LAST PERFORMANCE
OF ELKS' MINSTRELS
PLEASES ARDMORF

The second performance Of the Elks
AInstrels last night was given be
fore an audience that packed the
Palace theatre, and was n brilliant
success from every standpoint
The opening numbers served to put
the audience on the expectancy for
better things as the show progressed,
and they were not disappointed. The
solo numbers in the first part were
all good, especially the song of Hayold
Wallace which was especially well
received. Wallace was a riot, in fact
he was a series of riots and he had to
respond several times to display his
sylph like form TO an admiring popu-
lace. Bill Krohn was also compelled
to respond to several encores.
Eggs" Roger and George Freeman
were great in their part, and respond
ed to repeated encores. That Kaiser
Bill facial adornment OF Royers' was
a peach, and his friends suggest that
he cultivate an honest to goodness one
for permanent use.
Mrs. II. l.. Gardenhire and Mr.
Draper put on a lively little skit that
was well received, and were warmly
applauded for their part in the pro-
gram. The entire performance was a
credit to the Elks and to Mr.. Draper
the manager of the show. and the
members of the company were all ex-
ceptionally well chosen for their re.
spective parts.
The show was a financial as well as
a social success and the lodge is
better off by many dollars for their
effort.

an effort 10 prove these allegations
by various witnesses at the trials Of

cousin.
