Frazer's White Palace" theatre
was christened Tuesday night, Feb
ruary % (Washington's birthday, in
a manner both unique and surprising.
The theatre was packed with people
who expected to pay for their admis-
sion. the turnout being wonderful,
considering the murky. muddy wealth
er, and cold besides. Without par
ticle Of advertising, by dodgers and
posters or public print, the people
swarmed about the build
ing like bees, and on presenting their
to Manager Frazer at the box
office for tickets, We're met by a
genial smile and their tickets. but the
money was refused. Manager Frazer
saying, I'VE don't want your money
tonight, you are welcome, this is
Washington's birthday, admission
free. The people were almost paraly-
zed by the shock and surprise and at
first could not understand it, for a
similar incident was never known In
the history of Warsaw as far as the
oldest inhabitant can recollect. The
films shown were fine and greatly
pleased, and the music played by
John Furtney on q handsome and
beautiful toned upright piano, kept in
touch with the scenes depicted, vary
ing from grave to gay. from lively to
serene Manager Frazer took no one
into his confidence as to making the
house free that night, and it was
of genuine pleasure that he
could make happy the hearts Of his
500 friends present. He deserves the
thanks Of this community for his open
hearted generosity.
The 500 club met with Mr.. and Mrs
Hy Ferris, Tuesday night, and an en-
toyable evening was spent, the attend
ance being excellent in spite of the
weather.
Mrs. J. B. Dodge has been very I'll
for the past eight weeks, but IS now
slowly improving.
Washtngton's birthday was better
than usual, and there were
more flags displayed than on Ltncoln's
birthday. The joint Lincoln and
Washington social at the Little Brick
on Fourth street, was not as largely
attended as it should have been; this
fact was due partly because of the
weather There was a fine program,
address by Rev. A. H. Mcconnell of
the M. E. church, and music by the
Warsaw orchestra.
Konrad Bernhard shipped one car
of cattle and one car of hogs to Chi.
cago on Tuesday morning; this makes
three shipments of two cars each.
