Sept. 22.—Denounc- j ing the Ku Klux Klan as a dangerous organization that paralyzes the ef forts of thinking people, Rev. R. M. Williams, Negro pastor, addressed 300 persons of his race at the Haddock Memorial church, Fifth and Steuben streets, Sunday afternoon. “This Klan is un-American,” Rev.; Mr. Williams declared. “It disregards j the manadate of the constitution of the : United States that all men shall be free and eijuaJ. It takes the law into its own hands, which is also against j the principles upon which this nation was founded, and its purpose is to create factional and race prejudice.” Rabbi Isaacson, of Mount Sinai tem ple, was scheduled to address the meeting, but was unable to attend. The meeting was held under the au spices of the Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People, an or ganization which has 4f#l members in Sioux City. MAKY LEE One of the songbirds with the Dave M avion show at the Gayety twice daily all next week. HAVE WAKIOWS OW\ SHOW \T THE GtYETY ‘‘The Marion Show”—Dave Marion’s pet production—is next week's card at the Gayety. Never, perhaps, has there been so gorgeous a production on a local burlesque stage—a succession of scenic marvels which dazzle the eye and compel instant realization of the fact that Mr. Marion has money. And yet, beautiful as the production is. it is not burlesque. The gathered crowds would far rather see Dave Marion, as of old, in his original call- j man character, and hear the crash of the smitten comedians here and there upon the stage, than gaze on j all the scenic wonders of the world.1 But times change, brilliant scenery j replaces knockouts, and the lipstick supplants the slapstick. Walter McManus is the laugh-maker of the show, and a good one, too. Gor don Bennett, Edward Davis. Robert, Daily, Jack McNulty, John Willard • and Abe Gore carry varied roles in! capable fashion. Mae Marvin of Louisville knows how to sing—is des-' tined for Broadway stages some day. Helen Aspen, Dolly Taylor, Mary Lee i and half a dozen other clever young 1 women lead caparisoned numbers. There Is an Arabian scene with twelfth j century costumes, and a Napoleonic' scene with everybody, except the era peror, in costumes of Louis XIV pe- ] rid. Plenty of chorus girls, gorgeous-1 ly clad. Expensive show—but we’d rather have Dave Marion himself again. There will be a matinee daily at 2:l.r> beginning Monday. Sunday ma tinee starts at 3:00 and the Saturday night performance at 8:00. BRANCH MUSIC SHOP TO OPEN The Rialto Music Shop which does a large business among our people and appreciates their patronage is opening ing a branch store on Twenty-fourth street just south of Seward. They will have one of the handsomest stores on this popular business street. It will be in charge of Mr. J. Himels ten, brother of Joe Himelsten, whom many patrons of the Rialto Music Shop know. Mr. Albert Kostka and R. L. Lincoln are the genial gentle men associated with Mr. Himelsten. A cordial invitation is given to their patrons to visit and inspect the branch store and also to continue their visits when more convenient to the down town store.
