RED CROSS VAUDEVILLE
GREAT SUCCESS

| on tuesday evening by oevy OF
the lovely young society matrons and
maids of the town assisted by the
band of the 319th Field Artillery, un-
der the able direction of Mr.. Tedes-
| co.
The auditorium was filled to it's
utmost capacity with most apprecia-
tive and enthusiastic audience.
A great success financially as well
as socially managed by an able COM
mittee, Mrs. A. V. Cortelyou, Chair
man. Proceeds to go to the Surgi-
cal Dressings Class.
Home talent was exceptionally
good, and was roundly applauded, but
the soldiers were the lions of the &C.
casion
The numbers by the band were
very good, the vocal solos by Corpor-
al Berry, and Mr.. Renehart were
beautiful, as were the piano solos by
Mr.. Anderson, and the H. 2. Co.
319th Quartette, and the Italian Sex
tette fairly brought down the house.
The demure and charming "Old
Fashioned Wives"-the pretty and
fetching knitting bags, the panto-
mines by our own Regina, and read
ings by Mrs. John Boston, the lovely
graceful dance by Miss Lucy Kent
Chappell, and delightful "Perriot and
Perrette" by Mrs. Regina Rambo
Benson and Miss Lucy Cole; the
sweet songs of Miss Baldwin; and
imitatible recitations of Miss Allene
Fields all were fine and it would
be impossible to say which was the
best!
The grand finale was a Tableaux
of "Our Allies, the Nations being
represented by half a dozen of our
prettiest girls with Mrs. Benson as
peace" and Mrs. Fred Hopkins as
the regal Columbia.
However, the gem of the evening
was the impromptu speech of thanks
by Major Michel Screws, on behalf
of the soldiers. When he closed his
own most appropriate words with the
touching poems by Robert Service
young Fellow, My Lad" there was
scarcely a dry eye in the house.

The Story of Hero and Lyander
Every night Lyan0er swims
the Hellespont to see his love,
Hero, On this night she comes
out on the balcony at the seas
edge to await his coming and ad-
mire the beauty of the night. At
last, far in the distance she hears
his call and finally sees him in
the bright moonlight. She asks
the gods to safely bring him
through the treacherous waters
to her side, when suddenly a
terrible and swift storm arises
and in spite of her warning crys
and pleas, he is dashed lifeless
at her feet. Grief-stricken, she
prayes the gods to take her also,
and in answer to her prayer, her
heart break in a anguish and her
spirit goes to join his in the
