MINSTREL SHOW
FOR RED CROSS
Young Men of Northeastern Phil
adelphia to Give Entertainment
This Evening

Patriotic efforts in aiding the Red Cross
need not necessarily be confined to knitting
or sewing alone, for there still remains
another way, namely, giving entertain
ments for the cause, and there is great
deal of this.
1t would be not impossible, but quite
improbable, for the young men to congre-
gate at the Tuesday or Thursday afternon
knitting clubs, not to mention, in most
cases. the inefficient results of their efforts.
For every one admits that the young men
are not quite so adept with needle or a
sewing machine as with song or
dance.
There Is a group of young men in the
Northeastern section Of the G. tv whose pa
triotic zeal has prompted them to aid this
wonderful Red Cross organization, as re-
SUIT OF which they will give a minstrel
show this evening under the aus
pices of Auxiliary No 17s at Diss-
ton Hall, East Cumberland and Cedar
streets, the proceeds of which will be
turned over to the Red Cross. This min
strel show Is not a new endeavor on the
part of these young men, for 1t is an an
nual affair given for a number of years
past So to judge from past perform
