were particularly striking during
the Third FroIIc.
Eller- J L-ndes, massive colored
orderly, was a complete success in
the Fifth Frolic, "The Battle of
HaTvey's Pond" fought by General
Bernard H. Daniels. The officer
and Southern darby orderly engag-
ell in brilliant repartee in the face
Of humiliation by the hidden
enemy. They kept the audience
in constant laughter.
During the intermission that pre-
ceded Part Two, Carlyle Sargent's
Eiks' orchestra played several
numbers.
an a Rose Bower" is the title
OF the Second Part and no more
appropriate appellation could have
been used. The stage setting and
arrangement of the Second Part
were most effective. Great roses,
dropping from above the heads of
the Elks and clears beauty
chorus, contrived to lend the eye a
prolonged picture Of harmonious
color, and pulchritude.
An innovation was introduced by
director Coombs with the estab-
h>hment of the orchestra on the
stage instead of in the pit before
the stage. This arrangement
seemed to work out admirably,
Charles E. Mills, an imposing,
commanding figure, carried his
lines with the swing, confidence
and savoir-faire of one who, in the
not far distant past, had shone
witt ucces in calcium glare. In
t~crlocutor Nils, towering above
his end men, was a figure of Her
culcan grace and strength.
He was aided and seconded by
a brilliant galaxy of end men. They
included no less than Frank O,
French, Orrie jerks, "Steve" Car
pcnter, Charles Hoernle, DIN ID.
Adams, DR.. F. o. Moore,
"Pcte" Martin, and H. c. Abbott.
They were all screaming successes.
The balladiStS in the Second
Part were Warren Peck, Roy Cal
dorwood. Ralph Howes, Mrs. Rich
ard Levasseur, DR.. John p. Tier
hty, Ray r. Wells, Miss Lillian
Richards, Harold French and Paul
Farnham. To laud one balladist
to the exclusion of any of the 9th
erS would be unfair, but Mrs.
Richard LevaSseur was at her best
in her sweet, musical voice as was
also Miss Lillian Richards.
The balladists were given a
highly decorative background by
the brilliant chorus composed of
the following Elk and "Dears'
beauties:

Earl w. Bradley, Henry c. Thor

Miss Lola French presided at the
piano with her usual skill.
A delightful feature was intro
duced toward the end of the second
part by the wee bride, pcrsonified
by Betty Lou Writers, daughter of
Exalted Ruler Harry w. Writers,
and by the wee groom, Betty BaX-
ter, tiny daughter of Leon Baxter.
The little girls scored a big hit
with the audience who forced them
to return several times. The wee
b. .do and groom were introduced
during Mr.. Howes' singing of

The Elks Frolic is repeated
again this evening at the Colonial.
