COMMERCIAL CLUES ANNUAL
ENTERTAINMENT GOES
OVER BIG

Before an audience that filled every
seat, the White Bluffs Commercial
Club presented its annual show at the
high school auditorium last Saturday
night.
The entertainment this year was ad-
vertised as a vaudeville and the pro-
gram was made up of music and spe-
cialty acts, each one different and
complete in itself.
The show opened promptly at eight
o'clock with six numbers by the White
Bluffs Band, the first of which was
America" With half dozen ex-
ceptions the 26 piece band is made up
entirely of school pupils whose knowl-
edge of band music last November,
when the organization was perfected,
was practically nil The able manner
In which they rendered their part of
the evenings program is an eloquent
testimonial to their application and
industry as well as a splendid compli-
i1ent to their director, F. A. English.
Act Two featured four girls, the
Misses Alice Martin, Mickie Scovel,
Dorothy Morford and Jane Remlinger,
in an exhibition of tap dancing. This
number was we'll received and brought
forth q hearty encore.
The one and only venture into mel
odrama during the entertainment was
in Act Three when Harold Stowe, rep
resenting the modern down-trodden
father; Mrs. Stowe, the average mod
ern flapper daughter and Clarence
(Joe Fouty), the quasi-poet sweetie, al
ways writing but never published, pre-
sented The Shot in the Dark" The
makeup of the characters as we'll as
the acting in this number was unusu-
ally clever. The climax came when the
young poet, thoroughly discouraged by
the unsympathetic reception given his
masterpiece by the old man, rushed
out of the room and shot himself. And
the anti-climax came when the young
man stuck his head through the cur
tatns after they had BEEN draWfl at
the close of the act and announced
to his Mortified audience that he had
missed"
A superlative bit of acting was dis
played in the fourth number on the
program when Kenneth House alone
and unassisted presented "The Leap
Year Leap" in which he depicted the
actions of a coy maiden who had de-
cided to use her leap year prerogative
in asking the big question of her steady
but rather bashful sutton. Mr.. Houses
makeup was exceptionally good and
his representation displayed real talent
In the opinion of many in the audience
this number was the high spot of the
show
In Act Five 1.-THE Bridge Battle of
the Century" was presented to the
audience through radio broadcast and
television. The players were introduced
as Mrs. Culbertson English and her
distinguished partner, Ely Culbertson
Kincaid, and their opposition as John
LEM McFee and Colonel Liggett
O'Larey. Robert Carboneau, acting the
part of the referee, had busy time
of it keeping the playing within bridge
rules. The brOadcasting was done by
Joe Fouty and despite his inexperience
before the mike, Joe's line was as
good as that of Graham MacNamee,
Curtis Benton and other we'll known
sports announcers and scenario writer's
In Act Five many perpleXing ques-
tions were answered for the audience
by Prince Ali, know-all, hear-all,
see-all, tell-all artist. The nature of
the information sought ranged all the
