with Miss Dorothy Pfarr as soloist,
was one of the prettiest numbers given.
See-saws illuminated with electric
globes presented most pleasing spec
tacle., unlike anything seen in Denison
before.
lii Mrs. P. J. Klinker entertained the
g audience with one of her beautiful
whistling solos, which was we'll re-
ceived.
The military chorus, with Miss Mar
iorie Lyon as the Goddess of Liberty,
and Earl Baum as Uncle Sam, was
most novel and the. drill was we'll exc
cuted. Il ,tZrs
E. R. Adle thrilled the audience with
his wonderful balancing and Juggling
feats, and on the second night added
a difficult buck and wing dance. which
was enthusiastically encOred.
The Palm Beach chorus, featuring
Chester Schlumberger, was very
catchy. The chorus was MADE up OF
the following: Martha Lehfeldt, Luz
ellie Rollins, Elizabeth Wearmouth'
Maurine Hamley, Margaret Aebischer'
Alta Schafer, Delphine Coan, Edna
Portz, Guy Schwartzenbach, Orls SUIT
er Charles Richards and John Norris.
The aesthetic dance by Miss Rather
in Sims created much favorable COM
ment, Miss Sims was most graceful
and gave the people Of Denison an ldea
of the dances which are meeting with
such success in every part OF the
country.
Tie biggest feature of the entertain
ment was left until the last, and when
the curtain was finally rung down the
audience was in an uproar OF laugnter'
Il had been announced that hand'
some cup would be awarded to the
connie present which could dance the
best, and Mr. Tourtellot announced
the rules of the contest and invited
those in the audience to take part. Al.
ter great deal of persuasion, but not
until after the double plated tin cup
was exhibited, several couples IN the
audience entered the contest. Mr..
Frank Pfarr and Mrs. G. l.. Casweil,
dressed in their best bibs and fuckers
rushed down the center aisle and up
onto the stage. w. E. Terry and MRS.
Hugo Gebert also decided to enter the
contest fearing that the couple from
Deloit might take the beautiful cup
ont of town. C. L. Voss, who had
prominent seat in the gallery, was per-
suaded to try his luck in. the contest.
M Voss was dressed for the occasion,
wearing a flaming red tie. Mrs. w. w.
Ferguso was called from the audi
arce for his partner. Mr.. Chas. Bollen
and MRS. Geo. Sprecher also entered
the contest. It would be impossible to
describe the several dances as danced
nv the different candidates. Inc
swat a Minute" waltz and the Limp
ing Duck" were portrayed IN true
stv,e and had Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon
Castle been present they woula nave
left with many pointers. After uanc,

The ladies Of the Eastern Star are
tn be congratulated upon the success
of the entertainment which required
considerable work and patience on
their part. With the talent there Y IN
Denison home talent productions
should be given oftener for we believe
that the people would much prefer
spending their money for home talent
attractions than for the class OF shows
that are brought to Denison by the op'
era house.
