a realistic fashion that hia auditors
really thought for a few moments
that they were in a madman's cell.
Frank Bretzer gave a very pleasing
reading, "St. Peter at the Gate."
Messrs. Richards and Wood pre
sented some tableaux which were
masterpieces. The one which
called forth the most enthusiastic
applause appeared 011 the program
as "The "Western Sun That Never
Sets." When the line light was
turned on a very handsome rooster
appeared. Frank Bretzer gave
some very funny examples of veti-
tnloquism. The lunch was served
in rather an unusual but very en
joyable style. It was put up in
baskets, each one holding just
enough for two and alter the guestb
had found their proper partners
they were passed around. The
whole evening's proceedings were
brim full of fun, and the ladies arc
firmly couvinccd that the brother
hood men are capital entertainers.
