' PAGE'S. " PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-TVEEKLY JOURNAL. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, I-JH "HIGH JINKS" AT THE PARMELE LAST NIGHT The Cleverest and Snappiest Musical Comedy That Positively Ever Visited Hattsmouth. From Tuesday's Dally. One of the cleverest and snappiest musical comedies in recent years which it has been the pleasure of the Plattsmouth people to enjoy was given last night at the Parmele theater, when "High Jinks" was presented by an excellent company of artists, who gave this exceedingly clever farce a most pleasing rendition. The story of the play from the pen of Otto Hauerbach, the author of "The Three Twins" and "Madame Sherry," Las all the cleverness of these two popular musical comedy successes, and the music by Rudolph Friml, the author of "The Firefly," was the most tuneful and pleasing that has been heard in this city in years, and the popular song hits, "Something Seemj Ting-ingle-ing," "Love's Own Kiss" and "I'm Through With Wandering Kurr.eos" were of the kind that lingers in the minds of the auditors with their bewitching strains. The com pany was one of the highest standard and composed of some of the brightest stars from the glare of Broadway, and included Charles W. Meyer. Whitlock Davis. W. II. White, Betty Blye, Mary Ambrose. Mildred Shelley, Eddie Lam bert iiiui Bertha Munson. who in their different roles were most clever and amusing and thoroughly entered into the spirit of the sparkling farce comedy. "H:'h Jinks." besides being the title of the musical farce, is also the name of a magic perfume, which has the property of making everybody wildly joyous. The perfume is the discovery of the explorer. Dick Wayne, who communicates its secret to Dr. Thorn?, an American nerve specialst, practic ing in I'aris. This is the starting of the fun of the performance and tho con' plica lions resulting from the use of ke perfume makes the eomplica tk'".s which makes the life of the per formance. Throughout the play was one filled with snap and "pep" and everyone prr.-ert fe't that the event was one of tare p!tau:e. DEPUTY POSTMAST ER RECEIVES A VERY PAINFUL INJURY M. S. IJriggs. the efficient deputy !"- mar-tor. last evening met with an accident that proved most serious, and as a result of which he is now carry ig bis right hand in a sling.

The injury is both very painful and annoying, but Mr Bribes is still on the job in handing out mail, although it is necessary for him to do the greater part of the work with his left hand, and it will be sev era! days before he is able to have the use of the injured hand. He is .'ure game in sticking on the job in the face of the injuries. THE J. C. PETERSEN HOME IS FILLED WITH MUCH JOY From Tuesdays Dally. this morning a telegram was re ceived by J. C.

STORK LEAVES A NEW SON AT SAM GILMOUR HOME From Wednesday's Dnr. This morning at an early hour the stork called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gilmour, south of this city, and left with them a fine new son and heir, who is reported as being one of the finest boys in the world and the object of a great deal of interest from his delighted relatives. This is the first child in the family, and the young Mr. Gilmour is boss of everyone from Grandpa Billy Gilmour down. The friends will join in wishing the happy parents much joy on this happy oc casion and trust that the young man may live to be a joy and comfort to them in the years to come. THE REVIVAL SERVICES AT METHODIST CHURCH GROWING IN INTEREST The special revival services being conducted by Rev. F. M. Druliner. pastor of the First Methodist church, are growing in interest at each suc ceuing meeting and the results so far accomplished have been far greater than at many other meetings held in this city by special evangelists, and the earnest efforts of the minister in presenting the thoughts and inspira tion cf the Christian life is meeting with a willing response from a greater part of the residents of this city and stimulating to a great degree the ad vancement of the higher ideals of manhood and womanhood. The meeting last night was one of the best held so far, as despite the threatening weather a large number were present and ten came forward to join their lives to that of the Chris tian faith, anil on Tuesday night seven were added to the list of con versions. To date there have been sixty-five conversions made at these meetings, which is a splendid showing for the value of the meetings and it is to be hoped that those who have affiiated themselves wilh the work of the church will continue on the path way that will lead to better things und a higher appreciation of the teach ings of the Master. The street- meetings which have I ee'ii 'held have brought the minister closer to a gret.t many w ho otherwise would not receive the word, and these have almost all attended the meetings at the church and demonstrated their interest in the work of the meetings. Special musical numbers have been given by the chorus choir that have served as an inspiration and aid to the meetings at the church It has been a long time since such real interest has been occasioned here as has been by these meetings, a in tne gatnerings will be continued as long as the good they can accomplish remains to be carried out. MRS. F. 6. EGENBERGER ENTERTAINS THE W. R. C From Wilndays Dally. i esteruay atternoon the ladies ot .1 XX ' T . ... .. me v. . i.. were entertained in a most charming manner at the beauti ful home of Mrs. F. G.

Will Present Gene Stratton-Porf er's "Freckles" at the Parmele Thea ter, Tuesday, November 16. There has been nothing produced in the history of the American stage just like "Freckles." It is distinctive and original, but of such absorbing inter est that it is not difficult to understand why millions of fiction readers have delighted in the story, nor why the song play has become so popular with all classes of theater-goers. In his dramatization, Neil Twomey has kept faithfully to the text of Mrs. Porter's story; every character has been brought out in bold relief in the play, and where the picture was in the mind's eye of the reader, it is now in the actual line of vision. The great Limberlost scene, in which Freckles has taken hold on life is realistically shown. It is a beauti the swamp forming a dark, massive background below, while above tower gigantic trees. The coming of "Freckles" will be theatrical event just as it was an event in fiction; the song play is now as great a success as in the story aix is playing to immense crowds every where. The music :r the play and tne songs rendered bv Fieckles and the various characters are by the Viennes composer, Anatol Friedland; it is sai to he a novelty trom a musical pom of view and the songs among the most beautiful heard in a long time. MAKE ALL PAY FOR LICENSE GR NONE AT ALL From Wednesday's Dally. The auto livery men of this city who have paid their occupation tax for the privilege of doing business are making quite a complaint to the city author ities over the fact that others who have not complied with the require ments of the city ordinance in regard to having a license to operate a livery line are doing business and receiving money for this service, and those who have paid over their hard-earned coin for a license naturally feel rather put cut over the mutter, and they well may, as it does not look right if the ordinance is complied with by some and not obeyed by others. While we have no knowledge of any. if there be such that are engaged in this line of work without a license, still those who have complied with the city ordinance insist that such is the case and they have brought pressure on the city to try and put a stop to the practice. CLARK HASTENS TO THE RESCUE MARRIED LAST FEB RUARY AND FOOLED THEIR FRIENDS MISTAKEN IN THE TOWN WHERE AD DRESS WAS GIVEN Will Make Apple Butter. Wm.

The mi-take has probably be;-n caused by tho misleading of tho date of the message giving the notice of the banquet, but wherever the event was held the position of Mr. Walker in this important step that is being urged by the president at this time has the right ring.
