PROFESSIONAL PERFECTION IN
PREMIER Presentation OF
ELkS' MUSICAL SHOW BIMbO

production by local amateurs. The
costumes were bright, new and love-
ly. We have used some thirty or
forty adjectives in an efforts to note
some of the pleasurable things in
! the Elk's show of this year. IF We
could think of any more superlatives
they we'll might be employed. but
after all we get back to the state
| mcnt that Bimbo is a dandy go, d
show. and what reference to the
Understandings?
One setting carries the entertain
! ment through both acts: it is a CLAM
orous scene of tropical verdure, be-
| witchingly lovely. AS the curtain rolls.
up on the second act the South Sea is
| land of Bimbo is discovered bathed in
| shimmering moonlight. Because of the
great number of people in Bimbo the
/ back drop is hung way back against
! the wall. giving depth of stage sell
| dom called into use by productions
| which have shown at the Opera House.
1t is a revelation to see our well
known local business and professional
| men in their eccentric appearance as
the wives of the governor. And again
| in the raggy, jazzy army of Bimbo
to hold onto their sides with laughter.
The two group dances by the children
are most lovely and exceptionally well
executed. Miss Constance Ffynt as
! the Moth" is n charming little figure
as she dances into and away from the
| lure Of the fascinating little flames. In
i Miss Flynt, Augusta has another young
| dancer who will go far in her art, and
| her appearances are always an asSur-
I ance of "A most artistic Interpretation.
