W., at Dreamland hall last Thursday night was the most successful in the histo ry of the organization. It was an outstanding social event. Several hundred persons were in attendance, among them quite a number of vis iting Elks from as far east as De troit, Mich. The ladies were resplen dent in beautiful gowns and many of the gentlemen were in full dress, although it was not a strictly formal affair. The music was furnished by the Elks’ nine-piece orchestra. The proceeds of the ball, which was a financial success, were used entirely for supplying Christmas baskets to needy families. Last year the Elks provided for more than 100 needy families. This year tho- demands up on them have greatly increased and they will give assistance to a larger number. The Elks are demonstrat ing that they are not merely a good time organization, as many believe, but one that is exemplifying by practical deeds the fundamental tenets of Christianity. “MIDNIGHT FROLICS” With all the humor and activity, j as well as the musical features that have been incorporated into the I “Midnight Frolics,” t here is little j wonder at its success. It is asserted that this attraction was one of the ; most successful upon the Mutual Burlesque Circuit last season, and that the popularity of that success justified the management in offer ing it again this season over the cir cuit. The two featured members of the organization are Mildred Crozi erre, a favorite singer of “blues” songs, who possesses a rich soprano voice of magnificent range and clar ity; and Bert Marks, a Hebrew com edian of discriminating tact and force. The balance of the company consists of Bcbc Tobin, a dynamic mite of soubrettish vivacity; Kath ryn Exton, a singing and dancing comedienne of excellent promise; Louise Sutton, a dainty ingenue; Len Smith, an Irish comedian; Lew Harris and Frank McKay, two sing ing and dancing comedians, and Ike Wallman, a light comedian, who can dance. The twenty dashing, dainty, daring damsels are said to be drilled to as nearly a state of perfection as it is possible to secure these days. “Midnight Frolics” will be at the Gayety theatre, commencing Sunday matinee. The special midnight show and frolic will be staged New Year’s Eve and there will be a little bit of everything for this special show— namely three special dances, and the original “Black Bottoms.” f £ HOTEL CUMING I) 1916 Cuming Street £ Kouma by day — 59c, 75c. 51.90 I 1 Uy the week — $2.99 te 94 00 11 < > n .. - , , ' > UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT <> 4 > - t > A Mra.

Edwards (For the Associated Negr oPress) I’ve just been listing my Christmas gifts. (You know ’tis nearly time) For Santa Claus will soon be here, And he will give me mine. I’ll read them to you one by one. (Of course, you must not tell) What I am going to give my friends, For then they’ll know full well; To Father, I’ll give handkerchiefs, To Mother, nice warm gloves, To Brother, I’ll give candy-canes, For those he dearly loves. To cousin Jack, I’ll give a drum, To cousin Belle, a doll, A pair of slippers for Grandpa, To Grandma, give a shawl. A pair of sox for Uncle John, A neck-pin for Aunt Grace, And to my friend, who plays with me I’ll give pretty vase. A basket for some poor people, I would not them abhor. I think that quite enough, don’t you? ’Twill help out Santa Claus. Oh! I forgot, there is a friend I learn of Him in Sunday School, His name is GOD, they say. He watches o’er me at my play, He guards me through the night, To not give him a present, would In my mind, not seem right; He doesn’t care for handkerchiefs, Nor neck-pins, gloves or sox, He does not care for candy-canes, | Nor dolls or shawls or clocks, He doesn’t care .for slippers, or For baskets, vase or drum, Of all the earthly present I Have thought of not a one. I know what I will give Him! With it He’d never part. I’ll put His name first on my list, TO GOD I’LL GIVE MY HEART. OLD FOLKS HOME WILL KEEP OPEN HOUSE The Old Folks’ Home, 926 North Twenty-fifth street, will keep open doors New Year’s day and cordially invites the public to call. It will cheer the hearts of the inmates to see their friends. Come, it will do you as well as them good.
