 That great crime of neglect is

SHOW OF THE DESERT

Thursday night, March Is, the people
Of this hospital put on performance
that has never been surpassed this
side Of the Mississippi, and as the re-
suit OF this excellent exhibition of
talent the whole east Is to make n tour
Of the United States, beginning the first
Of May. The opening night found the
Red Cross House crowded 10 the
doors, and the audience wild with eX-
element and expectation.
The orchestra, consisting OF Ga keys
Of the piano, was manipulated by our
noted leader, DIR. Fulwider, who has
been the understudy Of SOusa for the
past 10 years. The overture was one
Of his OWL compositions.
Prologue introducing the passing
show was given by Vance Moore. who
has been studying in the Boston School
Of Oratory, and showed great deal
Of dramatic talent. He also acted as
announcer for the different acts Of the
play.
The soft shoe and hula hula danger
Jack MOcassin, amazed the audience
and received much applause and many
encores.
Musical selections were rendered by
from New York, and Violinist Pierce.
from Siberia.
The vamp act by Duffy and Ather.
ton was a scream from the very start
Duffy personating percy" was very
clever indeed. Atherton as the vamp
created n sensation and his actions
towards Percy" the isis" proved that
he had made study of women from
many angles.
Paulson as black-face comedian
sure will make Al Jolson look up and
take notice. His act was much ap-
plauded and as soon as Mr.. Paulson
finishes his tour with this company he
Is going to New York and star In
Keith's first class vaudeville.
The Begin Act" Abe Harris TAX
ing the part of the beggar, showed the
audience what n wonderful thing ma.
ture can do for human beings. Abe
found way TO get money out Of the
public and arouse the sympathies Of the
passers-by.
The Jazz band was the hit Of the
evening. The leader, McAllister,
showed much talent as an eccentric
entertainer.
Mebbers Of the band were: Finch.
the giant Diefendorf, the shrimp, and
Duffy, the little Lizzy boy. The cos
tunes and makeup Of this band were
beyond description. This act came
from the Barney-Bailey circus and is
one Of the highest paid jazz bands in
the United States.
The last act, Malone and company, In
the Dope Fiend's Easter" was very
good conclusion 10 the show. The
ladies Of this company would all be
prize winners In beauty contest, and
the scenery and costumes were very
elaborate, causing much favorable com
ment.
