March The 18th.

Mr.. and Mrs. jiggs will entertain
the lovers of musical comedy at the
Empire Theatre next Thursday even
ing, March 18th, where Bringing Up
Father" the World famed cartoons
created by George McManus, will be
seen in real life. Mr.. Jiggs and his
low-brow propensities, his devotion to
rinochle, rushing the growler and
card games in Dinty Moore's refresh
ment emporium, and Mrs. Jiggs equ-
ally well known aversion to anything
rot smacking Of society, the effete
and highbrow, have made millions
laugh in the pictured cartoons. The
doings of the Jiggses in Bringing Up
Father at the Seashore," his regular
falls from grace and Maggie's swift
and sure vengeance are bound to
make the most blase laugh. Every
town and hamlet has it's jiggs family,
and every family has Jiggs or a
Maggie or a Dinty Moore tucked
somewhere in it's family tree. Origi-
nal songs, music, smart ensembles
pretty girls galore and large and
capable cast gives every guaranty OF
ar evening we'll spent for enjoyment.

CIRDLETREE FOLKS
ENTERTAIN ROYALTY
Were Greeted AT The Empire Thea.
tire Thursday Evening By A
Crowded House.

One of the most pleasing entertain
n'ents that it has been the privilege
Of our people to witness was that
given in the Empire Theatre on
Thursday evening last by the young
people of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Girdlctree, when they pre-
sented the cantata entitled "The Min
ster's Wife's New Bonnet"
1t was a rare entertainment, filed
with humor and abounding in choice
musical selections. The cast was
composed entirely of Girdletree folks,
many Of the leading citizens being in
eluded in the list. The arrangement
cl the characters was exceptionally
fine. Each one seemed to be made es-
pecially for his or her part. One
rarely finds, even in professionals, a
cast so evenly balanced. There We're
fourteen characters and each one
proved to the vast audience that they
were artists in their roles.
Where all did so we'll it would be
hard, and indeed unfair. to specialize
in comment. From the rise of the cur
tain in the first act to the closing
scenes of the last act, the audience
was richly entertained with fine act
ing, excellent music and an abundance
C wit and humor, so much so that
"The Minister'S Wife's New Bonnet"
has been the topic of favorable COM
nent since Thursday evening.
Time and space forbid US giving the
cast and the individual comment they
richly deserve; suffice it to say that
all did we'll and each and every one
Ct them have the thanks of our peo-
pie for an evening of real enjoyment.
1t was a pleasure for Pocomoke TO
have these good people in her midst
and to be so highly entertained by
them. We trust that in the not far
distant they will be engaged in anoth-
er enterprise Of this character and
that when their schedules of towns to
be played is made out they will not
fail to have Pocomoke City in the list.
