NO APPEARANCE
Dangerous Dan McGrew Re-
fuses to Speak Before Empty
Seats at Boy Scouts Enter
tainment at City Hall

He would face German shot and
shell but he would not face empty
seats and thus Dangerous Dan Nc
Grew. the heralded war lecturer, did
not appear, Friday evening at the
City hall under the auspices of the
Boy Scouts. Mr.. McGrew was in the
hall. but observing the very small
crowd, between % and 80. he stated
to Harold L. Pride. patrol leader of
the Boy Scouts, that he would not
deliver his letcure. The Pine Tree
quartet and the soloist were there
and ready to do their. share of the
evenings entertainment. Douglas
Melody Men were also on hand to
carry out their part. John Hyde,
who has been carrying the title of
manager for Mr.. McGrew, was not
present. although Mr.. Pride an
nounced from the stage that Mr.
Hyde was in the city. And the crowd
was not there.
The fact that the entertainment Of
Friday evening was not carried out,
was 4 bitter disappointment to the
DOy oCoQlS. IL "SlS C|idcilI tlldl tHC
boys had not had very large adj
vance sale of tickets and selling
tickets before the show is what
counts, according to those who
ought to know.
The Boy Scouts are endeavoring
to raise money for their summer
camp. They have been busily en-
gagged in selling chocolate all during
the past months. The Friday enter
tainment was to add great deal to
their camp fund. The merchants
donated advertising space for the
Boy Scouts page in the Journal of
Thursday morning, which the Boy
Scouts certainly appreciate.
1t was apparent that there was
some misunderstanding as to the
particular duties of each person con-
cerned in the business of Fridays
entertainment. There seemed to be
a rift in the management. Much dis
appointmnt was felt upon the part
Of the few who were there, that the
Boy Scouts did not have better
backing.
