FIRST REHEARSAL OF
LEGION SHOW REVEALS
MUCH PEP AND TALENT

The first rehearsal for the coming
Legion vaudeville show was held last
night and from the enthusiasm dis
played, the performance should be a
knockout. The welkin rang with the
old army songs and the parts were
handled with the skill of old timers
by the men who are participating. one
of the parts portrayed is that of Il
Red Cross Girl and such a display of
grace and femininity has never before
been seen in Lakeland. The name OF
the Legionnaire taking this role is
not being made public and those at
tending will be most agreeably sur
prised at the performance.
The cast is composed of the follow
ing members of the local post. Ralph
Marrill, c. Van E. Hopper, Harry Lo-
gan, Jimmy Norton. T. NJ. Phillips.
Clyde Hall, Dr. J. w. Kutrow. A. v
and Ben GetZoff. The east
will rehearse again Friday evening
and the finishing touches will be put
on at that time.
Manager Garner is offering a pass
to the Casino theater to any boy or
girl selling 25 tickets to the show
All youngsters who would like to earn
a pass are requested to see Mr.. Gar
ner at once.
The vaudeville sketch will be pre-
scented once on Monday afternoon and
twice at the evening show. so every
one will have an opportunity to see
for themselves the American soldier
at play.

pending vacancy in the 145th, the
Florida regiment. Colonel Collins con-
ferred with Captain Steitz. former
commander of Co. d, and with sew
