as per schedule, and notwithstand-
ing the very inclement weather
played to practically full house.
1t was a thoroughly enjoyable per-
formance from beginning to end.
We believe that the hardware
stores had been ransacked to Sc
cure enough instruments" for the
occasion, and they appeared in great
variety, from the zinc tub drum to
the stove pipe saXophone. with egg
beateTs, br0oms, mops, skillets, etc,
each being utilized for part in the
wonderful ensemble. Kazobs were
used TO make the music on.
Their entrance upon the stage,
with Nine. kitchenette, Mrs. Mabel
Thomas drum major. in red and
white. out Jacksoning Wayne jack
son. NJ. s. NJ. drum major. at his
hest. was most imposing. Mile.

her part in the performance, the
reading OF the romantic and pathet-
ic story upon " hich the orchestral
presentation was made. Nine.
Trenchin0 Cheferino, Mrs. Chas.

fluency, one could see why she hau
carried of medals from various
places. Mile. Andantino Pianissimo,

the piano throughout the entertain

concrete form of their satisfaction
with the culinary aggregation,

to the director, Miss Martha Sher-
man going upon the stage to present
it.
Between the first and last half of
the program some special numbers
were given-a fine selection by Miss

A
ing, and one by the Northrup boys
Edgar and Dean on the saxophone
and violin, with Miss Erwin pianist.
Dwight Miller furnished UNIQUE
number in the evenings program by
appearing and walking across the
stage with his little white dog, and
disappearing. When the audience
had recovered from the shock, and
saw some ladies of the Kitchen Cab
met grinding out sausages a little
later. to the mournful strains of
Where, Oh Where Has MY Little
Dog Cone by the orchestra they
knew what had become of the dog.
Another feature of the evening
and one that brought down the
house. was the entrance of tiny Bill

regulation costume as the bride and
groom The others of the bridal
party that advanced to the orchestra
presentation of Here Comes the
Bride. etc. were Billy Bell and

ner that was to have been, Betty
Harris was so overcome with emo
tion because there were $50 many
people" that she wouldn't emerge
from behind the scenes

was one of the very best home tai
ent shows ever given here. and

missionary society under whose aus
pices it was given. The entertain
ment was put on under the direction
of Miss Blanche Danford. Mrs. c. !
