A DELIGHTFUL PLAY
''The Court of King Cole' Proves
Itself an Extravaganza of
the Very First Order. ....
Participants in the Cast All Perfect
in Their Parts and Orches-
trail Music Excellent.

sThe Court of King Cole" an ex-
travaganza put on at the armory on
Friday and Saturday evenings for the
benefit of the local Red Cross chapter,
under the direction of Harriet Purdy
Smith, was one of the most delightful
which has been staged here for many
months. In consequence of the severe
ly cold weather the attendance was
not as large as anticipated, although
on Saturday night the audience was Of
a fairly good size.
1t was an all-local talent show, the
cast Of characters being of considera-
bic length, hence, to particularize as to
the Individual merits of those who
took part would consume an enormous
amount of space-more than is avail
able at this time. So all that can
be done is to treat the play from a gen.
eral standpoint. To say that it was
excellent from beginning to end-that
every character was splendidly rep
resented-covers the ground. From
"'King Cole' to the Spanish girls, spe-
cialty girls, sheperdesses, Indian
maids, Indian braves and college boys,
all performed admirable work, and
the orchestra was composed of must
clans Of merit.
AS to the Stage settings and cos
tunes they were fascinatingly gor-
geous in their brilliancy-the scenes
being set in a virtual fairyland, OF
garden of the gods.
Applause greeted every act and ev.
cry participant, and it was obviously
we'll merited.
While the Red Cross cleared neat
little sum ($94.O0) from the play, il
is to be regretted that the amount is
not two-fold, as the chapter is greatly
in need of funds to carry on it's work.
The ladies of the Civic club are de.
serving Of the full credit for making
this entertainment possible, and the
various members Of the chorus, par.
ticularly the leading characters, merit
warm praise for the generous gift Of
time and effort necessary to make The
affair a complete success.

Butcher Shop Quilted.

Shortly after IL o'clock last night
the Sjoblon & Blocker butcher. shop
was discovered to be on fire-the Sec
ond time in the period of few weeks.
The interior Of the shop was prac-
tically Quilted, and had it not been for
the ready response Of the fire depart
ment the building would doubtless
have been destroyed. AS upon the
former occasion the fire originated
from a stovepipe in an inner room.
1t would not surprise us to at any
time see the nest of tinderboXes in that
locality go up in smoke.

committee was a prefunctory perfor-
nance, innocently, but carelessly done,
by the members voting.
It is not often that the mass permits
the little group to trick them into
SO raw deal as this, but they are open
to such trickery at any time.
The mass, however, does not need to
stay tricked in this case. Congress is
again in session and amendment can
be made easily.

The winter freeze is here and this
means that thousands Of the lit

warmer cline for the season will en-
counter great difficulty in eking out
an existence. Then why not come to
the rescue by casting the crumbs from
your table to the little fellows who
sing to you from the treetops in the
glorious springtime? They would ap-
preciate it and it would be an act of
charity on your part. 5
