SECOND NUMBER OF
LYCEUM COURSE GIVEN

Mr.. w. S. Watkins, a reader
and interpreter of considerable me-
rit, was the offering for the Sc
cond number of the Philip Ly-
ceum course of entertainments at
the Gem Theatre Saturday even
ing. The play rendered was an adj
aption of Turn to the Right
which had such large success up
on the New York stage half a
dozen years ago.
The story is interesting and
pleasing, that of the reclamation
of men through the influence of
a good old fashioned mother, and
Mr.. Watkins gave very credit
able Interpretation. He reads his
line too rapidly, as does most of
these lyceum entertainers, who do
their stunt night after night, and
fall into the bad habit of hurry
ing along, and getting the thing
over with, but the evening was,
nevertheless, very enjoyable, and a
good many people think it one Of
the best numbers we have had
here. Anyway it was delightful
variation from the usual program.

FIREMEN DANCE AND FROLIC

Twas the 14th of January and
the Philip Firemen responded to a
call that brought them rushing
pell-mell to Pohle's floor. Chief
Murphy was there, and as usual
leading the rush. 1t is amazing
how sprightly the Chief can move
around when the occasion de-
mands. One hook and ladder com
pany was detailed to clear the way
for the advancing couples, another
was on guard to clear away the
debris, If anything should fall in
on anyone, and everybody was a
ringin' their bells and tootin'
and havin' a good time. The
chemical company rescued several
girls from positions of great peril
and brought them blushing to pos
itions Of entire safety. All, a
brave lot are these chemical boys,
and they never displayed such bra
very, such utter daredevil con-
tempt for the consequences as they
did at the Fireman's Annual Ball
at Pohle's Hall last Friday night.
There was a great turnout as is
always the case when the Philip
tiremen put on a performance, and
the only difficulty encountered was
IN keeping the crowd back. No
one threw any cold water on any
thing, however, ard as result
the flames were not put out and
taken home until an early hour in
the morning.
