Gayety-HA whIrI of Pleasure"


John G. Jermon. famous director of
burlesque attractions. comes close to
staging his masterpiece in "The NIL
lion Dollar Dolls" that opened to two
crowded houses in the performances
at the Gayety Theater yesterday. This
talented company presents "A Whirl
of Pleasure" in two acts and twelve
scenes that surpasses anything that
has been shown to date in the local
burlesque world.
Headed by Cliff Bragdon! the popu-
lar comedian. this company brings
forth some of the best talent, both in
punching over the musical comedy
and speciaIties, that are equal to any
vaudeville act or classics that have
been offered the public this season.
Ed Dunbar in the main supporting
roles of comedy shot across the light
by Bragdon, makes a great partner
as this team of funnakers that hand
out wallop after wallop on "Mr.
Gloom" James Peack. in the straigh,
lines, and Harold Carr. a clever
singer. handle their parts In a bril-.
liant manner.
Miss EIDE Mae. the California prima
donna, contributes brilliantly to the
many musical numbers, while Miss
Josephine Turner. as the soubrette
and Miss Norma Barry. ingenue, keeI
their audience awaiting for new songs
and dancing skits. "a Whiri of Pleas
ure" is a plotless comedy that gives
the entire company ample time and
opportunity to display their talent.
Dunbar and Turner, in an eccen-
trio speciality. took the house by
storm while Miss EIDE Mae and
Brasdon and Carr. also scored big
hits in their drop curtain acts. Tom
Gillen with his mythical pal 'Gilla-
gan" more than pleased the patrons

Everybody Of the female species
who goes into the movies today yearns

FRANKS WILL BE FIRST

Beginning at l O'Clock tomorrow,
Franks store viii commence its week
ly half holidays for the summer. Most
of the other stores would like to fol-
low the laudable example. At its last
meeting the Woman's Club passed a
resolution in favor of the early begin
ming of the summer holiday, and a
large majority of the members, who
are in sympathy with the women and
girl clerks, have resolved to do no
shopping on Thursday afternoons. No
doubt that public sentiment favors
beginning the half holiday at once IN
stead of waiting until nearly half the
summer is gone.

six weeks since the terrific struggle
began, the Germans have pushed their
lines forward a few miles, but they
have lost men in uncounted thousands.
The further they go, the slower and
the more costly their progress. The
Allies never lose position until it is
paid for with huge price of Teuton
dead, and then they fall back, seldom
more than a few hundred yards, to
another position just as strong. Of
course the Allies lose men, but not
near so many as the enemy Mean.
time, shipload after shipload of our
men are crossing the sea to fill the
gaps in the ranks of our friends. The
prospects are that the battle will con-
tinue for weeks or months AS to
whether the deadlock, now nearly four
years old, on the western front must
remain unbroken until America can
send enough men over to break it, or
the Allies now have somewhere re-
serve which they can use at the right
time, is a question that only few
high officers can answer But this is
sure-if the Germans do not break
thru the line sometime in the next
few weeks, they will never break it
and will have to take the downgrade
to entire defeat.

BAR MEETING

The members of the bar are re-
spectfully requested to meet in the
circuit court room on Friday, May Sd,
at ten o'clock a. M, to consider and
take such action as they may deem
advisable with reference to certain
communication from the secretary of
the treasury, and the secretary of the
navy, relating to voluntary patriotic
services to benefciaries under the war
risk insurance act, and to our soldiers
and sailors under the civil relief act.
The department seeks to check and
suppress the activities of ambulance
chasers and leech suckers in their eff
forts to prey upon benefciaries under
the war risk insurance act especially;
and patriotic members of the bar are
called upon to freely cooperate in
bringing about the desired results.

We understand there is conspira-
cy among some of our friends to
capture and burn our old hat, so we
shall have to buy another. We beg
to inform our friends that we have
three old hats. each of which looks
worse than the others, and we have no
intention of buying a new one until
all the old ones are gone. Why should
Ards Waterman have to credit us for
a new hat when he needs the money
to help pay for Liberty Bond? Be-
side, if we had a new hat, it would
look as worse as the old one in less
than month. We beg our friends to
let our old hat alone-meantime,
when we aren't wearing it we shall
sit on it until we finish paying for our
liberty bond.
