Tenn porarily. corn showed d!spo-

Was checked when word came OF IA
sharp advance in rates for cali loans,
Failure o. the railroads TO bring in
liberal supplies OF corn gave some re-

port demand for oats, re ana wheat.
Again, however. dear money. inter

zero weather led to another bulge III
although fufilment OF talk of below

last owing to reports that the rall-

TESTERS MINSTREL
SHOW WENT GREAT
FORTY PEOPLE TAKE PART IN
! LAWN PARTY MINSTREL
AUDIENCES DELIGHTED
SPICY SPECIALITY HITS
Amateur Entertainers of Wolf Point
Have Professionals Crowded
Off the Stage

Tuneful, colorful, pleasing and
entertaining from curtain to curtain,
the Lawn Party Minstrel" scored an
unqualified success at matinee and
evening performances Wednesday,
1t was really rather difficult for
members of the audience to believe
that it was entirely the product of
home talent.
The program called for four acts
that brought in in pleasing contrast
sketches, comedy, music and special
ty acts. Altogether about forty peo-
pie participated. The staging and
costuming was far ahead of the av-
erage road show. All of the num-
erous musical numbers proved real
hits. Little Rowena Annette of Cul-
bertson, as a toe-dancer, and her
sister, Wilma, in the Highland fling,
were strong favorites with the aud
ience. 1t would be difficult to con-
ceive Of numbers prettier or more
graceful.
Mrs. Flint and her girls in "a Lit
tie Touch of Spring." presented a
very charming and tuneful scene.
Thornton and Rae in "Darktown
Comedy" were strictly 'there" and
carried out their vaudeville sketch
in a manner that indicated they had
been there before. But of course
the chorus girls were just about the
top-liners when it came to popularity
with the audience. There is abso-
lutely no need of going way down
to the Shubert to see a pretty chorus.
The minstrel show proper that
was brought in for the fourth act
sprung lot of good stuff and intro
duced soome good gags and catchy
songs. 1t was good, thoroughly
good, delightfully."- good, and many
are hoping that the TESTERS Club will
not wait too long before putting on
another show.
