known as the name OF a play, but
the phrase might we'll be applied to
the big social event of the month,

new original players Is that Ritz
Radio Orchestra. and best of all the
whole affair is for a worthy cause.
Everybody is working together to
make this affair a success second
only to the Masquerade Ball. The
Shrine Club has given the use OF
their splendid hall, because the
Shriners realize the worthiness or
the cause, everybodys buying tick
cts, and the best part of 1t is that
the pasteboards are going to be used
Tuesday night, they are not going
to repose in the vest pocket for a
week or two, they are going to be
handed to the doorkeeper in ex-
change for an evenings pleasure and
entertainment. One of the big fea-
lures will be speciality dances by
Phil ST. Lawrence, a member OF the
orchestra who has won fame as q
novelty artist all over the New Eng
land circuit. The Forty Club is the
medium through which you may eX-
change your change for real
