SHOW AND BALL,
Firemen's Cabaret MinstreIs a Great


|
| Success.
The firemen's cabaret Ministries
Monday night was presented before
one of the record crowds of the year
at Hancock hall. The success of the
MINISTRIES can be credited to four
factors-first of all to Albert Davis,
who certainly deserves word of
praise for preparing and directing
it; second, the special stage scenery
arranged by Antonio Cordini, which
did much to enliven the show
third, Karin Eliason at the piano,
who filled an important position in a
way worthy of mention; and last,
but not least, to the members of the
cast who one and all have worked
hard to make the show a success,
and who certainly put it over" with
a snap.
Laughter, sadness and grace,
each had its place in the program.
The dancing girls in sparkling cos
tunes were at their best in Dance
o-Mania," and the Creation
Dance" by Lillian Thomas, was
thoroughly enjoyed. One of the hits
of the evening was 1.-THE Prisoners
Song" by Carroll Moon. Mr.. Moon
sang it admirably. Realism was
added by prison bars and convict's
uniform. In Indian costumes, Harry
Parker and Isabel Emery sang the
'Indian Love Call" delightfully."-.
Laughter spread like contagious
disease, when Matte Royal and
James Coughlin sang when You
and | Were Seventeen" Miss Royal
also gave a dance that would have
drawn a crowd in itself. Everett
Royal proved that he could still
reach low C in the song, when Big
Profundo Sang Low c." The Ar
gentine tango, by Antonio Cordini
and Lillian Thomas, was a pleasing
glimpse of southern dance steps. All
of the parts were well filled.
The endmen outdid themselves.
and kept the hall in an uproar. The
business section of Ellsworth was
swept from end to end by their
Jokes, and also the side streets. The
chorus ably backed the singing, and
was appreciated by everyone.
After the show, the floor was
cleared for dancing which lasted un-
til l O'Clock in the morning. Mary |
Moore's orchestra of Bar Harbor |
played.
