BOYS CLUB SHOW
 DECIDED SUCCESS Five Organizations Provide
 Talent for Entertainment LARGE CROWD IS PRESENT
Northtnston School Plans May Field Day-Tabs Minstrcls To Journey To Cheshire For Annual Spree Local Youth Sails for Nicaragua.

A large attendance filled Lloyd hall, Kensington. last evening. when the five leading clubs Of the town presented vaudeville performance for the benefit of the kensington Boys club. Those taking part in- cluded the Kensington League of Women Voters. Bolton -kasica post, American Legion. the kensinston Athletic club, tho Lad1es' Auxiliary and tho Kensington Boys club.
 Preceded by an overture by Me- Keon's orchestra which played throughout the performance. the ,kensington League of Women Vot- CTS opened the performance with 'The Magic Hopper" q sketch which brought plenty of applause The theme of this playlet concerned 2 magic machine which turned the characters into what they desired to be. One of the outstanding hits of this part of the program was the dancing of little Miss Deming who fitted gracefully about the stage as a ballet dancer in the first part and as a jazz baby in the second part of the sketch. Miss Deming's danc- ing brought plenty of expressions of appreciation from the audience and she was forced to respond to several encores. Others taking part in the sketch were Miss Loretta Mckeon. Mrs. Frances DeMers and Mrs. Inez Williams. Mrs. Marion Goodwin. Miss Anna Nelson. tiny Virginia Goodwin, Mrs. Florence Tryon. Mrs. Vera DeWolfe. Phyllis senning and Mrs. Mary Lardner. Mrs. Gladys Eagerly and Mrs. Edna s. Damon accompanied the sketches on tho piano.
 Following the offering Of the League of Women Voters. Laurence, the magician. took the stage and proceeded to mystify his audience for the next half hour. Laurence. a suave young gentleman in faultless evening clothes, proceeded to draw silk flags out of nowhere. silver coins out of the curtains and tables on the stage. and pounds of rice out of empty boxes. Given a. ribbon, firmly held by two youngsters. pick ed from the audience, he cut the middle. burned the edges of the cut and healed the severed ribbon as neatly as any seamstress with the aid of nothing more than his hands. He earned a good share of the ap- plause of the evening. this being his first appearance in this town.
 A shadow operation. given by the boys of the Kensington Boys club, proved amusing. It was tho case of hastily eaten doughnut and the shadows took the audience all through the terrors of an operation which included about everything in the physicians handbook.
 The Legion offeting, Footit and Porter from East Berlin. brought on the stage 8 couple of clever black face comedians. Rapid fire comedy lines proved popular with the audi ence and they got plenty of laughs.
 The show closer, given by the members of the Ladies' auxiliary. was entitled Those Husbands of Ours'' and included Miss Katherine MoKeon. Mrs. Paul G. Baker. Mrs. Adolph W. Schultz, Mrs. Frank Nc
