CABERET DELIGHT DINERS
At THE BIG BANQUET

Mexico enjoyed its first hOnest-iniun
professional cabaret Saturday night
when the Mexico United Commercial
Travellers and the riembers Of the
local post Of the Travellers Prosec-
tive Association gave their annual
banquet in the Ringo Hotel. Two
professional artists of this Arabian
Night scheme of divertisment accom-
panied by whirlwind pianist were
imported from st. Louis to enliven the
occasion and act as lyric substitutes
for the usual feast of reason and
flow of souln. offered by various re-
plies to sundry toasts.
From 8:15 when the banqueters
were startled by one Of the waters
breaking into song as he attended the
guests until II o'clock when amid an
ENHANCEMENT of serpentine confetti
they stood to sing America and Auld
Lang Syne, the hours hurried rap
idly past and brought most delight
full occasion to what seemed an early
ending.
The banquet room was tastily decor
ated in the colors of the two organ
y.
Iizations draped in festoons from the
ceiling to the several pillars in the
room. The tables had vases filed with
beautiful roses whose colors blended
with the many handsome toilets worn
by the lady guests present.

Lawrence and his assistant Glover
Wells had served to efficiently was
most delicious

The courses were interpersed with
musical numbers. The singers were
.
well known st. Louis cabaret enter
tainers. The man had splendid BARI
tone voice and his singing Of comedy
numbers made great hit. The wo-
man also possessed a baritone voice, q
decided novelty, and was exceptionally
. well received each time.
Toward the latter part of the even.
ing sheets containing the choruses Of
the various songs were given the
guests and they joined in the choruses
It was delightful to hear Dan Dudley's
clear mezzo-soprano voice blending
harmoniously with Frank Kelso's alto
Roy PEARLS lyric tenor rose high above
Ed Keath's heavy bass wherever 3
barber shop cord was attainable.
Everyone enjoyed ever feature Of
the evening except Sam Morris. Mr.
Morris expressed one regret and thai
was because he did not have an op
