COMEDY SKETCH IS FEATURE
Various Numbers Prove of High Order
and Hold Close Attention of
Audience.

One of the most pleasing entertain
ments of the season in ~Grangeville was
the concert given by the Cowboy band,
Friday evening, in Odd Fellows hall.
Before a packed house, the Grange
vile band boys played for more than
two hours, the program ranging from.
popular selections to the classical. The
musical program, divided into two parts,
was broken by an intermission, during
which a comedy sketch, entitled,
." Happy, Though Married, was put on
by Harold Harris, Wallace CriddleI
baugh and Will Hartman. The sketch
provoked much laughter. MIR. Harris
especially scored numerous hits in has
part as a comedian, and by two songs.
Long Boy" and America, | Love
You, Ny Yankee Land Basil HAMS
played the piano accompaniment.
Each Feature in Itself.
Each of the numerous musical selec-
ions was a feature in itself, and drew
forth much applause from the audience.
One feature that was especially amusingk
was the burlesque by }. Frank Sim$
and III. H. Miller, director of the and
Mr.. Sims, whose ability as IA musician
was somewhat doubted by the audience,
appeared on the stage alone and am.
nounced he would play a cornet solo.
He proceeded to play but when he
was about to conclude his part of the
entertainment, a screen on the stage
was upset. Behind the screen sat Mr..
Miller, playing a cornet. He was the
actual player, while Mr.. Sims was
merely an impostor.
A violin solo by Dale Fulton, accom-
panied on the piano by his sister, Miss
Lallah Fulton, was declared by music
lovers to have been exceptionally
well played and to have revealed must
cal talent of high order.
Another number of unusual merit was
the brass quartet, composed of Ii. III.
Miller, %cornet; Ed Abramson, baritone;
III. S. McCurley, trombone, and c.. L..
Jones, tuba. After playing two selee-
tions, the members of tAe quartet, as an
encore, exchanged Instruments, and
n played on the borrowed horns almost as
readily as on their own
