THE R0TARIANS
BANQUET LADIES
Large Crowd At Ladies Night Ban
quet And Installation OF New Of
ficers.

There were about 65 in attendance
at the Rotarian Ladies Night banquet
lat the Rudolf hotel last evening and
|64 of them claim that it was one OF
the most enjoyable affairs ever Civ.
en- by this club. julius Meyers said
he didn't enjoy himself.
Following the banquet, which was a
real feed served in four courses, Pres
ident Edgar Pray called for the read
ing of the list of new officers by Sec
retaryElect Ben Grotte. Edgar Pray
then turned his office over to the new
president, DR.. Carl Allen, giving a
short talk on his appreciation of the
support he had received from the club
members during his tenure of office.
DR.. Allen responded with a statement
of his appreciation Of the honor con-
ferred on him by the club and asking
that this splendid support be contin-
ued. At the conclusion of his talk he
was accorded an ovation by a number
of the singers (?) of the club. He
then called upon Dave Richie who
had been requested by the club men,
bers to present to DR.. Pray slight
token of his good work in the organi.
zation of the club. After a very good
address Mr.. Ritchie presented DR..
Pray with diamond set Rotary en-
blem. The meeting was then turned
over to Jack Thomson, who was chair
man for the day.
The first number on the program
was an Hungarian dance by Miss An
ma Sad. Miss Sad was dressed in a
Hungarian costume and gave a very
good dance which was thoroly enjoy
ed by those present. This was fol.
lowed by skit, headed by Carl Allen,
and entitled MAUD Muller" The
parts were taken by some of the lead
ing Rotarians, Frank Heimes making
decidedly original Maud Muller and
being assisted by Tom Nugent, Fred
Kelly, Charley Robertson, Frank Ploy
har, Harvey Taylor, Dave Richie, and
Charley Mudgett. This number was
followed by selection by the Jazz
Orchestra. We don't know where they
got this name unless it was because
Of the manner in which they rendered
"Old Black Joe". An old time SPELL
ing bee, with variations, was indulged
in for short time and then Profess
sor Herman, otherwise known as Ed.
Bloom, entertained the crowd with
some sleight of hand tricks. Ed is a
real artist at this sort of entertain
ment and completely mystified the
diners. As the hour was late Chair
man Thomson stated that a part of
the program would be dispensed with
and the finale of the evening was pre-
sented by Walter Palmer. This was
series Of very moving pictures of
the ladies present thrown on screen
at the end of the room, the guests
having the privilege of guessing their
identity AS the subjects had been
photographed at various ages, from
the cradle to the present, considerable
entertainment was provided by this
feature.
Oh yes, we forgot to explain why
julius did not enjoy the evening. He
was song leader for the evening, and,
following his usual custom, started a
Rotarian song, requiring certain
amount Of dancing, at most inap-
propriate time. He expected the bal
ance of the club members to support
him in this matter-but they didn't.
1t was solo, very feelingly render
ed, without encores. Julius was, later
in the evening, fined the customary Is
cents for not responding when the
club indulged in the song. He says
that he may forget the incident but
that he will never forgive his fellow
members for this unkind act.
The meeting last night was a most
enjoyable affair and Chairman Thom-
son, and those assisting him, are to
be complimented on the very good en-
tertainment provided for the evening.
