MINSTREL SHOWS
AT PEN|TENT|ARY
SET FOR This WEEK

Inmates of the Oregon state peniten-
fiary, after a month of steady rehear-
sails. at last announce the dates of their
coming shows, November IL and 13.
According to Happy Gordon. who
Is handling the publicity end and who
has directed several successful shows
at the prison, this, their seventh pro-
duction, pron.sos = eclipse any pre-
reding affair they have attempted.
This means quite a lot as all who
have attended their shows will bear
nut. Business men have openly stated
that these boys have produced some OF
the best entertainments they have had
the pleasure Of seeting in Salem.
Away back in 1914 they produced
their first show, which proved sue.
cess FAR beyond their expectations.
Each succeeding administration has
looked with favor on this as one means
of getting a mans mind on good clean
things.
These entertainments are looked for
ward to by those who take part and
no exertion is spared to make them
worthy of public interest.
On these nights, you who attend
their entertainments, meet bunch of
apparently happy, smiling fellows, VINO
are really so. at least for the time be-
ing, as they are, for that long-looked-
for evening, free again, and their only
objects are to please you, create a feel
ing of friendliness in your hearts, and
to forget the sordid yesterdays and to-
Tnorrows. For that one blessed even
ing they are entertainers privileged to
enjoy for that short time the greatest
thing, to my mind, in the world. That
is the wonderful feeling which comes
over one when one tries, and success
fully, brings smiles and hearty laugh
ter from others, more fortunate, per-
haps but who may be carrying bur-
dens just as hard to bear, and who for
get them in their interest in the novel
entertainment presented.
These fellows have made hosts of
friends since their first show, and each
succeeding affair adds to their number.
Music houses and publishers send their
feature numbers to them with requests
that they be used Every one who can
always helps to the extent Of their abil-
ity. These things all go to make their
shows welcome affairs to their friends,
and they fully feel that this time. being
exceptionally fortunate in having the
best voices they have ever had, they
ARE about to present their biggest sue
cess. and in the minds of those who
have seen their rehearsals, the very
highest point in amateur minstrel pro-
auctions.
Owing to the fact that hundreds
were turned away at their first night
shows they respectfully ask that those
attending their entertainments pur-
chase their tickets at downtown selling
