against Emilio de Gogorza is that he

is the complaint that comes from all
parts of the country that GOgorza
does not give enough recitals. But
he says that he cannot do the study

Novelty Jazz Dance
Planned For TONIGHT

Nessrs Kendall Davis and HaZen
Hill promise lots Of mirth, melody,
and foot shaking jazz for their nov
city dance to be held this evening at
Union Hall.
Dancing is to start at 10 o'clock in
stead of the conventional s o'clock
opening, and will continue until one
A. NJ. The reason for this two hour
leeway is that these gentlemen have
secured from Drake and Walkers
troupe their inimitable colored jazz
artists, who will dispense tuneful-
ness for dancing after their act is
ended at the Opera House.
These tan boys from the Southland
have way of putting pep into dance
music that is distinctly their own.
and it is expected that big crowd
will be present to trip the light fan
tastic to the tune of their offerings.
