"0H, BABY" COMING TO

seen at the Temple this evening n
ooh, Baby"
The big auto in question is so loud
you can hear it coming for blocks. II
you hear an unusual noise you'll know
that's 1t. 1t will probably be laden
with numerous personable young
women. Mr.. Marcus thinks that au-
tomobile riding is an excellent way to
maintain the morale of his beauty

Everything is ready for the bow Of
the Marcus company. Despite railroad
congestion there has been no DELAY
in transporting the two baggage car,

will shine forth in all it's glory.
Mike Sacks, who is the star of the
big revue, promises to provide
bunch of material bearing on local
events that should prove especially
diverting to citizens of this commune
ity.
ooh, Baby" is certainly going 10
tax the facilities of the stage. The
master mechanic arrived several DAYS
ago and has been busy making minor
changes necessary to the presenta-
ton Of the great spectacle, "At the
Gates Of Araby." These changes have
been completed with the result that
tonight's performance should run as
smoothly as marriage bell.
The Marcus company will probably
be greeted by one of the largest au-
licences that has graced the Temple
n many moons. The advance sale of !
iekets points to such a condition. -
