MURRAY COMMUN
ITY HAS TALENT
First of Open Air Concerts Last Sat
urday Night To Give Radio
Program August 2nd.
The first of the 1923 open air pro
grams of the Murray Community
club was held on Saturday evening,
July 7th. There wa a large and ap
preciative audience present and ev
eryone was more than pleased with
the program rendered.
The program consisted largely of
music by the Cole orchestra. In fact
when any committee secures the
services of this organization, it is as
sured of a delightful evening's en
tertainment and any other numbers
are simply added for good measure.
The people of Murray certainly appreciate-
the co-operative spirit of
these good neighbors of ours, as well
as their ability to entertain and can
assure them that they hold a warm
place in our hearts, for their co-operation
and support, not only on this
occasion, but at other times as well,
when they have so kindly aided us.
Mr. Burbridge and his two little
daughters of Plattsmouth were also
present and delighted the audience
with some special musical numbers,
trios, solos, etc., on the xylophone
and piano. The3e little tots are
wonderfully talented and we would
all be pleased to hear them again.
We had expected a talk by Judge
Begley, but as he was unable to be
present, Rev. W. F. Graham of the
United Presbyterian church gave a
talk along patriotic and co-operative
lines, that was well received by the
audience.
It is really surprising how much
local talent can be unearthed, even
in a small community, as Murray will
prove beyond doubt when it gives its
first radio concert from WOAW, Om
aha, on the night of August 2nd.
Recently the community entertainers
of Lanyon, Iowa, a town even smaller
than Murray, gave a radio program
from the Omaha station that was a
dandy, and which proves that this
community entertainment idea is- a
wonderful means of bringing out the
latent talent of the vicinity.
Everett Spangler, our chairman,
handled the meeting Saturday night
in his usual pleasing manner and de
serves much credit for the success of
the meeting. There is some local
talk of running him for Congress
against "Andy Gump" at the next
election, if he keeps on improving in
his oratory.
These meetings are a great thing
in a community, not only as gool,
clean entertainment, but in the fact
that they bring us together in a spirit
of fellowship, where we can get ac
quainted with the other fellow, hear
some of his trials and troubles and
forget Cur own.
These meetings will be held every
two weeks on the church lawn during
the summer months. Everyone is ex
tended a cordial welcome. The next
meeting will be July 21st. Any sug
gestions for bettering these meetings
or help on the programs will be ap
preciated by the committee. This is
a co-operative proposition and only
by everyone taking hold and doing
a share, can it be made a success.
Watch for further details of the
radio program, August 2nd.
