TWELVE BIG ACTS IN A VARIED

FOR TWO HOURS.
LAST SAT. AT HIGH SCHOOL
Vaudeville Show q Feature of the
County Fair-Gymnasium Fitted
up as Fair Grounds.

The County Fair at the high school
last Saturday enjoyed good patronage
from the school patrons of the COM
munity, who are always good supper
tiers of anything for school benefit, and
the returns from the entertainment
were good. Saturday evening the
weather was very, very cold, but not
withstanding large crowd gathered in
the auditorium to enjoy the vaudeville
show.
There were several headliners on the
bill, which consisted of twelve big acts,
some of which were entirely as good as
legitimate vaudeville offerings. And
in making this statement we do not re-
fer to the real professionals in the per-
Torrance but some of the amateurs
ways be said about the Grangeville
anything it undertakes.
Mcmahon, who donated his services
in two acts, one slack wire walking and
The other balancing, is professional
and both of his acts would be a credit
to any vaudeville bill. He captured
the audience who appreciated his work

visiting his parents at Clearwater and
the high school was fortunate in get
ting his to assist in the program.
The first act on the bill was Japan
ese setting, and Miss May Laningham
sang an appropriate number and was
assisted in the act by 8 boys and s
girls in Japanese costumes. Miss Ian
ingham has pleasing and effective
aa@
sons and Louis Pearson next appeared
in Dutch costumes, with the essential
wooden shoes, and pleased with as APP
propriate musical number, Katherine
vas going to be Mine. - The slack wire
act followed.
"Homer the Grate,o magician and
master of ledgerdemain, in the person
OF Homer Eimers, baIlled the eye with
deceptive tricks, the feature of the act
being burlesque on slight of hand.
The act was good. Homer had as his
assistant, William Mckinley Gregg.
"a Bit of Irish followed, and this
number was contributed by Mrs. M. r.
Hattabaugh. This act had color and
real merit. 1t could really be classed
as headliner in vaudeville. It pleased
because it was original. It was origi-
nal because in the music and the lines
there was something that was real and
appealing Mrs. Hattabaugh deserves
great praise for her work.
OF course the vaudeville fan expects
little song and dance and black face
work, and Denny Howard and Roby
Lovelace in "Black and White,o and
John Long and Roy Gillett, the" Prai-
RE Twins, furnished this end of the
bill with success that won applause.
They furnished some good, hearty
laughs. Fifteen students in Pyramids
did some gymnasium stunts that were
appreciated.
Two strong men, John Long and Roy
Gillette, dressed decollete, in gym suits
filled the audience with awe in some
strong men stunts, burlesque, but good
"Pyrmus and Thisbyo farce, was ex.
EXCEPTIONALLY good and the work of those
| who appeared in this act was very
pleasing. Andrew Stockton played the
part of the wall, Jim Yates appeared
as the hero, Pyrimus; Dewey Yates
elucidated; Frank Atwood played the
part of the moon; Gaylord Eimers the
part of the lion and Miss Gene McGhie
tht part of the heroine, Thisby. The
latter young lady did some work that
merits special mention and praise. The
entire group were good.
