Kathleen" Principals
Guest of Club at
Supper and Dance

When these air ham actors get
together there is bound to be some
thing stirring most of the time and
the event of Tuesday evening at the
Elks' home, when the Kathleen"
principals were given a banquet by
the Girls Club, was certainly no eX-
ception. The fun started when the
grapefruit squirted at the beginning
of the first course into Neds eye
and kept (the fun, we mean, gentle
reader) on until the chaperons said,
''"Seven o'clock in the morning comes
pretty early"
The members of the cast Of charac-
ters lin order of appearance as the
program reads) and the chaperons
of the cast were given course din
ficr, and the hungry, happy party did
ample justice to the splendid repast
which was served by the banquet
committee.
At $50 o'clock the company sat
down and enjoyed grape fruit cock
tail with red cherries and green
ones too: chicken, 'um, UNI. with all
the fiXin's and sweet potatoes for
luck; a salad that was delicious but
nobody could guess everything in it
that's what makes salads SO deli
cious; ice cream, three kinds, all
served in layers; nuts and minis and
olives and radishes: Cake with a
capital c. frostin all oozing down
over and coffee
After dinner the floor was cleared
and the piano, which belongs to the
tairy-fathcrs, the Ellls. was borrowed
from the next room and dancing was
in order. Then as dancing died
down in popularity. stunts" were
called for. Everyone had u chance
to shine and everyone did.
AS usual, Our Director-no, little
Willie not a march, but a very nice
man,-Mr Ward. was the prime
mover in thinking up stunts and it
was ION with the dance, let joy be
unrefined''-for the "stunt) makers.
There was Phil Sylvester in the
role of the dying gladiatH. armed
/ with a tray and a knife. The other
wilted gladiator was Ludger YER
mette and what he lacked in tech
nique when it comes to whiting he
made up in enthusiasm. DSpofford
I Giddings in the role of rubber and
general cncourager for Phil. and
Merle Ward as the business like
other rubber served their positions
most efficiently. Ralph Brown
showed that what he didn't know
about nypnotizing wasn't worth
knowing. OF course, his subject.
Samuel Mccall, got somewhat off
the track at times, but Ralph called
that's pun. And Eldon Gray was
the property boy, one of those pert,
saucy kind. Miss Christine Carey
presided at the piano and her har-
mony put just the finishing touch.
The jazz wedding with Mr. Ward
in the role of parson, Mr.. Sylvester
as the groom. Mr.. NermettcNhs the
bride with the aid of a few scarfs
and silk hanky over his--we mean
her-head. and Mr.. Giddinss az the
dear little ring bearer-the jazz
wedding was 4 scream. Laugh stops
were touched that were never touch
ttl pSlOl'.
Other members of the party were
Mrs. katherine Gray, Mrs. T.. A.
Gray. Miss Caro- Hamlin, Miss Ethel
Garsidc, Miss Dorothy Gray, Miss
Gladys Madore, Miss Ruth Hender-
son.
The banquet committee was COM
posed Of Miss Lucy Judd, Miss Lydia
, Bradstreet and Miss Arletta Snow
and great credit is certainly due this
efficient committee. There was n
note Of regret because Miss Paine
was not present.
Note: When the Augusta Girls
Community Club is put into working
order, disable condition. the members
of the chorus of Kathleen" and
their chaperons and everyone else
connected with the show are to be
guests at party. a grand good party
and there is guaranteed loads and
loads of fun in store for them. For
when these air ham actors get to-
Eether there is bound to be some
thing stirring
