Benefit Show
Nets S85 for
School Soup Fund

Monday night the K1waniS SOUP
fund benefit performance at the
school house was well patronized.
The house was comfortably we'll
filled and there were numerous tick
cts sold to people who did not at
tend the performance.
The show itself was not too bad.
AS a matter Of fact the performers
did themselves proud. It was a mus
ical comedy in two parts, the leads
being played by Mrs Urban Rocker
and Vane Wilder. Mrs. Rocker took
the part of Sippy, the captains
daughter and Mr.. Wilder the part
of Hal, the colonel's son. Both have
nice voices and carried their parts
well.
E. s. Black took the part of the
captain and handled the part (al-
though not the pipe) well, especially
so since he took the part with only
ten days notice, after two others had
been unable to go ahead with it.
Corston Green really ran away
with the show in the part of Stats,
barker on the showboat. His hypno-
tism stunts played one of the prin-
cipal parts in the plot. We predict
that Mr.. Green will have first call
on comedy parts in future home tai
ent performances here.
Mrs. Chellis, BACKED up, made an
excellent Cleopatra negro nanny
cook on the boat. She was in good
voice and made pleasing perform
ance.
Ed Neuman played the part Of the
Colonel, rich local banker, the real
villain in the sketch.
Mrs. Frank Maupin, as Martha
F.risbee, made a hit with the aud
fence, especially after she had been
transformed into the Queen Of
Sheeba.
"The Girl In Green-a widow
from st. Louis" played by Mrs. Love
furnished much Of the comedy and
the part was well taken.
Floyd Hutchins as the hick sheriff
with the big shiny star couldn't keep
his grandpappy out Of his CONVEX
sation, and apparently made big
hit, for he was the only player to
receive flowers from the audience
at least they looked like flowers
from the back Of the hall. OF course,
they might have been vegetables.
Bentley Galligan, blase and soph-
isiticated, played his part well, as
did Mrs. Galligan, taking the part
of Kate Smith, local flapper.
Miss Betty Howard took the part
of Doris, a romantic girl, strong for
Stats the sideshow barker. She
did clever tap dance between
verses in Stats solo.
Ed Weber played the part OF
Tom, the disappointed shiek, while
John Neuman took the part Of Hap
py, witless subject of Stats hypnot-
ic experiments. The part was well
carried out and furnished the So
luton for the rather thin plot OF
the show.
Others taking part in the present.
alton were the chorus OF girls, IN
Guiding Vivian Higley, Jean Long
Irene Lum, Ruth Beinhart, Lois
Giard and Jane Nagley. The pick
anninny chorus was composed OF
Eve Neil, Neva Neil, Margaret Alb
kin, Gladys Kempf, Jean Osborne
and Maxine Kirk.
Miss Eva Elefson was accompan-
list for the shiw.

gan prelude which was played pS

ing in the deep-test well In the Rat
tlesnake Hills gas fields, j. II. Man,
superintendent, reports today. The
well was 2840 feet deep Monday
night. Three thousand feet OF cas-
ing has been unloaded and hauled

on this drilling program. Plans for
other wells are being prepared, but
no definite date for drilling or To-
cation has been made.

ably due to the fact that none OF

same team before, the boys having
been chosen from the five different
teams Of the league here. There was
also difficulty Of playing under the
spots which made 1t hard for them
to see the ball The boys expressed
the fact that it was fun In spite Of
them coming out with the small end
Of the score.
The local team was composed Of
Ed Neuman, pitcher; Leo Glassner.
catcher; Roy Maddox, left. and Max
Mcclure, right short stop; Rudy

er, second and John Neuman, third;

C. Of C. Opposes
|PrOSSer Man as
Road Delegate

A communication from the Prosser
Community club was read this noon
at the chamber Of commerce meet
ing, asking for Kennewick endorse
ment of Geo. o. Beardsley as Ben
ton county's delegate on the reso-
buttons committee Of the state good
roads association.
n. G. Schmidt, chairman Of the
roads committee Of the local organ
ization, reported the committee as
being absolutely opposed to Boards
ley's selection for that position. He
said that the committee felt that
it was largely through the efforts Of
Mr.. Beardsley during the last ses-
sion Of the legislature that Kenne-
wick was shunted off the North
Bank highway program and for this
reason felt that nothing Mr.. Boards
ley could do would be Of benefit to
this end Of the county.
Mr.. Schmidt stated that his COM
mittee would do everything possible
to prevent Mr.. Beardsley's selection
and would attempt to secure q dele
gate who would more fairly repre-
sent the general interests Of the
county In such position.
The motion to endorse the COM
mittee's action was carried by the
club.
