James Montgomery, the author,

depicted in a play surrounded with
lovely and tender music as well as
in straight drama. He succeeded in

has associated with him as before
Joseph Mccarthy and Harry Tier

of their music Is already we'll

their work in this new musical

Vlted to address the Lions Club this
evening at their regular social gath
erlng at the Tea Room. The invita-
ton comes as a result of his affable
manner IN meeting and pleasing the
public. The subject of his talk will
be Mexico" a country which he
knows well, having been a resident
of Vera Cruz for years before
coming to Americas. He resided in
Mexico during one of the most in
teresting stages of its history, and
knows the manners and customs of
its people. He possesses an unusu-

speaking English as we'll as Spanish,
he is able to express his thoughts
in unbrOken sentences.
He will wear the uniform of his
company which Sc serves so faith
fully and sincerely, and his talk this
evening will win for him even more
friends and admirers than he now
possesses, because of the intimate
relationship which must necessarily
follow his description of a country
of which he was a part during his
earliest life.
Edouard has made friends not

tablished for his company through
his pleasing personality a closer
