ELK OPERETTA| IS
SUCCESS Of SEASON
Girls" From Carlisle Gave Harris
burg Women Pointers on the
Latest Things From Paris

Efks from Carlisle at the Majestic
theater last night offered George
Brady's Dream" a ragtime operetta
in three acts, that proved without
question. the most original and one
of the best amateur productions ever
given in Harrisburg. A large and ap-
preciative audience applauded the
many interesting features, and voted
the offering a big success.
Another large audience witnessed
this afternoons matinee bill. Tonight
the closing perfoi nance will be given,
the sale of seats indicating another
crowded house. On Friday night the
Carlisle Elks will entertain Williams
port Elks and their friends at the
Lycoming theater in that city. They
will be accompanied to Williamsport
on their special train by many Har-
risburg Elks
George Brady is a native of Harris
burg. and is as popular here as in
Carlisle. As dreamer he Is big
success, especially when his dream is
put to music. 1t tells a story of a
minstrel troup starting at Carlisle,
stranding in the cowboy country, and
finally being received back home by
a wealthy woman of Carlisle, after
money is advanced to get the down
and out minstrel company to the Cum
berland Valley college town again.
The dream offers plenty of oppor-
tunity for many songs and for rich
costuming and scenery, and there GER
tainly was nothing lacking in this di-
rection. The elaborate gowns worn
by the girls" in the last act were
of Paris design, and brought much
favorable comment. The tango dances
were gracefully executed, and the
moving picture features, showing the
departure from Carlisle of the min
strel comlany, was quite original.
The entire production is under the
direction of Leo Mcdonald who wrote
the book and arranged the music and
songs. George Brady made typical
minstrel manager. and had some good
songs, as did "Scotty' Cook the for
mer Tech High football coach; Eddie
O'Donnell, Ike Mack, Sass" Harris
and "Bucky" Adams. Real singing
was done by Jimmy and Johnny"
Carroll. DR.. Behney. James Beetem,
Fat" Coughman, "Archy' Ruggles
and Hugh Miller. The latter as Mrs.
Daisy Debris, was the one big hit in
,, the female impersonations. Mr.. Mil
Ter is Carlisle newspaperman.
There were many encore song num-
bers which prolonged the performance
until u late hour. The Nursery
Rhymes" chorus led by Johnny
Carroll was costumed in an attractive
manner. During one of his songs
George Brady was presented with a
large bouquet of roses and carnations.
Director Mcdonald was also highly
praised.
Mcdonald, who directed the show
from the orchestra pit, is member
of the Carlisle lodge of Elks and plays
regularly in the Majestic theater or
chestra. His talent for productions
like that of last night will no doubt
take him some day into that kind of
work along professional lines.

phyicians seldom see cold case in its
early stages was brought out in the
talk given last night by DR.. Norman

advised people when they feel a cold
coming on to take hot bath and to
stay in bed or indoors for twenty-f four
hours.
