AUDITORIUM THEATRE

Raised the ante last night; S11
people heard that little old singer,
George Schmidt take 6 encores. Oh,
you, George. Had a travelling man
come out after seeing the show last
night. He said: THAT sure is great
music in there, but think Mont
gomery's six piece orchestra in Tam
pa has it beat" Now amt that
shame. We didn't think there was
anything in Europe, the United
States or Australia had anything
on us. We should worry. We've got
to take a trip to Tampa some day
and see how they do it. Well, we
are glad to see the appreciation
shown our good pictures, so We are
going to hand you a bunch of live
ones tonight. \
