lhe new policy OF the Colonial Theatr
of presenting vaudeville on Wednesday

by the patrons.

cles, cooked food, aprons, candy, pottec

ment will be given al O'Clock with Sc.
lectons by Miss Beulah Young, pianist

bot, baritone, also demonstrations by the

Company X Capt. Harry A. Foster, is
forming base ball team, as they already
have some good material, and more men
are coming in right away. Capt Foster
will coach. The basket ball team from
Company X. will play the team from the
City National Bank Friday evening,
April It'll, and good sport is expected.
The Company has been divided into two

ate Randall! Knox of the other
Eleanor, the elder daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Earle l.. Talbot, observed her thir-
/ teenth birthday last Friday afternoon by
entertaining a number of her girls friends
at her home on Union street. Tn after
noon was spent with games and at 5
O'Clock delicious refreshments, including
birthday cake, were served from dain
tily decorated table, the favors being
tiny chickens tied with pink ribbons.
The little hostess was the recipient of
number of pretty gifts. The guests were
julia Chalmers, Viraie Hogan, Helen
Payson, Hildegard Rogers, Elena Shute,
Florence Wilcox. Ernestine Weber and
her younger sister, Mildred Talbot.
Surely no picture has ever I cen put
over in such a classy manner as was the
Bonnie Brier Bush at the Colonial last
Thursday. AS one entered the theatre
they were greeted by the ushers who
were dressed in Scotch costume and as
prologue to the play Miss julia Chalmers
and Miss Ernestine Weber, two of Bel
fast's graceful little dancers, put over
some Scotch dances in costume. They
were repeatedly encored. During the
| filming of the play the Colonial orchestra
played the Scotch airs that fitted the
scents exactly. AS the leader, Mr.. Will
liam Inglis, is native of the country OF
the thistle, and knew how to put them
over as only a Scotchman can, every
body went away feeling that they had
/ lived the play made famous by Ian Mac
Laren.'

Tbayer. The outlook of the Band this
coming season is exceptionally good The
second in the series OF afternoon concerts
at the Colonial Theatre was held last
Sunday with large audience present
WAC received every number with gener
Gus applause. The program and work
was even better than the first concert.
Leroy Greene's cornet solo, The Holy
City, was especially fine. Charles F.
Hammons was obliged to cancel his solo
numbers as the music he was to use did
not arrive until Monday. He has been
requested to sing at the next concert,
which will probably be held at p. m.
Sunday, April 9th. Plans are being made
to have late Sunday afternoon concerts
at the City Park the coming summer.
This will meet with the general approval
of all as there is abun lance of room to
park autoes and the walk is always fa-
vorite one to those who care for that
form of exercise. 1t is hoped their plans
may materialiZe.
