MUSICAL COMEDY
 SCORES BIG HIT

At the Desert Inn Theatre last Saturday evening one of the greatest crowds ever seen in Oatman was as- sembled to witness the brilliant pro- duction by the Moose Musical Comedy Company of the three act play, "Cap- tain Racket.
 Those who had been fortunate enough to see the previous perfor- nance of the Moose Minstrel Com pany last Thanksgiving felt assured of an evening of worthwhile enter tainment, but Captain Racket sur- passed their highest expectations. Un- der MT. O. B. Nair's able direction the "rawness" that usually character izes an amateur performance was con- spicuous by it's absence.
 Mrs. Yolande Platte Nair, as "Clar- ice" was the acme of finished acting; while Miss Zelma Eastman, as Mrs. Tolman" was laughing, bowling suc- cess. The part of Katy, the maid, was admirably sustained by Mrs. Mary Clark. Dr. c. c. Tolleson in leading role of Captain Racket" was excellent, and MT. o. B. Nair took the part of "Timmy Tolman', who mar ried for money and was sorry for it, to perfection. MT. Chas. F. Pugh as "Dalroy"; MT. Chas. Williams as "Uncle Obediah" and MT. Earle Moore as "Hobson" were all good and worthy of special mention.
 The crowning feature, however, of the entire performance was the Des- ert Dancers: Misses Adrienne Nair, Alice von Biela, Helene Douglas, Evelyn Firesheets, Lucy Won Biela, Margaret Penny, Rado Glace, Winni fred Shaw, Jessie Jenkins, Lenora Rideau and Evelyn Schottmiller.
 In their original and fetching cos tunes of 1South Sea Hottentots", "Scarecrow Chorus", winging Beauties" and Bathing Girls", they were each and every one a winner, and received encore after encore. We have many choruses in high-class companies that did not compare either in looks or charms with these young desert products.

"TOOtle the Horn
 Trumpet MelOdiOusly''

SAN FRANCISCO, April 7-Warn- ing to prospective Oriental tourists to be prepared to "tootle the horn trum- pet melodiously" was issued today by Purser H. E. Palmer of the China Mail steamship China.
 Palmer exhibited as a basis for his warning the following translation of Japanese police instructions to motor ists:
 "When a passenger of foot hove in sight, tootle the horn trumpet to him melodiously at first. If he still ob- stacles your passage, tootle him with vigor and express by word of mouth the warning Hi, Hi!'
 Beware of the wandering horse that he do not take fright as you pass him by. Do not explode the exhaust box at him. Go soothingly by or stop by the roadside till he pass away.
 "Give big space to the festive dog making sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of dog with your wheel spokes.
 GO soothingly on the grease mud as there turks the skid demon.
 Press brake of the foot as you roll around the corners to save the col lapse and tie up."

That daddy in the eyes of childhood is always just as big man as any in the world was evidenced one day in the West Indianapolis branch library.
 A tiny, smiling girl stood at the desk.
 "What does your father do?" ask ed the librarian in an effort to identi- fly her father among the many men of the same name in the city directory.

Carroll will show the chorus girls the

He win give them all dressing rooms

Mr.. Carroll says that his heart was
moved to this act Of philanthropy by the
fact that chorus girls usually have
dressing rooms up four or five flights Of
steps and are frequently compelled to
go TO them at least fifteen times during
a performance
He acknowledges that his philanthropy
is not without Its selfish side. THE girls
will look more attractive and be in the

accounts, the number OF chorus girls out
