"Shashlich," by all means order
this delicacy when next you visit
Mime. HamiltOn's place. A COM
pIete revampment of the floor
show will be featured tonight,
which means new sketches, new
songs, and some more of those
whirling Russian dances by the
artists in the entertainment group.
One particular sketch, "The
Hunter" wherein a peasant goes
to the woods to hunt, meets up
with three maidenS and brings
back as his game, one wife, is
colOrfulIy portrayed in musical
dramaticS. Mischa Markoff, con-
tinental Russian baritone and
master of ceremonies, will also
please with his stirring renditiOnS
of American and MuscOvite folk
songs.
Pete Macias' enhancing music
and the comfortable surroundings
at the Heigh-Ho Club speak for
themselves as an inducement for
after-theater-goers. The musical
charm of the MaciaS-prepared
tunes, featuring the Cuban
rhumba and Spanish tango, have
caused no end Of favorable COM
ment by distinctive night club
devoteeS.
The Lotus Restaurant presents
an all-new gridiron revue featur-
ing Hal and Hilda Raywin, a

a family novelty act; and Judy
Ellington, Al Norton, and the
Capitolians. Backing up this
billing of main attractions, is q
chorus Of eye tempting chorineS.
A note from River Bend tells
us that chilly weather hasn't put
the chills in the famous oil fire
place for which the Bend is justly
famous. George Stein and his boys
are preping some fine tunes to be
used in a "by the fireside" roper
toire that smacks completely of
that certain cozinesS one seeks
during winter jaunts around the
night life circuit.

Wheatley House
Opens 18th Year
On October 2

Phyllis Wheatley Settlement
House formally opens it's doors
Friday, October 2, at 7:SO p. M, to
the citizens of Minneapolis for the
18th annual year. A fine program
will be arranged to illustrate to
the people the type of work that
will be offered this year. The in
crease in staff through WPA and
NYA aid makes it possible for a
much larger program of activities.
This increase, coupled with an
added incentive to people for i'm
proved education, should guarantee
the House one of it's most prosper
Gus years.
Recently throughout the nation
the settlement house has assumed
a higher place in the community
because of the accelerated interest
in leisure time activities. Neigh
borhoods are clamoring for Gre
ative opportunities along the
lines of craft, sewing, needlework,
folk dancing, singing, tap dancing
and recreation.
The staff of Phyllis Wheatley is
anxious to provide these classes.
This year each of the churches will
have a "Phyllis Wheatley Mite" at
which classes will be explained.
The value of an activity pro-
gram is mainly recreational, but
there is also the practical side. It
is the hope of the staff that men
and women will gain valuable in
formation from these classes. For
example the Women's Shop Mite
will be opened every Thursday eve
ming.
Instructions will be given in
sewing, quilting, knitting, and
needlework. On every last Friday
in the month, an exhibit will be
held at the Adult Friendly Neigh
Dor Club, where these articles may
be viewed or purchased.
Similarly a girls and boys Gift
Club will be organized in which
articles for sale or for gift pur-
poses may be made. Folk dane
ing and group singing will be init
ated with the hope of presenting,
later, some type of pageant. In
all these, there is some place in
the program for each member of
the family. And as usual there
is a full line of athletics.
A partial list of activities fol-
lows: Nursery, kindergarten, ping
pong, puppetry, handicraft, press
club, folk dancing, dramatics, ath-
letics, sewing, knitting, quilting,
needlework, cooking, candy-mak-
ing, discussion clubs, tap dancing
and orchestra. Everyone is urged
to come out October End and regis
ter for one or more of these &C
tivities.

ground: First half of July, 1876;

Activities engaged in on the
playground were:
Swimming, hiking, horseshoe
pitching, kittenball, boxing, toy
football, games, story telling, clay
modelling, volley ball and paper

Due to the intense heat during
the summer and the glazing sun
on the playground area next to the

sary to bring the activities inside
the building. The gym was used
as our summer playground.
Activities were confined to the
entire basement, such activities
were:

dodge ball, handicraft, volley
ball, ping pong, checkers.
