BLAINE ALLEN TO GIVE
BIG Dance IN N|N0T
Former Director Of Minot Symphony
Orchestra Will Give Big Dance at
Anderson Block Monday Evening.

Blaine Allen, we'll known to the mu-
sic loving public of Minot as the d.
rector of the one-time famous Minot
Symphony orchestra, spent Sunday
in Minot, and while here made ar
rangements to give a big dance
at the Anderson block in this city
next Monday evening, May 18th; which
promises to be the very biggest dane
ing event Of the season.
Mr.. Allen is making an extensive
tour with dance orchestra composed
Of the principal musicians of the Min
neapOEs Pantages Theatre orchestra,
and, through fortunate change in
routing he was able to give dance
in Minot, although the original sched-
ule did not include Minot. The or
chestra on this occasion will number
Ia musicians, and will be personally
conducted by Mr.: Allen, which insures
the dancers the very utmost in dance
music.

bonist at the Arcade Theatre in this

iste. Being naturally of vivacious
temperament, she instills that spirit
into her playing, and the result il
simply marvellous.
The dancing public of Minot should
not forget the dance at the Anderson
block Monday night. The fact that
Mr.. Allen will direct the orchestra
personally is sufficient guarantee that
the music will be the best ever. Those
who enjoy the very latest in jazz mus
ic will not be disappointed in the jazz
aphone. Altogether the event will be
the most joyous that Minot has ever
witnessed. Dancing from 9 until the
crowd is tired. Tickets 81, plus war
tax. Remember, it's next Monday ev-
ening, May II.

city, is a member Of the orchestra,
playing the trombone, and also being
a performer on the Jazzaphone, which
is new novelty that will be introduc-
ed in Minot for the first time at this
dance.
The Jazzaphone is very unique
jazz instrument, which was recently
invented by Mr. Blaine Allen to create
an effect. in jazz music that he was un-
able to get in any other instrument.
Mr.. Allen has spent considerable
time in experimentation before he
finally got the instrument perfected,
but those who have heard the jazz
aphone think that the time was well
spent, as it is an invention that will
probably make Mr.. Allen internation-
ally famous. 1t is understood that a
large corporation has been formed to
place Mr.. Aliens jaZzaphone on the
market and that orders are already
being received from coast to coast in
the United States. Mr., Allen is very
modest about his new instrument,
and the only claim that he personally
makes for it is that no jazz orchestra
is complete without jazzaphone Sec
ton.
Another performer on the jazza-
phone is Mr.. Adolphus Werness, who
also plays the drums in the orchestra.
AS jazz drummer Mr.. Werness is
in class by himself, and is a valuable
member of the orchestra.
Another member Of the orchestra
who is worthy Of especial mention
is Miss Beatrice Bronstad, the plan
