all the time AID Billy Anderson as the
conductor aud Miss Ruth Pitts as
Miss Carry Cno divided the honors
of the laughable skit.
Mrs. Schmitz, usually different and
always delightful added the real fin
ishing touch to the skit with her rem
dition of "You IL Find Old Dixie
Land in France which had ripping
chorus accompaniment which brought
the heartiest applause of the evening.
A clever musical act was given by
Johnson s Jazz Band introducing Paul
Weindsheim, Viggo Nelson, Ed. O'Toole,
Val johnson and Fred Smith. It got
rounds of applause and the quintette
was forced to respond to whole bevy
of encores.
Bob Hill and Director Robb put on
very clever monologue which had
the name of 'Some wear in Some
where which was as good soldier
take off as has been seer In Kenosha
since the war started. 1t was a riot
Of fun and music. An added feature
to the program was "Smiles' so
charmingly sung by little Miss Edna
Shelby that it won two encores and
brought tears to the eyes OF many in
the audience. The little girl will be
heard again at the performance this
evening.
The Ball Room scene which was
the last but one of the big features Of the
program was one Of the most color
full numbers ever put on Kenosha
stage. Twenty pretty girls in fantastic
costumes took part in the sketch and
it featured the Sand CARROTS Opera
Troup which included the Misses Sus-
an Whitaker, Camilla English and
Messrs Beckman, Anderson, Sershon
and Jensen. The rag-time arrange
ment of the sextette from Lucia was
scream. 1t was one of the happiest
pieces of comedy ever introduced in
Kenosha.
Joe Bren gave some very clever
piano interpretations and Miss Grace
Robinson, always a favorite with Ke-
nosha audiences read in most charm
ing manner q series of selections.
The Grand finale for the performance
was Songs from the PAST and it in
troduced the entire company in won
derful ensemble of music with Flea
nor Casey Schmitz, Florence Wells and
Howard Sershon as the soloists.
In all the "Jollies' lived up to its
Reputation in every way. Tt was real

added so much to the success of the
Ievening's entertainment included:
Florence Wells, Susan B. Whitaker,
Viola Harrison, Ebba, Norlander, Helen

her LETTERS" IN

Miss Jensen Tells of Busy
Days at Base Hospital
After the Recent
Big Drives.
GIVES TIMELY XMAS HINT
French and English Soldiers Continue

GIVES TIMELY XMAS hint

Do your Christmas limiting early"
is the tip to the wise that is found in
the letters dated the early part of
October, sent to the f'dear home
folks'' at SIS Newell street by Miss
Laura Jensen of the Army Nurse Corps
with the American Expeditionary
Forces in France.
Most Of US have visions of Miss Jen-
sen limiting for sweets and other girlish
delights, but such is not the case. Her
request is for letters from each and
every one of You at home. I" In strict
conformity to the rules of the Govern
ment every person in service lover
there" receives but one coupon in
which entities him to a box of certain
dimensions and containing articles of
total weight up to 3 pounds. So many
of us will have to forgeo the pleasure
of sending the love token, but no one
is denied the privilege of writing
Xmas letters and Miss Jensen, we
feel assured voices the sentiment of
all in service; so let $ take the tip and
send them cherry holiday greetings.
In her former letters, Miss Jensen
told Of many quaint French villages
and places Of historic interest in and
about Nantes, France, where she is
stationed, but due to the recent big
drives, the casualties have been more
numerous, so her letters are confined
to stories of the plucky wounded
heroes and the praises of the French
and British have for the doughboys
She says: "The French are greatly
surprised at the distance the American
boys can throw hand grenades-no
doubt due to their practice in playing
'7osnball. Our hoys have shown greater
endurance in fighting for long stretches
on empty stomachs than have the al
LIED soldiers.''
Her letter Of October 18th savors
Of peace for she writes: "This is won
derful peace newslooks hopeful in
deed. A messenger came to the wards
to tell the boys that Germany had ac-
lcepted the basis of President Wilson S
peace terms. They all hurrahed and
sang, sHomeward Bound, What a
Wonderful Sound. The only thing that
seems to worry the boys about the
homeward journey is the way the folks
will worry about their MANNED condi-
tion. If only the home folks could
accept our sacrifices as cheerful as
we have made them. y
Miss Jensen cites few instances of
the way and manner in which the
wounded soldiers jest and make light
Of their wounds. One of the boys who
was minus a limb was stopped by a
visitor and addressed thus, "Oh you
have lost Leg ".Why no / have

tells of the desire of all the patients
to get back to the front line as soon as
they are able to, but of course that
possibility is eliminated now as the
armistice has been signed.
No need of worry about any of us
over here for we have everything to
make us comfortable and arc all get
ting excellent food and provisions.
