four hundred paid the admittance
price of ten cents, and to this there
is added the children who went in
free and about 80 people who took
part in the performance or were on
committees, thus it can be conserva-
lively said that there were over 500
present. The audience was first en-
tertained with musical numbers by
Mrs. A. Henriksen's orchestra. Then
came a tableau in commemoration of
Abraham Lincoln's birthday in which
Evelyn SOrensen and Byron Petersen
were shown placing wreath on a
large picture of Lincoln while Thor
valid Mattson on the coronet and Eve
Ign Petersen on the piano played 'The
Star Spangled Banner" The main
event of the evening was the presen-
tation of ''E Bindstouw," in which a
group Of both young and old took
part; in this presentation the original
text was not followed, but the dia-
lect and scene was we'll presented.
Then came the grand march Of all
those in old time costumes and finally
lunch and dancing. Owing to the
splendid attendance the committee
was able to meet expenses by charg
ing only five cents for the coffee and
threw the dance in free
