LITTLE JOHNNY JONES"
CAST TO Be ENTERTAINED

The meml ers of the cast OF Little
Johnny Jones'" the clever musical
conSeay which made such a hit when
it was presented in ST. Mary's Hall.
here more than month ago, will lie
entertained on Friday evening. jan
nary u, at the Knights Of Columbus
clubhouse on Compromise street.
Those who took part in the produc-
ton, as we'll as all others who in any
way assisted in making it the instan-
taneous success that it was. are cor
daily invited TO lie present at the
entertainment as the guests of the
Knights of Columbus and the Cath
olic Daughters of America.
The efforts of those participating
in this production were surely amply
rewarded by the success with which
it was received here. the hall at ST.
Mary's being filled with a thoroughly
enthusiastic audience at every per-
formance of the musical comedy.
Nevertheless, the Knights and Daugh-
tors feel that some more material re-
compense than the applause of their
fellowtownsmen is due the young men
and women who by their ability and
untiring energy succeeded in putting
across such delightful production.
Consequently, the idea of entertain
ing them at the clut house has been
evolved and it is hoped that the pres
ence of all in any way connected with
Little Johnny Jones" will make to-
morrow evening an occasion of gaiety
and pleasure not soon to be forgot
