rHE KNIGHTS OP
CQLUMBUS MINSTREL SHOW
The younger ones of the big audi
mces both nights still are humming
:he catchy tunes and the less rheu
natic of the elders trying to execute
some of the pigeon wings and fancy
steps of the second presentation of
the Dixie Darktown Minstrels, the
Knights of Columbus annual minstrel
show, at the K. C. theater Wednesday
and Thursday evenings. The show, as
was the first one, was under the
direction of Jean Griffith of Des
Moines, which was an assurance of Its
success from the minute it was decided
upon, and its memories will help to
liven up the dull times of winter for
weekes to come. Too bad we can’t
have ’em oftener.
The program from the opening
number to the closing one was a hil
arious and excruciatingly funny one,
just the kind to start pleasing
thoughts to circulate through the old
bean, and to improve the appetite, and
every member of the cast was a stai
It was a real all-star aggregation.
Lack of time and space prevents indi
vidual mention, but there were several
skits that cannot be passed. Arnold
Longstaff and the little Misses Jo
sephine and Louise Wright in their
song and dance numbers would have
been singing and dancing yet had they
continued to respond to the demands
for encores. Some of the girls assist
ing in dolling up the cast wanted to
pal with Doc. Burgess when he enter
ed the dressing rooms attired as a
shy young maiden for his act with Jess
Mills, and Herb Hammond rebuked
her for smoking a cigarette in the
presence of the other girls. Mike
Horiskey discovered the impersona
tion only after the number was over
and just had time to l-eeall the kid he
had sent around to the stage door with
a boquet. Then theie was Prof. Nor
de Nci and Will Froelich in their
hypnotism burlesque, which would go
as the real thing among strangers,
Doc. Tickler and John Mullen in their
Hebrew stunt, Buddy Wright and
company in the opening number and
Andy Davis, in solo, duet, trio, quar
tet and quintete, who got splinters off
the floor in his magnificent bass voice
in reaching down for some of the very
low notes. In the minstrel part Ben
Harty, Paul Beha, Gene Mayfield and
Ted Cooper were the real thing as end
men and furnished plenty of laughs
for old and young, and in the circle
of songbirds, dressed in real soup and
fish, you couldn’t ask any better than
Dr. L. A. Burgess, Harold Zimmer
man, Jess Mills, Harry Clauson, Ed.
Campbell, H. C. McDonald, Andy
Davis and Arnold Longstaff, who were
ably backed by tho large chorus in
their -renditions. They all performed
under the skillful and witty direction
of Master of Conversation William
Froelich, who in addition to the
wfttier’s uniform, wore a large silk
sash of his national color, green.
EUGENE P. HENRY.
For the second time within the year
it becomes a sad duty to chronicle in
these columns the death of a member
of The Frontier family. Our family
because the close relations of news
paperdom make us all akin at heart,
and the sorrow and loss of one is the
sorrow and loss of each and all. But
a few short months ago the beautiful
life of the mother of the publisher, D.
H. Cronin, drew to the close of its
allotted span, the passing sad, tho not
unexpected because of her years. This
time the passing out of this life of the
youngest member of The Frontier
force and the son of the oldest em
ploye on the force is chronicled.
Eugene P. Henry, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest D. Henry, died at the
family residence in this city Tuesday
afternoon after a short illness of
pneumonia. He was born near
Mineola, this county, January 19, 1904,
| and was 17 years, 10 months and 3
; days old at the time of his death. The
j funeral was held from the First Pres
' hyterian church, of which he was a
member, Thursday morning at 10:30
o’clock, the Rev. 'George Longstalf
officiating. Hundreds crowded the
church auditorium to pay their last
respects, and as many unable to enter
the edifice mourned outside. The Boy
Scouts, of which he was an active
member, and an assistant' scoutmaster
of Troop 2, were present at the resi
! dence and at the church, in uniform,
| to do him honor, with them Harvey
i Johnson, the chaplain, representing
the Boy Scout organizations of Nor
folk. Beautiful floral tributes from
the several scout organizations, his
schoolmates of the class of the O’Neill
high school of 1920, with whom he
had graduated with high honors, and
from many, many friends both young
and old testified to the esteem in which
he was held. Six Boy Scouts in uni
form bore their former comrade from
the residence to the church, and at last
to the final resting place, and the
scout colors and the stars and stripes
were carried at the head of the troop,
which accompanied them.
Because of his youth, his clean life
and the very short duration of his ill
ness the death of Eugene P. Henry is
peculiarly a sad one, more than
usually so. Just budding into young
manhood with his ambitions yet be
fore him to be realized, still but a
child to a loving mother and father,
arid a companion to brother and sister,
the wounds of his loss time alone can
heal and memories soothe. They shall
miss him, and so shall we, for he wus
their boy, and our friend, and we
partially realize their loss as we feel
our own.
Eugene P. Henry is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest D.
Henry, his brother Paul L., and his
sister, Maiy Elizabeth, to whom The
Frontier joinB the entire community in
extending sincere sympathy.
CARD OF THANKS.
We desire to thank the Boy Scouts
and our many friends for their kind
attention and sympathy in the hour of
cur great bereavement, the illness and
death of our beloved son and brother,
Eugene.
Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Henry.
Paul L. Henry.
Mary Elizabeth Henry.

To Neglect the Skin is to

She also has the good sense to know that to get the best 1 e
sults she must follow the advice of someone who has success
fully specialized in the beautifying of complexions, just as you
seek the services of a specialist in time of sickness.
That’s What Mrs? Gibbs Is—A Toilet Goods Specialist Who
Has Succeeded in Her Profession
That’s why we contracted for a week of her services for the
women of O’Neill.
