"Pantomime Is one of those profess

years she was in vaudeville as "A male

and rapidly became the rage OF the sea-

favorable an impression that she was
asked by other amateur clubs TO re-

About year or two later she was
approached by vaudeville agent to do
the same work professionally. and for
the first few years of her stage career she
never appeared in anything but trous-

satisfied with the results Of what she
regarded as u narrow environment. She
made many frutless attempts to break

her early successes seemed to have

dinner was not as good as il
would have been had the chicken
pox let US alone for the last two
weeks. However, the children
rendered their parts well con-
sidering their chance After the
program we had one of those
fine dinners spread before US
which only Pioneer women are
noted for giving Everyone
present seemed to enjoy the din
ner immensely. The T. @. H. S.
base ball boys came out and took
dinner with US. It must not
have agreed with them from the
way they played ball. We guess
you heard about the game? 1t
seems like Big Greek got off on
the right foot and the High
School didn't, as Big Greek lead
at the close of the first inning by
a score of 6 to O. We can't figure
o u t what excuses the High
School boys can give for not
beating US. as we think the UNI
pire was fair to both sides; all
the excuse we can see for them
is that they just weren't there
with the goods. The final score
of the game was 10 to 1 in favor
of Big Greek. After the ball
game several of the boys tried a
few athletic sports but all of
them were too weak to do their
best. However, Robert Blakely
won the half mile race over Ed
Cass of T. Q. H. s., who the day
before won 1st prize at the track
meet at Russell. This speaks
well for Robert and the race was
one of the most interesting events
after the game. We Judge there
was somewhat over 200 in atten-
dance and everyone went home
feeling tired but glad that they
had beeu there.
