There have been Ministries ana min
strels in this city, but the program Of
fered by Manager Harry Jones for the
baseball benefit to be held in City hall
May % bids fair to eclipse them all as
far as real entertainment goes. Man
ager Jones has been very persistent in
his efforts to obtain the best OF local
talent for this feature and has BEEN
highly successful in this attempt. The
best the city has to offer will put
forth their supreme efforts to make
the baseball benefit entertainment the
banner event Of the season.
Madeline Fox, youthful dancer Of no
mean repute in local circles and gener-
ally regarded as one OF the coming
dancers in the younger set, will give
an exhibition OF the waxed floor art
which should be we'll received. Miss
Fox received her knowledge Of dane
ing from Miss Dorothy Elise Gray. hav-
ing appeared in the Heart of the
Storm" an original composition by
Miss Gray and one Of the features of
the Carnival Ball last winter. She has
also appeared before the public as a
solo dancer on several occasions.
Elwood "Zuzu' Golf, who rocked tie
audience with his witty monologue at
the U. G. 7. Minstrels in Portland, has
been secured to cheer the local lovers
of mirth with his monologue act which
has been a decided success wherever
Mr.. Goff has consented to act in this
role. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Golf made a great hit with the theatre
goers in this city when he made his APP
pearance in the American Legion Min
strels. This act should bring con-
slant roar from the audience during
it's only too short duration. and should
be worth the price Of admission even
without the aid Of the numerous other
stars.
Omer Pou1in, who needs no introduce
ton to lovers of dancing in this city
as a very clever exponent OF the
French dances Of yore, such as the
buck and wing, Halitant clog and nu-
merous other soft shoe steps requiring
both poise and skill, will liven his al
ready scintillating act by a few choice
acrobatic stunts which should be ap-
preciated by both old and young.
Last but not least the Girl with the
Radio Mind" will both mystify and
amuse her audience by some remark
able mind reading. The radio lady
will be assisted in her act by Professor
verrill. This lady promises a great
treat to the audience when she will
dabble in the black art and inform
; those present as to just what their
names are and will endeavor to discern
objects without the usual process OF
using her eyes.
These vaudeville acts will be the
feature of the first part Of the eve
ming and will be separated by several
| dance numbers by the ever popular
Douglas Melody Men. The Melody Men
will play for the dance in the latter
part of the evening and everybody who
attends should go home happy In the
thought that they have materially aid
ed the Millionaires merely by honorlns
the officials of the Augusta Baseball
Association with their presence at City
hall on May %.
Everything Is capab1y managed by
energetic and persevering committees
and nothing has been left undone to
make this entertainment the epoch
marker of the year. The following men
have made this event possible and are
the gentleman to thank after the af-
fair: Advertising committee, Arthur
Savage and George Weber: dancing,
r. z. Beane and c. p. Kinsman; enter
tainment, Harry Hanks and a capable
staff Of assistants: tickets, George
Beckett and w. II. Condon.-Adv.
