VAUDEVILLE BILL
GIVEN BY SOLDIERS
LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS THE
CAMP SHELBY BOYS AT
S. d. LEE HIGH SCHOOL.

A vaudeville entertainment was
given in the auditorium of the

peared at the Industrial Institute

aggregations were greeted by large
audiences and numerous courtesies
were extended the soldiers during
their stay here.
The crowd which greeted the
vaudeville artists at the Stephen D.
D. Lee High School completely fill
ed the spacious auditorium and the
splendid entertainment was thor
oughly enjoyed. While the enter
tainment was given wholly by soldiers
from Camp Shelby, one fair Colum-
bian was seen on the stage, Miss
Frances Woodward having appeared
as a Red Cross nurse and having
presented a most charming figure,
the piquant costume which she wore
having added materially to her pris-
tine loveliness.
One of the pleasing features Of
the program was the violin solo rem
dered by Master Harry Rinehart, the
boy violinist. He played with tech
nique exceedingly rare in one so
young, and won merited applause
from the audience. Other artists
on the program who won applause
