WERE WELL RECEIVED

The Watermelon Jubilees gave a
very catchy program at the Church
Of Christ last Saturday evening TO a
full house Of interested people They
varied their program with enough
humor to make ii interesting at all
times. and YET rendered several beauti-
ful sacred selections. The personnel
Of the company was changed, by the
addition of three new members from
what II was last April when the Water
melon Jubilees made their first ap-
pearance here. The change did not
detract from the character of the en-
tertainment and in fact many people
who heard both entertainments say
that the last one surpassed the former
a great deal
The entertainment was given under
the auspices OF the Berean Brother
hood of the church. A nice profit
was realized.

STAR THEATRE WILL
RUN HISTORICAL FILM

ON next Wednesday evening, jan
uary 20 the Star Theatre will show a
historical drama entitled The Birth
Of the Star Spangled Banner" a
short history Of how this great national
anthem OF the United States happened
TO be written by Francis Scott Key
is given below
1t was just about one hundred years
ago that the national anthem of the
United States came into eXistance.
When the combined military and
naval forces OF the British were
threatening Washington during the
fall OF 1914, President Madison, fear
ing for the safety of the Declaration
of Independence, sent il, in the care
of Captain Potter. his aide, TO the
commandant of Fort McHenry at
Baltimore.
On his way TO Baltimore, Potter
stopped at the house Of Or. Beanes.
While they were at dinner, a British
reconnoitering party consisting OF
General Ross and his aides, invested
the house. Potter and Helen Beanes
took refuge behind a secret panel in
the dining room. From this position,
Potter heard General Ross say that
Baltimore would be attacked by land
and sea within two days To save DR..
Beanes from torture when the Cap
tain's hat was discovered, Potter
jumped from his hiding place, and.
after holding the British officers at
the point OF his pistol escaped. DR..
Beanes was taken aboard the British
cartel ship while Potter delivered his
mission and warning OF the British at
tack TO the commandant of Fort Nc
Henry.
Helen Beanes appealed to President
Madison to help her father, and the
President sent one Of his aides. and a
certain Francis Scott Key to interview
Admiral Cockburn. Admiral Cock
burn agreed to release the doctor, but
insisted that both Americans should
remain aboard the cartel ship MIN
den" until the forthcoming battle was
over.
SO Key was forced to watch the
long bombardment of Fort McHenry
throughout the long night.
THE rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there"
But toward morning the fire Of the
fort slackened, and Key feared II had
surrendered. His feelings when the
first rays of the sun fell on the flutter-
ing flag are embodied in the great
song he wrote for his country.
