The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1918-05-06
Celebration at Citra

The celebration at Cltra Friday
night was a marked success and was
due largely to the luntiring efforts of
Mr.. Duncan Miller, who went into the
work with heart and soul and left
nothing undone that would tend to-
ward bringing the celebration to a
successful elimination.
Everybody enjoyed Mr.. Lester Lu-
cas- songs. He has given Ocala au-
diences too much pleasure for US not
to know that his singing on this oc-
casion was all and more than we
could say. The Messrs. Gerig also
should have more than passing no.
tice, for they gave their "Grasshop-
per" song, which is of itself huff
said" Mr.. Duncan Miller delighted
the large audience with two splendid
songs, and Miss Ethel Borland gave
two readings which were fine and
showed unusual talent. Our own Miss
Byrd Wartmann's piano selections
were as usual the work of an artist,
and were heartily encored and much
enjoyed.
There were fully twenty represen.
tatives from Ocala and resolutions of
thanks to Ocala for their assistance
and also to Mr.. Miller for his efforts
were adopted.
After the completion of the pro-
gram, ice cream was sold and fully
$50 cleared for the Red Cross.
