METHODIST AID HISTORY IS TOLD
AT MEETING BY MRS. J. P. DUNN

The meeting of the Fourth division
Of the Methodist Ladies Aid which
met Thursday afternoon with Mrs.
j. ?. Dunn at her home on Third
Street celebrated the forty-fourth AN
niversarv of the establishing OF a
Ladies Aid in the Methodist Church
Of this city. A large crowd was en-
tertained at this meeting by Mrs.
Dunn and her daughter, Mrs. + P.
Quain. Several special musical Nun
bers which were greatly appreciated
by the members of the society were
given. Mrs. Dunn, who is the only
remaining woman of the original or
ganiZation in Bismarck, read a spien
did history Of the Aid in its early
days at this meeting. Extracts from
the paper will prove interesting to
many who have not lived here so
long.
If we should turn back the hands
Of time to March 1880, we would find
a humble little home on the corner
Of Sixth and Meggs Streets (now call
ed Broadway where the Auditorium
now stands. You would find in this
home a few determined women who
had met for the purpose Of organic
ing Methodist Episcopal Aid Socie-
ty. Among this number there might
have been three church members. the
others did not belong to any chu"ch
nor did they even profess any ieli-
gion. Little did they dream OF the
achievements and success that would
grow out Of that meeting of that
little band Great oaks from little

Funeral Rites
Largely Attended

Funeral services for the late
Thomas MCGOWAN were held this
morning at $3.50 from st Mary's Pro-
Cathedral with the funeral mass be-
ing said by Father Stag. The large
attendance was a mute tribute to the
memory of the deceased who was a
Civil War Veteran and old pioneer
of this city. Mr.. MCGOWAN was far
advanced in years being between S5
and 80 years of age.
The casket was covered with beau
tiful floral gifts and draped with
the Stars and Stripes. A military es-
cort was provided by Company A and
resident Civil War veterans acted as
honorary escort in the funeral train.
Interment was made in St. Mary S
cemetery.

TIVOLI-
Feature Program. .

We have for some time labored
under cloud of doubt as to
which side Of the argument to
take in that worldwide discussion,
Are We Our Brothers Keepers"
For the sake Of the occasion we
are going to jump off the fence
take a decisive attitude, and beg
you, unless you want to miss one
of the best programs of the year,
to go to the Tivoli this week.
The de luxe features are UNI
usual. Quite the best thing, how
ever, is the ballet advertisement
conceived by Mile. Desiree Lubovt
ska and staged by Barrett Nc
Cormack, entitled THE King
Hungers At Eastertime." This
clever and beautiful little act will
be appreciated by everyone from
the kiddies up. Two special vocal
'numbers-Isabella Fosta, colora-
tura soprano, in a cycle of songs,
is very pleasing-and the Loos

pations, get q big hand.

funniest thing we have seen in

is. fundamentally, a racing pic
ture and carries one back to the
Wallie Reid pictures. Reginald
Denny proves himself an artist
In the subtle comedy stuff. In
the story he is Jimmy, a chauf-
reur, who precedes his millionaire
employer to California in a Renco
racer to reserve rooms for him.
His identity is mistaken for that

The usual complications result,
but in the end Jimmy wins a ten.

Cherry Blossom Time the

light opera, having fbr its settings
scenes which are typically Wash
ington, was given a royal send
off last night before large audi
ence at the National Theater.
When we consider the fact that
, the cast, Is an all-WasI1ington
aggregation, making no pretense
to be professionals" the pre-
miere of, Cherry Blossom Time"
is something to marvel at.
The music is tuneful, the lyrics
and book are snappy and to the
point and the. settings are ex-,
quisite. The. second scene of Act
II is especially noteworthy. 1t is
faithful reproduction of the
Tidal Basin, surrounded by gorge
GUS Japanese cherry trees, with
the Washington Monument tower
ing Enthusiastically in the back
ground. To lend the scene more
local color, several motor cars,
containing, we presume, jazz-mad
youngsters on petting parties. are
drawn up amongst the blossom
laden trees. The setting is a
work of art.
The role of Blossom is essayed
by tiny Evelyn Gribben. Senator
klevahr, the whiphand of WASH.
ington officialdom, Is admirably
portrayed by ]. Frank Dugchn.
Lawrence <. Downey is Senator
Sellem Skeemit, newly elected ito
Congress and impoverished by Ms
campaign. Joseph E. Cogan fills
the role of the speed cop. a
genial soul totally unlike any
speed cop it has been our mis-
fortune to meet.
A slender, easy-to-look-upon
young gentleman is Everett
Stems Hardell, who. as Hal Haver,
private secretary to Senator
Klexahr. is deeply enamoured of
Blossom.

ton earlier in the bill.
G. s. Melvin came out with
typical English music hall humOr,
which we have found consists Of
character parodies, monologues,
funny little British dance steps
and songs that are sung with
amazing speed. Some of Melvin's
work didn't get across to every
body, because of unfamiliarity, but
he took several bows on his excel

CHERRY BLOSSOM. TIME
MAKES BOW

Pep and personality was inject
ed into the role of chaperon by
Mrs. Alexander G. Bentley, who,
incidentally, has a voice of wide
range and clarity of tone.
Rosemary Rue, the Oriental
Bootlegger" and discarded sweet
heart of Klevahr, was portrayed
with dramatic ,fevor by Helen
Marie KoontZ.
The chorus work was excellent,
although closer attention to the
conductors baton would improve
the attacks. The double sextet-
six girls and six young men-was
delightful. Every one of them is
a singer Of ability, besides having
good looks and stage presence in
abundance. The personnel of the
double sextet included Elsie
Schulze, Dorothy d. Wilson, Eva
Fridell, Marguerite Petit, Gayle
Hunt. Gladys Hunt. r. r. Hend-
ley, Edward c. Halbach, Victor
Russell, William E. Raymond,
Wesley B. Peckham and E. Larry
Zuch.
Gwendolyn Breithaupt had the
role Of little Olive Green. the
vamp, and she did 1t to perfection.
Donna Maria's ballet did some
terpsichorean novelties which were
well received.
Now word about the authors.
Rollin Bond, director of the Wash
ingtonians and a musician of wide
reputation, composed the score to

GAYETY BUSTING
OFF THE s. R. 0.
SIGN

Washington burlesque devotees
are having a look this; week at
Lets Co., the Fred Clark show
that is booked to spend the sum-
mer on Broadway. That they ap-
proved it was attested by the
tuinultuous applause which last
nights big house, showered upon
the principals and the nifty chorus.
Seldom has a Gayety show been
received with greater favor, and
House Manager Harry Jarboe has
the old s r 0 sign in readiness
of a record week.
Lets Co. has all the elements
that make a show of this kind a
success. The comedy is clean as
well as humorous, the songs are
numerous, and what is more to
the point they are allotted to
people who really can sing, while
the dancing would do credit to
one Of the big revues. Most of
the principals are new to Wash
ington audiences, but they jump
ed into instant favor.
Nanny King, dialect come
dian, with q style all his own,
is a fast worker, and is given
plenty Of opportunities to do his
stuff. King is refreshing change
from the average run of burlesque
comedians and is assured of
warm welcome whenever he re.
turns to the Capital.
The feminine honors go to Mae
Janese and Florence Kane. At
tractive in appearance and pos
sessing good voices and dancing
ability, they carried the house by
storm with their offerings. Nan
Palon was effective in a group of
songs. Helen Flynn, an acrobatic
dancer, got big hand with a
series Of Egyptian dances, while
Burton Carr, the straight, man,
was helpful hid in keeping the
show moving at a fast pace.
Sonny Thompson's colored-> en-.
tertainers, featuring Mabel KEMP
in songs and dances, rocked the
house with a musical turn. The
antics of the drummer in this
troupe kept everybody in an up
roar. George Stevens wrestling
bear, Little Jim, furnished one of
the most laughable acts of the
kind seen here in a long time.
The bear seemed to enjoy the
fun as much as did his audience.
Topping off the show, which is
deliberately mounted, is one Of the
most attractive choruses in bur.
lesque. Clark has picked them
with care, and they are an i'm.
portant factor in putting the
snow across. H. w.
