1t would indeed take the grey
matter Of a Solomon to select from
the above bunch the very top notch
er of all. because each and every
performer added his own special
share towards the sum total of Il
rounding over evenings fun.
Even as the ELS Minstrel Boys
quote: ITO have given an evening
Of Joy, mirth and music, to have
touched the 'heartstrinss of one
single person-thercby creating
keencr insight into the joys of this
life: if it may be our good fortune
to accomplish the above-our efforts
will have been well repaid. The
Elks' Minstrcls Boys"
After the Tuesday evening show,
special cars will be run out on the
Winthrop and Togus lines. THIS is
hy way Of announcement for the
benefit Of those who would be con-
vcnicnccd by the same.
But to como back to the subject at
heart, the show, lets say this in
closing, that the show, as whole,
was most artistic production. was
tip top credit to the boys who
worked for it and will go down in
the Elk dom annals as a winner.
