MIRRORETTES

The first night of the New Year
brought light fall of snow.
Some nifty appearance the band bows
made in their new uniforms.
Corridor privileges were granted the
inmates on New Years Day.
Protestant services were held in the
chapel Sunday morning by Chaplain Ben
son.
Owing to the holiday season the
Pierian Chautauqua Circle held no meeting
last Sunday.
Special communion services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Benson, prior to the regular
service, on last Sunday.
If any inmate who is without 1928
calendar, and desires one, will put in
request with his officer we shall be pleased
to send him THE MIRROR 1928 calendar.
Wanted to exchange the Illinois State
Journal, Atlanta Constitution, Minneapolis
Farmers Tribune, Tacoma Times and
Saturday Post for Ell Paso Herald, Bill
board, Toledo Blade or any other big
town papers. B-372.
The Ladies Auxiliary of Saltwater re-
membered the ex-service men in our insti-
tuition with Christmas and New Year
cards. The inmates who received cards
desire to express their thanks to the ladies
of the auxiliary for their thoughtful re-
membrance
AN exceptionally fine picture show
and splendid concert by the M. S. P.
Concert Band were the principal features
of our New Years entertainment. Prof.
Reichkitzer our musical director, deserves
a great deal of credit and is to be con-
graduated upon the remarkable musical
organization he has succeeded in building
up in this institution.
The announcement at dinner Saturday,
by Warden J. J. Sullivan, that as it was
the last of the year and such a beautiful
day he would give us two hours yard
privilege was received with great acclaim.
Needless to say that the time in the yard
was enjoyed to the utmost. Another veri-
fcation of the statement that unexpected
pleasures are the greatest"

happiness decided by twelve good men

The mirror., 1923-01-04
By Mr.. X. L. M.

Hurricanes Gal must have been very
interesting We knew that it was a melo-
drama, but had never heard that is was so
good that he viewers were compelled to
cling to their seats with both hands. Ap-
parently this is the case however. Or,
perhaps the action was so swift and thrill
instilling that the ecstatic shivers playing
up and down the spinal column prevented
the bringing of hands together in that
fashion that creates, not applause entirely
but little appreciation as well.
The band was not playing for the
amusement and entertainment of the few
visitors in the balcony, but for YOU. And
you failed to show the slightest apprecia-
ton. You have been wondering why the
band doesn't give concerts for the inmates
as well as for the outside public. If YOU
can't figure the reason, now, here is the
explanation. The outside people appre-
ciate in the approved manner, while you
might have ben sitting on your hands.
Think it over.
The same is true of the singers who
were once part of the Sunday morning
show. Recently there have been no extra
features, but there might have been had
the inmate body shown in tangible man
ner, that they wanted it. True, there are
no Carusos or John McCormicks with us,
and we now have no vocalists who con-
slider themselves on a par with these artists.
There is sincere wish to give you some
thing extra in the way of entertainment
On the part of any inmate who sings for
you. If you find it impossible to applaud
his efforts, at least have the decency to
keep still.
Enough of that Lloyd Hamilton was
fine mouthpiece but we'd hate to have
our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness decided by twelve good men
and true if he was presenting our case.
Johnny Hines is good, undeniably, but
few more atrocities like this installment
of the Torely series will do his prestige
no good. A slapstick comedy needs no
plot, but he is not slapstick comedian.
The Torely stories, as they appeared in the
papers, were good, but the humor was en-
tirely dependent upon the sprightly con-
yersation of the characters, therefore they
lose their punch when presented upon the
screen.
