Bismarck's big loyalty week under
the auspices of the North Dakota
council of Defense opened Monday
evening in literal blaze of glory. The
pleasure zone, occupying four full
blocks, maze of glittering flights and
scintillating brass and crystal, was
thronged from early evening until late
at night by pleasure-seeking, care
free crowds. Hundreds OF families
whose Golfers will not countenance a
trip to the lakes or to the mountains
or the seashore this summer whose
only vacation is the movie, or the cir
Gus ran occasional splurge at the
Auditorium, were out in force last
evening, their modest amusement ap-
preparation providing pleasure for the
whole family.

office by Bismarck lodge, B. p. V. e.,

There was no appeal from the decis.

their fines and thanked their lucky
stars that their Offenses had not been
worse. Attorney General LANCER was
arrested early in the evening, but took
leg ball. A bench warrant was issued
for his apprehension on a charge of
contempt of court, but he got his. Supt.
Scott Derrick of the 500 line was

considering the merits Of the exhibit
ton, inspected "Mary's Ankle at the
Auditorium. The farce was clean and
spicy, and it was nicely done by COM
pany Of young players who give much
promise OF future greatness. Amy
Leah Dennis, with her wonderful hair
and eyes and the beautiful bloom Of
youth, may not be a finished actress,
but her charm of person made up for
any lack of art. L'ert Leigh was
most likeable penniless young scamp
of doctor fresh from college, and Ed
ward Eutier and Donald Mac Leod, as
his equally penniless chums, were just
as scampy and as irresistible. Earlier
in the season, with the house it de.
