DRAW CENESEO
IN FIRST GAME
TOURNAMENT
Rock Island Bemoans Luck That
Sends Them Against Strong
Team EARLY.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Rock Island high school quintet
will meet Geneseo in its first game
in the district high school tourna-
ment at Augustana college gym
March 2, and 4, according to the
drawings which have been receiV-
ed by Manager Clark OF the Island
ers. Geneseo admittedly Is one oi
the strongest teams in the tourna-
ment this year and unless the Is
landers display a marked reversal
of form, it looks like a quick fade
away from the scene for them.
Moline is congratulating itself
upon its luck. The Swedes drew
Manlius as their initial opponent
and the chances are they will have
no trouble wading through their
half of the brackets in Class A.
The Islanders will get another
taste of Geneseo before the tourna-
ment when the locals journey to
the Henry county city Friday night
for their second clash of the sea-
son with Captain Schultz's basket
GERS. This will be the last game
of the season for Rock Island be-
fore the tournament Both teams
will fight to the last in order to en-
ter the tournament without the bad
omen of defeat behind them.

over the fighter from the Bronx,
flooring him twice in the 18th
round.
Charley is likely to find his ST.
Patrick's day job quite chore. He
and Benny have met before. On
that occasion the Chicagoan knock
ed the champion through the ropes
with a well timed left hook. The
latter, however, came back and
crashed Charley for the count in
the 9th round of the battle. White
has had other cracks at the light
weight title. He has always been
good but not good enough and it is
doubtful after his long years in the
ring whether he is as good as he
used to be.

Ballet, capable "leads" and principals,
the Gymal Doled annual show, GIN
Bad" given at the Lyric Theater last
Sunday and Monday proved to be one
Of the most entertaining musical
revues that has ever appeared on the
local stage.
With cast of 100 people, the three
hours entertainment of five scenes
and two acts was one merry, happy
panorama of comedy, dance special
ties, minstrelsy, grand opera selec-
tions, monologues, playlets, splendid
chorus ensemble and lighting effects
of the Urban technique.
To lend the charm of musical art
to the production, the program afford
ed a lyric soprano, Mrs. S. S., Wolf
son and two tenors in Messrs. Max
Shalett and Hy Fishbein. Mrs. Wolf
son was a distinct and pleasant sur
prise in her first public appearance
giving beautiful sympathetic rendi-
ton of the aria "One Fine Day" from
Madame Butterfly. Mr.. Fishbein in
his Mandarin and Pagliacci selections,
and Mr.. Shalett in his dramatic ballad
presentations furnished musical diver
sites of high order. In addition to
these, Messrs Zollie Dwosky, Sidney
Beskin, Abe Bolter, Paul Sewer,
Francis Greenberg and Sarah Sushan-
sky sang ballads with professional
effectiveness.
In the chorus numbers Mr.. William
Shartin took first honors in the EN-
diana" number assisted by most
charming and 1.-THE youngsters. Those
who danced with him were Zelda
Goldberg, Bernice Shalett, Ann
Muehlstein, Elizabeth Polin, Lillian
Letinsky, Fannie Fishman, Bernice
Korngold and Hilda Diamond. This
number and the ballet dancers in the
Passing Parade" scene were the out
standing features of the entire play.
Those dancing the ballet were Renee
Silverman, Doris Millman, Pauline
Brill, Fanny Fishman, Clara Sher-
man, Rosetta Wolpert, Mollie Mersky,
Bernice Korngold, Leah Keifer,
Gladys Davis and Phyllis Beskin. Ali

of age and were so costumed and so
well trained that they far outshone

chorus work and dancing.
Dorothy Eisenstadt, assisted by
Evelyn Weisberg, Ethel Blat, Lorraine
Shallet, Pearl Goldman. Ann Reich
ert, Fanny Greenberg, Muriel Green
stein and Ethel Brooks were a pleas
ing chorus in the "Ma" scene. The
same chorus assisted also by Renee
Silverman and Doris Millman helped
to make the comedy of Mr.. David
Phillips most effective. All of these
young ladies gave the impression of
seasoned and we'll trained actors.
In the speciality numbers Frank
Eisenberg performed in his usual in
imitable way as ventriloquist and
the least that can be said is that Mr..
Eisenberg proved to be as good as
most professionals one sees in the
vaudeville houses. Master Irving
Feinberg danced a jazz toe dance in
the most finished manner possible.
David Phillips was the leading come
dian in speciality called "Mr. Toblit-
sky Says" Mr.. Phillips gave it the
highly professional and subtle per-
sonal touch by referring to members
of the audience present inviting them

Shallet and Miss Meier were accom-
panied at the piano by Mr.. David
Broude who also played solo. AL
together the speciality numbers
brought out range of talent that
was worth the price of admission
many persons paid to see both nights
of the show.
The chorus work was led by several
of the cast with choruses. Mr.. Abe
Bolter sang "Vamping Rose" with
the assistance of dancers who were:
Serene Polin, Birdie Hittleman, Rubye
Bart, Ann Goldvarg, Irene Joseph,
Susan Katz, Ruth Rivkin, Ida Cru
man.. Sidney Beskin led the ponies
in the "My Man" number assisted by
the following dancers: jeanette
Pink, Sarah R. Muehlstein, Pauline
Podolor, Louis M. Bush, Sarah Mod
nick, Ruth Zipperman, Hattie Giller,
and Melva Rosenberg. In the "Pass-
ing Parade" Miss Francis Greenberg
sang the role of Princess. In this
scene Misses Serene Polin, lobe
Feller, Anne Bart and Marguerite
Williamson took parts as court adj
visors. The court consisted of Doro-
thy Reichert, Francis Solomon, Sarah
Rose Liberman, Sybill Hyman and
Dorothy Abrahamson. Hy Fishbein
sang the Mandarin role. In the
"Harem" scene which was staged in
oriental opulence, Zollie Dworsky
sang the sultan role. The wives were
Harriet Rosenstein, Eva Bromberg,
Anna Segal, Esther Levinson, Mollie
Sewer. Fannie Sewer, Loretta Starr
and Florence Click. In this same
scene Hyman Ribnick had the role of
captain and Tobias Dobrin as private.
Miss Sarah Sushansky shared in the
honors with Mr.. Dworsky in singing.
Miss Nell Gertrude Silverman COM
pleted the picture of the gorgeous
harem scene with it's brilliant and
glittering costuming by dancing SUI
perbly for the sultan. Miss Silver
man, hardly ten years old. took the
audience by storm both nights of the
performance. She was a veritable
little fairy barely touching the
ground. Indeed, she was rhythm and
airy grace personified.
The opening medley was danced
and sung by the Misses Molly Segal,
Anne Bart, Birdie Hittleman. Susan
Katz, lobe Teller, Serene Polin, Ella
Braunstein, and Elsie Click and
Messrs. Abe Bolter, T. S. Dobrin,
Samuel Reisman, Joe G.. Wender. 2.
H. Dworsky, Peter A. Dworsky, Hy-
men Ribnick, and Harold Lieberman.
The speaking parts were taken by
Idell Stein, Paul Siever. Louis Berry,
Susan Wender, Max Dworsky, Hela
R. Grodnick and Dave Cherness.
The final act called the "Gymal
Doled Country Club" gave an oppor-
tunity for display of added talent and
in many instances the chance to inn
prove any effort made earlier in the
play. This act did not materially aid
the show but added the personal con-
tact with the audience which so great
ly enhanced it's effectiveness. In this
scene the black face comedians were
Dave Phillips. William Shartin. To-
bias Dobrin, Dave Bloom, Frank Eli
senberg. Sammy Reisman. Those who
entertained were. the black face come
dams and Abe Bolter. Sarah Sushan-

mum number of men eligible would
be about $4,000. Today there nre
over 100000 men In training, $4,000
awaiting assignment. and 425. 900
men who have registered for voca-
tional training.
The program adopted to carry out
the rehabilitation OF our disable vet
Grams was to utilize the existing edu-
cational institutions and also to place
the men in training on the job. which
was called placement training. As
Il result. there were 3.213 men in
training on June 80. 1919, and 40
1913 on June 80. 1920 of which 10,-
900 were in placement training.
THE NEW BUREAU
On August ., 1921, that division of
the Federal Board for Vocational Edu
cation, which prior TO that date had
charge of tho rehabilitation of disabled
soldiers. was consolidated with the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, as n
result of the passage of the Sweet
Bill.
! Col. Charles r. Forbes became di-
rector of the consolidated soldier re-
lief agency OF the government. the
United States Veterans Bureau under
this legislation. He discovered <hat
istered prior to Il is legislation was not
giving the best results. The men In
training changed from trade to trade,
from shop to shop. from institution to
institution. A very small number of
men had been rehabilitated In the cm-
ployment which they selected. or was
selected for them. as their vocational
objective. He also found that there
was no supervision over large num-
hcr of men in placement training
Those men who had entered
institutinal training in established
universities and colleges were expert
encing the least difficulty. These men
who are studying professions in we'll
known universities will continue in
those institutions.
The establishment OF the chillicothc
school. and others of a similar ma
ture to be established In the future,
will overcome many Of the difficulties
in tho way of the present system of
vocational training. Instead of hav-
ing men scattered among several thou
sand shops and private schools they
will be trained in a few centralized
government schools.
For the purpose OF obtaining expert
erced advisors. Col. Forbes called n
rehabilitation conference. composed of
leading educators and vocational In
structors. to meet with him in Wash
ington on December %. 30, 81, 1921 This
conference has contributed valuable
data on this rehabilitation program.
