Greenwood avenue, and we have the
managers word for it that the curtain
will rise at 4:30 o'clock sharp. Ad-
vance sale of tickets has been excep-

Staebler. Charlotte, Betty, Jane and
Helen Sallee. At latest reports there
lected.
Everyone's to have a part in the
: affair, that is all those who have been
out selling tickets. No boys are in the
whole thing, it is entirely feminine
talent. The Sallee twins. Betty and
Jane, are to sing a duet about baby
brother" the rest of the girls are to
have pieces and the whole company
of performers will be in a flower play.
There is to be one special number
sung to the tune of John Brown" the
first verse tho is rather startling, be-
ginning with john Browns Baby Had
Cold Upon Its Chest" Here the per-
formers give their own chests a rap,
designating to the audience the where
abouts of that article, as they other
wise might not understand just what

one of the company has two front
teeth missing just at present, so that
makes pronunciation still more intri-
] cate.
/ Altogether, it's going to be fine

word for it.
