ElkS

Commencing with Monday evenings performance the Ed Redmond Musical Comedy company will present at the Elks theater for the entire week, the new and brilliant musical potpurri, Her Second Honeymoon" During it's presentation in New York last season it was termed by a prominent critic as whale" of a show, the story be- ing one of the funniest ever conceived and the interpolated song numbers staged on a scale noted for lavishness and rarely attempted outside of Zeigfield Follies production. I'd Red mond will appear in the star comedy role that of an errant husband who in duces his wife to divorce him and then has cause to repent his action when he is able to match her worth against the professional correspondent who becomes madly infatuated with the man that she has assisted in gaining q ticket over the Liberty railroad via Reno.
 Myrtle Dingwal will appear in the role of the wife who elopes with her husband; Marvin Hammond will be seen as her friend who thinks that di- Vorce court proceedings the greatest kind of a lark; Joe Kemper as the
 
 complications and Minor Reed. Robbie Deane, Evelyn Koenig, new member of the Redmond forces along with the remaining principal players and the bevy of singing and dancing maids will all aid materially in making the pro duction of Her Second Honeymoon" a most noteworthy affair.
 The jazz orchestra will prove big feature of the production as will the score of rattling song and dance crea- tons many of them being introduced Tor the first time west of Broadway. Two massive stage settings will be used in staging Her Second Honey moon and this combined with the smart costume creations. special cleo trical effects and other special inno- vations will tend to make the presenta- ton d mastodonic affair.
 Her Second Honeymoon will run throughout the entire week with ma tinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
