Hartford Pest Gave First Annual Con-
cert in Gates Opera House.
The Hartford post, No 20, American
Legion, gave its first annual concert
aul Call III Gates opera house Thurs
day evening. Jan. Is. The evenings
entertainment opened with u concert
pivcn BY Chester q. Garden, pianist,
Miss Rnxie Gilbert, violinist, Miss Ger
srude Mcnamara, vocal soloist. The
5oncert was greatly enjoyed BY the
large audience present. After this came
the ball, which had been 50 thoroughly
advertised far and near Carrolls or
ehestra of Barre furnished the music.
This orchestra is considered one of the
best in the state and every member is
an ex- service man. They certainly did
furnish good, lively music and those
who enioyed dancing seemed able to
enter into this kind of amusement with
zest. There were about 200 couples on
the floor and everything was carried
out in an orderly and decent manner
and the members of the Hartford post
deserve great credit for the able ard
pleasing way in which they pulled OIL
this their first annual dance. The dec
orations were beyond description and
were an evidence that someone had
not only worked hard but had also dis
played artistic taste in their elaborate
decorations. It would be impossible to
describe all Of the decorations, but one
or two features stand out more con-
spiclious than the others, one was the
motto of the order in front of the foot
lights, which read 100 per cent Amer
icanism. This motto was all illumi-
mated by electric lights and the letters
were in red, white and blue and We're
very beautiful. On the curtain at the
back of the stage was large American
flag, all studded with coiored lights,
and as. the electricity was turned on IT
looked as If the flag was waving in the
breeze. 1t was wonderful artistic
piece of work and displayed genius
and added much to the beauty OF the
decorations. The committee which had
charge OF the arrangements OF tins
concert and ball deserves great credit,
for it spared neither pains nor labor IN
making it the great success that i was
IN every way. 1t is another evidence
that not only can our late war heroes
fight when put to the test, but they
can design and work out the very best
plans for good time. The boys also
can feel highly ccmplimented in the
sllpnort which was given them by the
citizens OF the town of Hartford and
NC all hopeIhat their treasury will be
greatly increased by this their first an
nua concert and ball.
