GIRLS MINISTRIES
A REAL TREAT TO
GARDINER FOLKS

The best efforts Of the weather man
could not keep away the crowds that
packed the Gardiner High school audi
torium to the doors last evening when
Gardiner people were treated to dey-
cided novelty in the minstrel line-a
girls minstrel show. In this instance
something new proved to be something
that was a success, for the girls put
over a show that ritaled the attempts
of any that local audiences have ever
seen. The background for the circle
was striking checkerboard of black
and white and the performance was di-
vided into two main parts, the min
strels coming last. The whole affair
was directed and staged by David F.
Kelley, and music was furnished by
George Manson and Three O'clock Or
chestra. For the minstrels. Mrs. Mad
cline acted as interlocutor, with CO.
rinne Salley, Geneva Roberst, Joan Fa-
briza, Anna Rellis, Irene Baker and
Julia kearns as ends, and their work
kept the audience in laughter. The
song numbers were all excellent and
the artists were encored several times.
The production will be repeated to-
| night, and seats should be procured
Immediately. After the show tonight
there will be a dance in the gym, mu-
sic for which will be furnished by
| Mansions orchestra.
