ELKS BED GROSS MINSTREL
ENTERTAINMENT HUGE SUCCESS
When the curtain was rung down
Alter the closing chorus of "Swing
Along" in the Elks Red Cross min*
stre: entertainment, more than
three hundred people who com
prised the audience of the perform
ance with one accord' pronounced
the. one word "SUCCESS."
It was a clean bill from start,to
finish, not one blemish, appearing
durin<r the evening that oould cause
a regret. John Grashel and1 Elmore
Farmer as Bones, and Ed. Water
man and Jimmy Kennedy as Tam
dos, were professional, coming right
back at Dr. Keller, ' interlocutor,
witb * readiness of|Wit which was
not all on th/ program.
All chorus numbers /were excep
tionally well rendered, and signified
thaf much car°ful tralnLng had1 been
received. I
C. C. Cole's rendition of ^'Caa't
You Hear Me Callin' Caroline" was
excellent, and the singer was in
fine roice. 1
Cleon Ask sang "Who6e Pretty Ba
by arc You Now" with Ereat feeTing,
and his rendition of this song bro't
forth a hearty applause.
W. C. Bianchard a singing was of
the usual good tone and value, and
"Hush A-by My Baby" called-' for an
eucoie. I * t
Alex Blanchard, tenor, "Sunshine
of Your Smile" was, one of the fea.
tures of the eveming, and he was
forced to sing "Nuthiu* " in re
ADonso to au encore.
Jim Wilson Bang "Pack Up Your
Trouble in Your Old KltB ag," and
his efforts were rewarded by an en
core. I l';l
W. H. Dotts number "I Don r.
Want to get Well" was heartily1 re
ceived',and lie was called l>ack.
Ed. Waterman's song, "Where Did
Robinson Cruso Go with Friday od
Saturday Night," brought down, th.0
hous, and h~ had to repeat the
last verse. |
P. H. Ganty, was acoompanlst on
the piano for the solos, and) ac
quitted himself with merit.
J. M. Keller filled In 4 portion
of the Intermission with an Imper
sonation, and received hearty ap
plause. J
Tfco comedy. e(kit, "Exit Elwell"
with Mrs. L. H. Johnston, P. H. Mc
Clelland and Fred Pedemen in th«
case was very amusing and well
acted, Bhowing that much, j study
was devoted to the number.
Elmore Farmer's monologue wa<
probably the hit of the evening go
far as individual numbers are con
cern*:?, as he acted! his part of
"Simole Simon" extremely well, and
was called back several times.
Ihp Elks Quartet In their com
edy sketch "Prof. Ro'oln CaruBo'a
New.Vocal Methods" was a eoodi
darky scene and the pinging of
com'c songs and plantation melodies
was very, good' indeed. The/ quartet
is torn posed of Messrs. !_Alex Blanch
ard, Cole, Cleon Ask and* Will
Blarichard. (;
Selmer's orchestra is due great
credit for their excellent music, and
the'numbers given by this aggrega
tion cf musicians did much towards
makiiig the entertainment a success.
Speaking of success brings that
thought in mind, and when the
committee Jwas questioned' on this
pcint they stated tha figures
had l«0* been all compiled, hut it
was safe to say that Skagway Lodge
No. 431, B. P. O. Elks would turn
over to Skagway. braatch of the Red
Crow society not less than |250.C1
cash. ' [
To thta amount will be added1 the
net receipts from the refreshment
concessions which was given to the
Camo Fire glrla, anT although ttia
figures are not deflate, it i* thoughi
that It will between $15 and $20,
which will go to help swell th«
Rod Oross fund.
Credit la due to Fred Rlanchard,
Joe Petersen and Oacar Selmer whc
acted as ushers. Theyiwere blacV
ad up in approved style, andi per
formed their duties well. 1
