THE JoLLIEs OF 1921.

pated in <K presentation of the
''Jollies ofFds21," from the commit
tees who promoted the enterprise,
and those who. assembled and trained
the caste, and every member OF the
aggregation deserve especial credit
for the delightful evening they gave
our people If you did not see it last
night see it tonight. Unless you do,
it will be the regret of your life.
The entire play demonstrated what
Wilson talent, the best amateur tai
ent in the world, is capable of do
ing.
The audience was enraptured and
gave every indication of it's appre-
citation by prolonged applause. Every
number called for an encore which
was graciously given, and every mem
ber of the ensemble entered into the
affair with enthusiasm, and that spirit
which brings the best out of any
thing.
Mr.. Albert Oettinger shone espe-
cially in the production. AS the in
terlocutor and master of ceremonies,
he had something to do every min
ute of the show and he did it WELL
1t was a great undertaking, keeping
all the parts in his head as well as
the lines, but there was never hesi-
tation or a break on his part. His
10
course of the entire evening there
was not a single prompt, as is usual
with amateur productions.
The stage was most attractive in
it's setting and grouping. On each
side as the curtain rose were the
guests of the evening at tables and
those participating in the chorus, and
many were down for individual songs
and stunts. In semi circle were the
smut artists, attired in red costumes,
while those on the program for spec
ial songs were attired in lavendar.
The scenes were changed as the
show progressed. The dancing, sing
ing, and jokes were good, and the
audience was kept on the tiptoe of
expectation all the way through.
Very laughable incidents aside
from the jokes, were Captain Green
and his army, the wedding caste,
and the occult wisdom of DIR. L. J.
Smith. Blindfolded, the latter sat on
the stage under the dazzling nom de
plume. of prince Ali Ben Boozle."
His manager Mr.. Arthur Ruffin NOV
ed around the hall and selected
articles from members of the audi
ence, and the doctor who has a way
of looking on the outside of man
and telling what's wrong on the in
side, again set his wits to working,
and tapping his brain, would give it
correctly. "He never fails, he never
fails" cried manager Ruffin, who
very much as the human
patient discloses the symptoms of his
gave an insight into the sur
and situations.
OF course there were skits, at the
expense of local characters. and
these were clever and greatly en-
joyed.
Especial mention should be made
of James Edward Andrews, Jr. This
little five year old tot sang songs.
stood on his head, and shimmied to
the great amusement of the audience.
He was called back several times.
The "Peachie Chorus" Led by Miss
Margaret Watson was also greatly
applauded.
The proceeds after expenses are
paid will be used to discharge the
of the Kiwanis club of
5 100000 towards the support of the
Community Service, and not one cent
goes into the treasury of the club.

everything from rag-time to Grand
