The large and commodious Paro-
chial hall N Tennyson was filed to
capacity Sunday evening when Branch
No. AZ, Catholic Knights OF Wisconsin
enjoyed themselves in their annual
festivity. The occasion brought to-
gether nearly, if not all of the mem
Ders Of the Branch, including their
wives and families and hosts of
friends. The evening was spent in
various ways as noted below. A ban
Quet of sauerkraut and Weiner wurst
prepared in the old German way was
INDUCED in to the delight of everyone
who ayailed themselves of the pleas
ure OF attending this joyous event.
There was but one thing missing at
the festive board to make this pleas
ant get-together, German old-faShiOn
ed time, was the absence of the good
old time lager beer that we all love
but, can't get for love nor money.
Other features of the evenings pleas
ures was the first number on the pro-
gram, a selection by the Musical Pals
Orchestra, which played other appre-
ciative pieces at intervals, throughout
the evening. The girl students OF the
Parochial high school staged a one
act drama entitled "The Aunt from
California" The girls acted their
parts in masterful way and drew
great applause from the audience
Joe Walsh, amused the people with
comic songs and sayings. The title Of
his songs were Martin Gallagher and
Mrs. Sheen.
Miss Bernice Schwab in vocal So
10, "A Little Town Nearby" was well
rendered. A selection "The Young
Man Waited" by Miss Camille Lieb-
fried, was well spoken and in very
distinct manner A song entitled
Happy" by Master Bernard Schiffman
was sang in very pleasing manner.
Many other song were rendered by the
audience at intervals throughout the
evening. What would of been the
croWning feature of the evenings en-
tcrtainment flashed in the pan at the
last hour. Three elderly ladies were
to have attired themselves in true old
fashion German style in dress with
songs and gestures characteristic to
ola German woman's ways. But at
the last hour gave up the sport, much
TO the disappointment of the large au-
dience of people present, who antici-
pated great pleasure in this act.
Little Camille Liebfried was on the
program for a vocal solo that she sang
remarkably well. Many songs, both in
German and English were sung
throughout the evening by the crowd.
But the crOWning event Of the evening
was the German duets sang by Mrs.
Frank Siepker and Mrs. Henry Stohl-
meyer, both possessing fine vocal
voices. They were dressed in the old
German style, minus the wooden
shoes, and wore white laps that had
resemblance of the night caps our
grandmothers wore. They presented
a real type of two old German women,
and their songs and actions as such,
brought down the house. The steps to
the music of their songs was remark
able, and showed the true German
spirit.
