SURE GOING TO
...... BE SOME SHOW
"Hub" Davis Wears Out More
Chair Rounds and Chorus is
Coming StrOnger'n Ever

Coming Str0nger'n Ever
The longer we live the more we find
by golly out. The further prepara-
ton for the Commercial club min
strel show goes the bigger she gets.
Why, say, she's going to be hummer
"a regular 42-centimeter affair. Last
weeks attempt didn't tell half the
story. For instance, Joe Martin was
omitted. Now, Joe should have been
Swede instead Of barber, but his
career was spoiled by accident. He is
going to tell just how it happened and
what might have been had his name
really been Ole Olsen and then he is
going to sing song.
Jay Long insists that he didn't get
into the show just to keep Frank Bent
ley company, but that he is a real star
in his own right and that nobody, not
even Bentley, has mortgage on his
vocal accomplishments.
One of the great big features of the
show was entirely overlooked last
week. Doc Spaulding and George
Rowe are going to do a stunt. just
/, what kind of stunt is not being ad-
vertised, but it's some sort Of a love
scene full of heart throbs and other
things.
! Under threat Of blackmail the man
agement has given the editor permis-
sion to inflict himself upon the public.
Just what he is going to do neither
he nor anybody else knows. He will
be expected to consume a little (littler
the better) time on the program and
to act natural or otherwise make a
fool of himself.
!. During the week "Hub" Davis has
worn out three more chair rounds and
he says the chorus is showing up
stronger than 9-year-old Bourbon
whatever that it). Oh, no, he didn't
use the chair rounds. on the singers
he just used them like bush Lacquer
uses baseball bat,
| Seriously tho, those who attend the
show Monday evening will have the
opportunity Of hearing three of the
best male voices ever heard in Kenne-
wick. Ray VanHorn and Raymond
Metz, of Spokane, have accepted the
invitation of A. C. Hall to come to
! Kennewick and take part in the show
These three men for several years
sang together in trio in Spokane and
Mr.. VanHorn and Mr.. Metz are still
! considered among Spokane's best vo
calists. Not only will all three sing
in the chorus Monday evening but
they will appear in trio as one Of the
features Of the second half of tn,
). show. The two Spokane men will prob
ably arrive Saturday night and if 81
will sing at both morning and evening
services in some of the local churches
, AS a forerunner to the show biz
street parade is to be pulled off Mon
day noon. Then the wild stamped,
for tickets will begin. The manage
ment has laid in big supply and ther
) promises to be almost as many ticket
5 as there are loose four-bit pieces.
For fear the people might not b
, given their moneys worth Monda,
. night, w. R. Crawford went out thi
5 afternoon and permitted nearly all o
the city's business and professions
t men to put their ads on the officia
program. The opportunity afforded t
read these ads will alone be worth tn
: price of admission. To read some Q
= these ads will be a rare opportunit
j (iust how rare nobody knows quit
: so well as we'uns).
e Tt is sure going to be some show
e Come early. There will be no re
e served seats and empty ones are e
ing to be mighty scarce. y -tIf..N
