SARAH HYATT One of the brilliant vocal flashes with “Flashlights of 1923 at the popular Gayety twice daily all next week. FI N IX STOKE FOR GAYETYITES \nother Great Musical Show <il Pre War Prices. Jacobs and Jertnon will present their “Flashlights of 1923” company at the popular Gayety theatre next week in a timely revue entitled “Americans Abroad”. The piece in two acts and eleven scenes is said to be one of the funniest, speediest and most tuneful shows playing the Columbia circuit, this season. Abe Lea vitt, its author, has filled it with com edy lines and situations, while the spe cial music composed for it, is credit ed with being of a varied and ex tremely appealing type. William tv. Wells and Jack Strauss are the lyric ists and Melville Morris and Ruby Cowan the composers. There is ev ery type of song from the syncopated dance tune to the haunting sentimen tal number, making the score one of the delights of the show. I And there are dances in profusion ! scattered throughout the piece. These have been mostly staged by Solly Fields, well known for his creditable work along these lines. He has trained | the chorus to perfection in these dances while the principals have 1 created some extremely unique and 11.leasing steps of their own. Jack Callahan is a notable example of this with his acrobatic dancing specialty | which is said to be nothing short of marvelous. Eugenie I^aBlanc, ihe soubrette of the show, is anotte- <’a-c j ing favorite, her wooden shoe clogging being the best in its line on the Amer ican stage. But dancing is not the only strong feature of the service performed by the excellent cast. Eddie Shubert, the fea tured comedian, is unique and droll, his method recalling Ed Wynn in his quaintness of manner. Sarah Hyatt, the prims donna, possesses a lyric soprano voice that is rich in melody and highly cultivated. Miss Hyatt is also a very beautiful woman and she is considered one of the best dressed in her profession. Ann Myers who audios the ingenue role is another good looking young lady who can also sing, her specialty being syncopated music. I. B. damp and Ray Paine offer a pleasing variation to the pro gram in their comedy singing and talking act. An active chorus of >! twenty young and pretty girls cjm pletes the well rounded cast. There will be a matinee daily. Sun day’s matinee starts at 3:00. GROVE M. E. CHURCH 22nd and Seward Sts. Rev. John W. Robinson, D. D., the ; noted pastor-evangelist of Chicago, will begin a revival meeting at the GroVe church Sunday night, Dec. 3d, which is the closing date of our nine weeks’ rally.

There nas been wonderful progress made along ! all lines of church activities within the last few months and we shall try to | express our thanks to God by closing the financial and putting on a spirit ual drive. We solicit the cooperation I of the ministers, Christians and public in these efforts to better our commun i ity, save the lost and spread the king dom of God. Dr. Robinson is the fa mous pastor of our great St. Mark's Church of Chicago, w'ho has wrought wonders there within the last ten years and is one of the most eminent lectur ers, preachers and “Sweet Singers” of the entire connection. Let everybody come out Sunday, Dec. 3,-and see the j contest close, “The Church vs The Devil.” At three o’clock that day the Rev. J. P. Jackson, pastor of Taber nacle Baptist Church in Council Bluffs will preach, ^nd his noted choir will furnish the music. Don’t miss this unusual treat.—T. S. Saunders, Min i ister.

Forty days was the period devoted In ancient times to the burial of the dead. The spies of the Israelites spent 40 days In ('auaan before they submitted the report. Jonah gave the residents of Nlneweh 40 j days In which to consider his prophecy and repent. Christ, Moses and Elijah each fasted for 40 days the Christian observ I a nee of Leu i being a commemor ation of the ftiost notable of these. Under William the Con queror no man was permitted to remain in England more than 40 days without paying a tax of some kill, while under the Magna Char'; It Is provided that a widow shall remain 40 days In the house of her deceased husband befc.re being allotted | her dowry. The modern sanitary adapts tlon of the quarantine was es tablished by the French along the Mediterranean In order to prevent the Introduction of plague from the eastern conn trie*. hut apparently the only reason for the arbitrary setting : of such a “time Is that It forms one of the periods resulting from a division of the lunar year by the mystic number nine. (Copyright.) j *---« Good Qualities of Wood. Trees grow, therefore wood Is cheap er than metals. It is easily worked with tools Into desired shapes and sizes. It Is held securely by nails and by glue. It Is practically permanent when protected by paint; under water or In the ground It outlasts metal. Its strength and lightness make it easy to handle. It Is a non-conductor of heat and electricty. Many wood* are marked by patterns of Inflnlt* variety and beauty, whose very Ir regularities constitute an abiding charm. To this Is added a fine blend ing of colors and a lustre when polish ed that gives wood a place In th* decorative art that can be taken by bo other substance. ..mmmimmmmmmimimmimmmimmimimig I MOSAIC TEMPLARS I | OF AMERICA | | A Negro Fraternal Insurance Concern | = A Business Organized May 22, 1883, by Negroes and for Negroes—Has Been Officered = and Controlled by Negroes from the date of its birth—Managed on EE — Sound Business Principles. == jj Assets More Than $750,000.00 Membership 100,000 jg M OPERVTING IN 26 STATES.
