A Delightful Evening
.Ocala and surrounding communities
are again indebted to Mr. E. G.. Ben
nett of the Temple for another even
ing of great enjoyment, for on We'd
nesday night when he brought to his
popular play house the favorites, the
( Royal Scotch Highlanders," he scor-
ed another big hit. This organization
of splendid musicians has played in
our city before, and has always great
| ly pleased a large number of people
Indeed these musicians are consider
ed by many to be the leading favor
| it's. Until Wednesday night, howev-
! er, they had only been heard as
band, but On this night they gave
superb vaudeville show. Every num-
| Der rendered by these entertainers
was encored and greeted with bursts
of applause by the large audience
present.
! Each number on the vaudeville pro-
gram was excellent, SO much so that
no one number was enjoyed more
than another. Harold Stocton, the
bird imitator, and George Frebrough,
the xylophonist, were among the best
numbers on the program, and both
were called back a number of times.
Joe Kiljoy in his skating act drove
away the blues and made life funny
for some time. He is a splendid per-
former
The living sculptors, and the sketch
by Joe Browning and Company were
also good numbers.
When the old time favorite Bobbie
Broiler, came on the stage he was
greeted with burst of applause from
the crowded house. He gave a num-
Der of his Scotch ballads that greatly
pleased everyone
When the Royal Scotch Highland
ers' return to our city they will al
ways receive hearty welcome by all
as they certainly put on a delightful
and clean show. Thanks to Mr.. Ben
nett for securing them
The many friends of Miss Dixonia
Roberts, who formerly resided here,
are delighted to welcome her back
again, and will be glad to know that
she will make her home here again.
She has accepted a position with the
Commercial Bank, to succeed Miss
Edna Supple, now Mrs. Frazier.
On account of this week being Holy
Week the Ocala social calendar has
been very quiet. Today is Good Fri
day, the most holy of all days in the
| Episcopal and Catholic churches. A
large part of the day is devoted to
church services and by fasting. Good
Friday is the supreme crisis of the
Lenten season, and brings to close
the forty days of Lent. This is fol-
lowed on Sunday by Easter, which is
the brightest day in the church calen-
dar. its significance being that of the
resurrection of. Christ.
Mr.. j. L. Lewis, who makes his
home at the Bonita Fishing Club.
spent Tuesday in Ocala on a combined
business and pleasure trip. He is do
ing many things at the club to make
| it more attractive for the members
and their families.
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip G. Murphy, who
have made their home for the past
few years in Ocala have gone to Avon
Park, where in the future they will
reside. Ocala indeed hates to part
with this popular couple, but the good
wishes of their host of Ocala friends
will follow them wherever they go.
After pleasant winter spent at
Belleview, Mrs. Florence Wells re-
-urned to her home in Brooklyn, N
Z. She will be greatly missed both
