Saw Old Year Out and
New Year In, McGrath
| Watching the old year out and ush
1 ering the New Year in were impelling
motives that caused many to be in at
tendance at the big doings at Mc
Grath last Thursday and Friday
nights. Dancing, of course, was the
big attraction, two evenings being re
quired to satisfy the merrymakers in j
this partiruiar.
And then, agait^ between danres, j
there were quite a few stunts, in reci- j
tations and songs that enlivened the
occasion,
-Moody Green was master of -cere
monies, but aside from giving atten- ;
tion to those duties he found time to
give several recitations, those of the
French dialect winning merited and
happy applause.
Eli Walker was in fine vt-ice. His !
song brought hearty applause, as well
as did the encore to which he re
sponded.
Little Mary McLean, always pleas
ing, did some pretty step dancing, in
which she seemed better than ever be
fore. She received the most hearty
applause. ,
The step dancing of Owen Gray, as 1
usual, wav. also heartily cheered.
The recital of “Tonopnh Bill” by
Bessie Boyd was excellent.
“Mollie and the Bai ns'—-did you
ever hear it?—was rendered by Joe j
Ferris and Moody Green, and their j
rendition brought forth a prolonged j
uproar of laughter. It was good, and
was the scream of the evening.
The pleasant affair took place, of
course, at the McGrath Roadhouse, j
Messrs. Stewart and White, the genial
proprietors, giving every attentiop to
their many guests.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Lowrie fur
nished the music, which was thor
oughly enjoyed by all.
