocent are suffering for the sins
of the guilty. That brave citizen
of Sharp county who lost his life at
Center last week was an innocent
victim, and that makes his loss all
the more terrible.
Through this paper Representa-
tive j. M. Street is calling upon the
people of Sharp county to give him
their opinions on public question,
especially the road question, so
that he may be able to, in some
measure at least, reflect the wishes
of his constituents when he gets to
the legislature. Most everybody
realizes at once that the road ques-
tion is serious proposition to the
people and that some remedy
should be brought forth that would
make better roads throughout this
country. What that remedy is
will be a much mooted question,
and in the interest of a satisfactory
solution of the problem we invite
our readers to express themselves
through this paper In fact, the
columns OF the Record have always
been open to those who wish to
advance ideas on public matters,
and we have always felt that our
readers used the paper too little in
this way
