Next Week.
BEST or LOCAL latent

Next week Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, the theatrical event Of the
season viii be ushered into reality by
the fifty young men and women who
are taking part in the Elks' Jollies-ef
1922. The Rhode Opera House has
been leased for the three nights, re-
hearsals are going on each night and
the production is rapidly reaching the
stage. This miscellaneous diversion
presented annually by The Elks of
Kenosha. and their friends, has the
assurance of unstinted support thru
its previously established excellent
reputation.
Staged by the Joe Bren Production
company, professional directors of
Chicago, with its pfodigious scenic
and costume equipment, the Jollies
approach ornamentally the best tour
ing organization And beyond the ques-
tion of doubt it surpasses the casts
seen here with frequent travelling at
fractions. It-is we'll known fact that
there has been dirth Of commendable
road companies, due to unprosperous
business conditions and the unwill-
ingness of theatrical managers to pay
both large salaries and increased trans
portation rates, and what could be
more desirable than to be entertained
by our own t6wns-people under the
direction of trained professionals, es-
pecially when we have talent here
equally as good as some and much
better than most professionals that
have visited US in the past.
