HALL PACKED 10
HEAR THE NEW
AMEB
IJlks' hall was crowded to its full
est capacity l;ist night when more
Jhau 200 Skagway peopl© gathered
together to witness the entertain
ment called "The New Amerioans"
presented by Mrs. Bunting'g room of
the Skagway school. As the curtain
rose at 8:30 o'clock the stage pre
sented the scene of a dying BOldier,
shot on the battle field, with a Red
i Cross doctor counting his pu4se,j and
I with Red Cross nurses standing in
| a group the dying man to aid i«
any \yay possible. , 1
The program was varied with
marches by aoldier boys dressed in
army khaki, and drilled in the
manual of arms. So well did they
execute the squad and company
turning movements that the house
auyiauded time and again. Red
Cross nurses marched on the stage
iu different drills that were pretty
ai>4 unique, and the name "Red
Cross'' was spelled out by the
^irls who carried Red Cross flags
oyer their shoulders. The Goddess
of Liberty followed by Miss Col
umbia led the marches. Bach of
the young misses was dressed in
white, and presented a most beauti
ful and pretty spectacle. ,
Martha Washington gave a tea
natty, at which number of colonial
dames were presented, and at which
the minuet was danced by a soldier
bo£ and one of the "Martha 'Wash
ington" misses. Both acts brought
'he house down.
Uncle Sam, dressed in his long
striped trousers, with his blue
s.vajlow tailed coat, and his white
beaTd, wag a feature of the even
lap and was both witty and at
tractive. Surrounded by a group
of typical Americans, different chil
dren representing the Entente al
lies came onto the stage otfie at a
time declaring their desires to put
thfir lots in with the U. 3. Differ
ent ones of the American, group
made a little speech to each new
member, and advised him to always
nut the flag of Old Glory above that
of the fatherland.
The last scene depicted the story
of the Star Spangled Banner,
which ended by the children and
audience all joining in singing the
national anthem.
Ever}' drill and speech was well
done, and reflects a great deal of
credit on the children as well as
the" • teacher. Space prevents us
from mentioning each child who
tool- i>art. but ail did extraordinari
ly well ,and each should bo com
plimented.
It is estimated that between $40
and $">0 were taken in at the en
tertainment, the money to be used
fei the Junior Ked Cross, and to
Purchase dressings and materials to
be used in the Skagway school.
Noi e of the money will leave town.
