ALPINE CLUB VODVIL

The Alpine Club Vodyl, presented at Elk's hall last evening was one of the best entertainments of the kind ever seen in Skagway. Every effort had been made by the com mittee in charge to make the even iug's show the exact counterpart of high class professional Vodvil.
 Almost every kind of known vod- vii entertainment was included in the show. Nut" comedy, male quartette selections. comedy skit, special dances, monologue stun, spe- cial artists number, and a cabaret stunt were all on the program.
 The cabaret scene was the finale number and fitting end for a fine show. The well trained chorus, at- tractively gowned, lively, clever dances. good soloists and the latest music all went to make this num- Der alone worth the price of admis- sion Every other part of the Fod' vii was equally good.
 At eight o'clock sharp, Friday evening. May 26th, 1922, at Elks hall the curtain rose on the open ing number of the Alpine Club Vol vii. Everybody was there to enjoy it. It was a show one could not wei afford to miss.
