A Pleasant Evening In Vaudeville Important Meeting Of Elks Friday The regular meeting of Alliance lodge of Elks wiill take place tomorrow (Friday) evening, after which there will be a smoker. It ib urgently requested that all members be present. Sale of Delinquent Tax. County Treasurer Fred Mollring is getting out the list of delinquent tax on all real estate and same will be sold in November if taxes are not paid. Fine Portrait of Mr.Bryan . A magnificent portrait of W. J. Bryan adorns the east window of Breunan's store, and is attracting great attention. This may be said to be a trophy of the Denver convention where it occupied a conspicuous place in the rotunda of the Brown Palace hotel during the national session. This was secured by the Al liance democrats who would nut he satisfied until the prize was landed. It is a test of Mr. Bryan's popularity when every minute as people look at the prominent features of the portrait, they remark, "He's the man.". The home talent that presented the vaudeville show at the opera house last night, under the direction of Maud Palmer Terrell, surely acquitted them selves in mi appreciative manner, to say the least. Every number on the program was roundlv applauded and the audience, which was not as large as it should have been for such an en tertaimnent, went home thoroughly satisfied with what they had heard and seen. "Where the Southern Koses Grow," a trio sung by 'Messrs. Jack Watson, Dick Burke and Wayne Csdiker, in which the chorus of voices joined, was complete harmony, and the composer's sweet expression of music in the beau tiful song was brought out in fullness. J. W. Guthrie's rendition of "Be douin Love Song," as usual, brought forth great applause from the audience. "How Many Have Yon Told That To?" was a neat little song well render ed by Cecil Krcamer and Lloyd Smith and they had to repeat the same to satisfy the appieciation of the house. A pianologue by Maud Palmer Ter rell followed, and the lady who so ad roitly and quickly arranged the pro gram, did her part with the ease and grace that is her natural possession. Jack Miller in a baritone solo was unusually fine and he sang his selec tion with more than ordinary effect and ; inspiration. "Just Some One," a vocal number I by Jack Watson and Dick Burke, was I most pleasing as is always the case I when these two lads turn their voices ' loose to music-loving ears. ' Part two included a sketch presented .by Miss Hazel Bowman and Miss Agatia Gregg. It was the case of a ! fortune teller in the person of the former telling the secrets of Miss Agatha, the curious one.' A lover was i of course, in the deal and untold trou 1 ble resulted from the fortune teller's description of a dog instead of the lov er, whom the teller of secrets agreed to describe for a stipulated price. "1 Am a Crazy Jay," a solo and step-about by Hay Dictlcin, as the title of the song suggests, was indeed comical and the "rubo"' character brought out in all its hay-seed person ality. A tambourine dance by Miss Helen Broome was n number also appreciated by the audience and the little lady was asked to repeat the act. "The Dutch Girl," by Miss lnicc McCorkle and Ed. Hcardon, was a musical furce that found merit in these two persons. Oh, but the "Bloomer Girl" ball gome that followed left but few sober faces in the audience. It was enough to make a statue laugh to observe the antics of the players and the jestures of the umpire, Ed. Kcardon. It was the warmest ball game in Alliance this season, without doubt. "All the Comforts of Home," was a little domestic farce in which Jack Mil ler and Miss Inice McCorkle did their parts well to illustrate the little family jars that will happen once in awhile (and sometimes twice) between hus band and wife. Ed. Hcardon, as the colored waiter, enlivened the occasion with his comical antics, that brought forth a storm of laughter from the house. The "Butterfly Dance" by Miss Marie Dismer was a daintv affair and the dancer acquitted herself in a fairy like manner most artistically. Master Morris Nelson in "Costume Song" did his part to make the per formance so successful. The concluding act of the vaudeville consisted of an Indian dance that will long be remembered as decidedly inter esting. It was a genuine Indian scene in which the bucks and squaws were attired in the costumes of the noble red man and the aborginian music ac companying the weird dance, brought the audience mentally to the home of Indian tribes of long ago. M. Lcuther Griffith, pianoist, W. W. Ward, vocalist, and Hay Close, buck and win dancer, performers of rare ability, who are special attractions at the Jollo, assisted in the performance gratuitously. Maud Palmer Terrell surely haH won the confidence of Alliance people in her management of performances and her ability as a musician is thoroughly established here.
