DADDY LONG LEGS" COMPANY
WILL CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY
ANNIVE RSARY TONIGHT ON
THE STAGE.

George Allison, who plays the role
of Daddy Long Legs" at the Robi-
son opera house tonight, will cele-
brate a birthday anniversary tonight
on the stage after the last fall of
the curtain. Just what number the
birthday anniversary is, was not sta
impertinent enough to ask, but Daddy
Long Legs is tall and handsome He
has the long legs just about such
as one can imagine the little girl
saw in the boarding school and his
appearance indicates that this is
about his 25th birthday
A fine looking birthday cake has
been prepared and the proper number
of candles have been provided and
many good things have been pre-
pared for the occasion. Manager
Robson is providing every convent
ence for the company and a very
pleasant dining is being looked for
ward to. The company consists of
twenty-three persons,-a sufficient
number to make happy party, and
Mr.. Allison is very popular with every
member and they will enter into his
celebration with much zest. Since
the company left New York, the birth
day anniversaries of Marion Coakley
and Kate Blancke have been cele-
brated in a similar way, and the
celebration tonight is expected to be
fully as pleasant as the other two
were.
Lodewick Vroom, manager of the
company, is delighted with the out
look here, and says the local stage
will give the company splendid op-
portunity for the use of its scenery.
The scenery is the same that the
company used in its production of the
play in New York City. The scenery
fills 70-foot car which the company
carries.
Henry Miller, who is the managing
Henry Miller who is the managing
producer with the company insists
that all his companies shall carry on

That was the spirit which pervaded
the ceremonies held yesterday after.
noon at the Elks Home in this city.
Few were the eyes that could re-
press a nascent tear that welled up
with the thought of those, departed.
But joy came to those same eyes with
the strains of "One Sweetly, Solemn
Thought"
Rev. Welsh of the Methodist Epis-
copal church delivered the afternoons
address, choosing for his theme the
Providence of our Republic" His ad-
dress was based upon the two prin-
ciples which form the foundation of
Elkdom,- "Our Flag" and "The Bi-
ble,' and was a most eloquent oration
Judge Champions "eulogy" devot-
ed to the memory of the Elks who
are gone but not forgotten" and es-
pecially to the memory of w. A. VIM
bish, who was the only one whom
the Elks laid to his last rest during
the past year, was a beautiful tribute
to the departed an expression of ap-
probation from one man for another,
that could not be surpassed.
The musical part of the program in
cluded solos by Mrs. n. C. Wood, Mrs.
+. h. Guillot and Mr.. Won Nordheim,
and a solo and quartet by Mrs. Bur
rows, Mrs. Guillot, Mr.. Haines and
Mr.. Won Nordheim, all of which were
eXcellentIy rendered,
Mrs Frederick Goden-H -Howes played
the violin obligatos beautifully, and
Miss Anne Thompson, as accompanist,
together with Miss Ernestine Guillot,
acquitted herself in her usual artistic
manner.
The entire service was under the
charge of Mr.. Jno. T. Nichols, Past
Exalted Ruler.
The local Elks lodge was organized
in 1902. The roll of deceased mem
bers includes the names of twenty
persons, and of that number only one,
George II. Webb, was Past Exalted
