UNIVERSITY MINSTRELS
AT THE TEMPLE THEATER

The University of Florida Minstrels,
an organization representing our
state university, is billed to appear at
the Temple theater tomorrow night
This show has already made an ex-
tended tour of the southern part of
the state and from all that can be
gathered their appearance has every
where been attended with the great
est success. To quote from the Tam
pa Times:
"The show given by the college boys
was most pleasing in every respect,
and was a pleasant surprise to all.
None of the lax construction usually
attendant to all amateur productions
was noticed in their performance. The
show equalled if not surpassed many
professional organizations of its kind
now on the road"
The st. Petersburg Independent:
"The minstrel proved to be the best
amateur attraction of the season and
better than some of the professional
shows of the same type that have
visited the Sunshine City. The sing
ing by the college boys, especially
that by the male quartet, was excel
lent. The end men actually got
laughs on several jokes, which is good
work for any minstrel man. The ex-
hibition of tumbling by the gym team
was well received, and Colonel Rocks,
the contortionist, would be hard to
improve on"
From this it will be seen that the
people of Ocala have a rare treat in
store for them tomorrow night. A
real minstrel show will be seen in
our city, and everyone with red blood
in their views, those who can appre-
ciate a good hearty laugh, should not
miss the opportunity to see their per-
formance.
Thursday might well be called Uni
versity or Florida Day, for in the aft
ernoon the University ball team will
cross bats with the local aggregation,
in what promises to be one Of the
fastest games seen here in years. The
minstrel parade, the forerunner of
what is to follow in the evening, will
be seen at the ball park Follow the
music and enjoy the day. Let every
one turn out to both attractions and
show the University boys that we
have real live city, able TO appre-
ciate good college entertainment.
The University Minstrel and the
ball team have combined to give
Ocala a real live time. The Universi-
ty Band will be beard at the ball
park and the minstrel men will pa
rade out TO the park at the begin
ming of the game. In return for this
the two ball teams will occupy box
es at the performance at the Temple
Theater that night
Remember the time, Thursday. Tenn

FRIVOLOUS FRANCE"
A Great Nation, Misunderstood, Arises
in Its Might Against Invasion

Gueret, France, April 14.-"Ger-

continued, ga divided, frivolous ma
ton but she met an iron wall against
whose heroic resistance the flower Of
her army was broken. Then behold
the iron wall moved, supple and un-
breakable, toward the western front
crushing little by little the army
whose chiefs were not prepared for
so long and bitter a struggle.
"The French nation, misunderstood
and dispised, has arisen ready to pile
sacrifice on sacrifice with millions in
army preparing for Germany's chas-
tisement. We are certain Of victory
the victory of justice We want Eu-
rope free, Belgium liberated, our lost
provinces restored, Prussian militar-
ism crushed, since the peace Of the
world is irreconcilable with its san
culinary whims. We shall accom-
plish this task with our allies. We
shall write not only in the history Of
France, but in the annals of human
ity a page which our sons viii read
with emotion and pride"
