DANIELSON

Orpheum theatre held record au- dience Thursday evening, when the Welcome Home Minstrels was pre- sented by a local cast. The show went pig as they say in behind the footlight circles. It !. was varied enough in it's arrangement to permit the introduction of many pleasing features, having little relation to one ' and other but all combining to make highly pleasing evenings enter tainment.
 F. D. Cuneen was the interlocutor and gathered about him was a min- strel organization that included much | of the splendid talent Danielson af- | lords.
 A group of end men, that were not | imbued with mercy banned every thing and everybody about town and the audience laughed in uproarious l glee. Those end men sure did put over some hot stuff, and this morn l ing they'll be wondering who's going 1 to kill them first-each expects to be killed at least a dozen times. | The stage setting for the overture included a representation of a caba- | ret, and this undoubtedly furnished the inspiration that had given birth to many of the clever things said and done.
 | With the mousse SOlu Uut- IuG Pl ceeds. all of which go to the Vel come Home fund for the towns ser vice men, will be big.
 Doing everything in true minstrel style, the cast gave a parade | Thursday at noon and that was much of a success, in it's own way, as was the evening performance. The parade was. considerable of a tour, going over on the West Side, and would up with singing bee at l the junction of Main and center streets. St. James band and drum cerps went along to keep things liv- ened up. The crowds that saw the parade resembled the crowds one sees here on a circus day, this being no insinuation against the paraders and they seemed highly pleased with what they saw and heard.
