Leroy "Lasses" White, the Dallas
~favorite. and Eddie Ross, the "Af-
rican harp manipulation, took the
house by storm and were compelled
to respond to encore after encore.
In fact every soloist was recalled
anywhere from three to six times
for chorus repetitions.
The entire show was one to de-

Minstrel grouping, the most striking
feature of which was the settings.
"A Box Done Up In a Neat Package"
was the way it was labeled on the
program. The title proved very APP

in an unusually clear and high tenor
voice with a pleasing nicely of shad-

J. Lester Haberkorn won instant
approval with his offering, "In the

Steven Werner was the first of the

sang "Natchez and the Robert f.

his presentation co~mmendable.
Eddie Ross tickled the banjo as

and his offering, both in the minstrel
part proper and in the olio, kept the
house in an uproar.
Neil O'Brien still has the faculty
of pleasing, despite the fact that he
is not young-either in voice oil

Fair Weather.

"Fair today" said the morning pa
per, and you started blithely on the
picnic, only to find that clouds soon
covered the sky and cast shadow
over your spirits, besides spelling the
prospects for snapshots. Then you
hurled imprecations, perhaps, ut the
weather man. But, hold on--maybe he
wasn't so much at fault as you think.
We learn that "fair," as used by the
weather bureau, does not necessarily
mean blue sky and sunshine. Strictly
speaking 1t is applied to "a period
without rainfall in excess of O01 inch,"
and sis used In forecasts solely to de-
note the expected absence of measur-
