HOLIDAY OPENING HERE
A BIG SUCCESS

The Christmas opening here Sat
urday afternoon, in spite of bad
weather, went over in a big way
with real holiday spirit evident
1t took more than threatening
weather to keep about 700 grade
which started in Malta, and ended
at the Twin City Opera house. OF
course Santa was in the parade, and
since there was no snow he rode on
truck and waived greetings to the
throngs gathered on the pavemen:s
along the line of march.
The occasion was further enliven-
ed by Malconta Post Legion band,
and the M. & M. school band. The
crowd which assembled in the opera
house could not all be seated--in
fact there was not enough room
for the children. When Santa ap-
peared he was given rousing
Howdy Santa" and he gave joy
Gus salute in return. Santa took
children a happy welcome, in re-
sponse to the greetings to. him from
his hundreds of little friends as
sembled. When Santa asked for a
report as to the behavior of the
youngsters, they all confessed that
they had been very good-had obey
ed their parents, and above every
behind their ears. While Santa had
not the time to personally interview
all the little folks assembled, he did
grant several of them interviews,
and asked that they write him let
ters. Mr.. Eveland stated there
would be box in the lobby Of the
opera house where they could leave
The M. & M. band played several
selections, led by Mrs Edwards,
and Christmas carols were sung by
the audience, led by Rev. Glenn l..
Tennell and Mrs. Edwards. Mrs.
Edwards also had the children sing
the closing selection of the Christ
mas opera she is putting. on in the
places he visited, he never had
found two such good, fine, gener-
GUS helpers, as here, and said that
he had reference to Mr.. and Mrs.
Eveland.
The exercises in the opera house
lasted about half hour-just long
enough to work up real genuine
holiday spirit with the young and
old alike. All grade children were
given, generous treat of candy as
they left
The parade, and exercises in gem
eral. was sponsored by the M. & M.
Business Mems club, and was pro-
nounced the best Christmas opening
ever held here.
Mr. Eveland called attention to
the Christmas party he is giving at
the opera house the afternoon Of
Dec. 23, when the children will be
privileged to bring their mothers.
Rev. Tennell, who is in charge
of the singing, announced that there
will be two more sings-in the op-
era house on the evening of Dec. 18
and the other Friday evening, Dec.
20, and Sunday afternoon at four
o'clock in the Trinity Methodist
church there will be a Christmas
vesper service, to be mostly the
singing of Christmas carols.
