during the three days. The Cowboy

the affair and who are staging this
fourth annual show, are going after
the best talent available, lining up a

Perhaps the big entertainment fea-

cal artists, who will be featured in

on the second evening of the doings,
which will be Thursday evening,
April %. The New Orleans Jazz band
was at Themopolis, Wyo., last June
when the boys of the Cowboy
band joumeyed to that city and pro
vided music for the Stampede. The
dusky boys from New Orleans were
playing in a big cabaret at Thermo
polls. They went wild over the Cow
boy band, which they considered the
greatest musical novelty they had
ever encountered.
From Thermopolis, the New Orleans
bunch went to Spokane, where it sign
ed up a long term engagement at the
Silver grill Here last November, when
the Cowboy band went to Spokane for
the Western Royal Livestock show,
greetings between the two musical
organizations were again had and at
that time preliminary plans were
made which resulted in the contract
for the appearance of the New Or
leans singers and dancers at the forth
coming Days of 40.
Sam r. Mcdaniel is featured with
the boys from New Orleans and all
who have heard him class his work
as the peer of all colored performers
in the west He is a singer of songs,
dancer Of dances and jazzer of
iazzes, as are all five members of his
organization. A concert program of
songs and solo and ensemble instru
mental numbers will be given after
which the dance program with the
colored artists providing the dance mu-
sic will be enjoyed.
Arrangements for details of the big
boys of the band are busy on the

All the features of the entertain

hall dancing of all the old and new
dances will be in vogue. The Cowboy
orchestra will provide music for the
dancing on the opening night and
also on the last evening, while the
New Orleans jazzers will occupy the
orchestra pit the second night.
The Cred Dog Saloon" with a
well stocked line of prohibition bever-
ages that look like the old stuff, but
which lack authority, will be open

this feature in charge and promises a
thrill or two for everybody. Don It
