Saturday night at the Gem young
man worked out an act in vaudeville
at his special request, says the Filler
Journal. The manager of the theatre
has always been generous in com
plying with requests from people who
thought they had a calling for the
stage. and has been disappointed more
than once with the results. People are
kindly disposed towards amateurs
when they know them personally but
when a stranger drops in, falls down,
they are not so kindly disposed Sat
urday night the act was so rotten that
the actor was prevented from finish
ing his stunt We do not blame them
in this instance, although to us the
act was so bad that it was really
funny. The attitude that the fellow
struck after each verse was so funny
that you would laugh until you cried,
but it didn't strike the audience that
way. Vaudeville, at the very best, is
hard proposition to get by with in
Filler audience, and so far as the
Gem is concerned, will have a hard
time in the future to get a date.
The invitation dance given by the
Masons and Eastern Stars last Tues
day evening was responded to by
more people than any previous social
bail given by the societies 1t seems
to be the general opinion of those at
tending that a better time was enjoy
ed than usual. Refreshments were
served in the Masonic hall cafeteria
style, while the dance proceeded. 1t
was a very late hour when the last
of the merry throng let loose, and
the married people seemed as loath to
quit as the younger set. A large dele
cation was down from Twin Falls
among those being present were DR.
Pike and wife, Chas. Ormsby and wife
H. o. Brown and wife, H. L. Austin
Mesdames Wilson, M. G. Ripley, +
McAllister, and daughter, Cleva and
Mr.. Ray Brown.
After the Firemen's ball Thursday
evening, a well known Sucker Flat
boy attempted to elope with a Twin
Falls girl. His Case car carried them
a mile past Curry when it ceased to
be interesting and refused to move
farther. They tempered with the car
but it would not fulfill their expecta-
tions and move. Finally tired of fool
ing, he, with his partner, walked to
Twin Falls. Their ardor cooled, as
they walked along the rough highway
and was down to such a low degree
the would-be-elopers awoke some OF
their used-to- be-neighbors, and the
son of the family, with his Ford" tool
the unlucky pair to the girls home
! near the sugar factory, where heI
mother, almost distracted with worry
awaited anxiously for the party, who
had gone in search of her.
Last Friday night Rev. James E
Leitch of the Methodist church insti-
tuted what will be the beginning of e
series of get-together meetings. He
admits he was experimenting but that
the splendid program and luncheon
prepared and served by the Ladies
Aid proved such an inducement that
it attracted a large crowd, we al
know. Both the auditorium and the
Sunday school room were filled and
the ladies had to hustle to serve 2U(
plates. AS the church filled rapidly
and early, the program started or
time with a number from the higf
school orchestra. Mr.. Pease has de-
veloped an orchestra among the
school that would be credit to a
large city high school.
Evangelistic meetings are in prog
ress at the Baptist church. We are
expecting Rev. Ward, but Rev. Mills
is here instead. Mr.. Mills is a strong
| evangelist. He had an appointment
to hold meetings in Salt Lake, but o.
account of the coal shortage there
came here
