That's even better. Gee! will the

that dance. Isn't that great. Say
don't those Irish tango girls look
nifty? Watch that Hesitation and
look at that gink up there on the
piano. Doesn't that leading lady
look sweet and pipe those nifty
summer girls in bathing suits. Oh
joy!
All this gush of joy, ladies and
gentlemen, formally introduces the
Annual Monday Club Show held
Monday night in the Elks opera
house.
That 1t was a success was attest
ed by the roars of laughter which
filled the theatre, the many smiling
faces, the scores of hands which
grasped their sides in their laugh
ter, the expressions about town yes
terday morning and the general
satisfaction expressed by the men,
bers of the cast that their efforts
had not only been appreciated but
deserved appreciation.
1t was some showl From the
moment the curtain went up on the
garden scene, in which were seated
two score of summary dressed"
young ladies and gentlemen. mar
ried ladies and bubbles, until poor
Bobby Porter, the victim of BIZ
cycle craze left the stage with
moose around the neck, more than
willing to accept his fate, it was
one continuous roar of fun.
The first part of the program
was comprised by an "All-Variety
Show. The plot depicted a week
end party at the country home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Hava Goodtime The
hosts had procured two famous
dancers from the city but they
could not arrive until later in. the
day. The suggestion was offered
and accepted that an impromptu
musical be arranged and that a
number of the guests present par
ticipate. For the next hour and
half fourteen different numbers in
GLIDING ballet dances. unique fea-
lures, dancing specialties, nonolog-
ues (all leading with local people
and incidents) solos, (both instru
mental and vocaD and a witty,
snappy dialogue. were rendered.
The opening prologue took the
crowd in great style. The snappy
tune coupled with the Prescott par
odies went with a vim every inch
of the way. Heidelberg" the next
number OF the program, also rem
dered by the entire chorus drew
several encores. The one fault find |
ing feature OF this number was the
fact that those on the stage were
forced to indulge in a lemonade
toast. Some opposition was offered
by a few but in the end discretion
was given the better part of valor. /.
Eight young ladies and eight 1
"Johnnies" took part in the Parasol /.
Dance. The scene depicted as the
couples flirted to the best of their /
ability and each johnnie" was fin
ally told you look good to me"
was laughable in the extreme.
David Levy drew several encorcs
with a classy cornet solo.
While Mr.. Levy was rendering
his share OF harmony, Mrs. Loss .
and her chorus OF Japanese girls .
were preparing for one of the big
gest hits OF the evening. In de-
lightful voice, Mrs. Loss sang the
two verses of "Cherry Blossom
Time" The entire party" joined .
in the chorus. Six winsome lassies
attired like the hostess, in Japanese
costumes, accompanied the chorus
with classy steps. After the first
chorus, little demure Mile Marks
turned one of the niftiest dances
ever seen on the Elks stage. Mil
lie was CARRIED in a Japanese COS
tune. too. He- steps took her in
and about the pony ballet, the
guests and upon her toes. In short
it was class personiied.
While Morris Miller was singing
Would You Take Me Back Again"
Miss Melita Mead handsomely cos
TUNED and charmingly playing her
part of the girl who won't come
back" walked across the stage with
the spotlight playing upon her.
The encore drew a unique addi-
ton to this act with Lester Ruff
ner supplying the fun. His face
