MUSIC AND
FUN MARK THE
LEGION SHOW
-IN HOT TAMALE LAND" HAS ITS
PEEMTER LAST NIGHT IS
WELL RECEIVED.
From Thursday's Daily.
This city has in the past enjoyed
many very excellent home talent
plays and entertainments, but seldom
has there been so many of the best
of the musical talent of the city as
sembled in one cast as there was in
the musical extravaganza "In Hot
Tamale Land" which was offered at
the Parmele theatre last evening
under the auspices cf the local post
of the American Legion and with the
personal direction of Percy II. Field.
The plot of the play revolved
around the fair daughter of the
American pickle king and her poor
but honest lover, who sought to ful
fill the demands of his sweetheart's
father for wealth, even though it in
volved the slaying of the fiercest bull
in all "Hot Tamale Land." and dur
ing the progress of the play the story
unreels in a series of very amusing
situations as well as very delightful
musical numbers.
As "Ezra Heinz," a pickle king,
Harry Smith was clever and amusing
and showed at his Lest in this role.
and unlike the famous Heinz of his
tory. Mr. Smith appeared to have
only one pickle. His antipathy to the
chaperone of his daughter, "Miss
Agatha Fidget," played by Mrs. John
T. Lyon, made several of the bright
comedy situations, and both . Mr.
Smith and Mrs. Lyon were very
pleasing in the parts for which they
had been placed. Mr. Smith in his
musical solo. "Ain't Nature Grand,"
was a big hit, being ably assisted by
the handsome and pleasing chorus of
young ladies.
Raymond Cook, who has grown in
the popular favor as a dramatic star
since his appearance here several
months ago in "A Couple of Mil- i
lions," carried one of the principal
masculine roles cf thejmuf-ical cpm
edy. In the role of "Bobfey TVallaee." j
the lover, and the would-be facrifice
to the great bull of Hot Tamale
Land," from which he escaped only
after several trying situations. One
of the most amusing situations of
"Hot Tamale Land." from which he
escaped only after several trying sit
uations. One of the most amusing
situations of the musical comedy
was the mock bull fight in which
Mr. Cook, George F. Dovey and John
T. Lyon participated, the latter gen
tlemen being in the role of the two
friends of "Bobby." Mr. Cook also
carried several of the most beautiful
and difficult musical numbers of the
program in which he won the ap
probation of the entire audience by
his pleasing work. "Rose of My Hart"j
and Ihe beautiful "Toreador's Song"
from "Carmen" were among the most
delightful of the musical comedy.!
and also the number "Goodbye." giv
en as one of the closing selections of!
the play. Mr. Cook and Edna Mar
shall Eaton were heard in one of the '
greatest hits of the entire evening in
their duet "Gypsy Love," and in
which they were given a hearty en
core. It is needless to say that as "Elea
nor." the daughter of the pickle king
who-e love for "Bobby" was beset
with trials and tribulations, Edna
Marshall Eaton gave a very clever
interpretation to the role and with
her beautiful voice added mifch to
the delightful musical numbers. Mrs.
Eaton in her musical numbers. "I'm
Falling in Love with Someone" and
"Will You Remember?" held the
ciwwwi .iiirui.t. w The orchestra for the musical com
audience and in the ensemble num-l . . - - . , . ,
bers her assistance to the voices of
the chorus was noticeable.
Eugene Lister, commander of the
Legion post, as "Don Soda Di Poppo,"
ruler of Hot Tamale Land also per
formed" some of the real love making
of the show, as well as kept the ma
chinery of government running and
arranged the various bull fights for
the entertainment of his subjects.
One of the main characters of the
production was that given to Mrs.
Catherine Dovey Falter, as "Delores."
daughter of Don, and in this role
Mrs. Falter gave a. very artistic pre
sentation of the part, which indicat
ed clearly the experience and clever
ness of the gifted singer. "Beneath
Thy" Window" and "At Dawning."
were the two solo numbers of Mrs.
Falter and in these her sweet voice
was heard at its best. She also gave
a very charming duet with George F.
Dovey in the second part of the mu
sical comedy. "Tell Me Pretty Maid
en." in which the tuneful and de
lightful. "Florodora

Lilburn Craig. William Powell, Harry

Janda and Paul Wainscott added very
much to the attractiveness of the of
fering. Mrs. James T. Begley appeared in
the comedy as "Juanita," a shy se
norita. and also gave a very pleasing
sola number. "Senora," at the open
ing of the performance. The work
of Mrs. Begley during the progress
of the play stamped her as being
truly a shy senorita and served to
add to its realism and pleasure.
In the comedy roies. the chief fun
makers were William J. smith, as
"Punko Dora." the walking delegate
of tne bull fighters' union, and Geo.
F. (Sport) Dovey. Mr. Smith also
gave the solo number "La Paloma,"
his rendition of the Mexican national
air being excellent. This was the
first appearance of Mr. Smith before
a Plattsmouth audience and he cer
tainly proved that he has long been
hiding a great deal of dramatic tal
ent and his future ventures into the
dramatic field will be awaited with
interest by the Plattsmouth people.
As the red hot walking delegate
Bill kept the bull fighting game well
stirred up and assisted in preserving
the life of the intrepid matador,
"Bobby," in the last act of the mu
sical comedy. As a soap box orator.
Mr. Smith proted more appealing
than even Emma Goldman, and gave
the bull owners a panning for true.
It is always a real treat to enjoy
the appearance of George Dovey in
any of the home talent plays and in
this musical comedy he was no ex
ception to the rule and added new
laurels to himself a3 an actor and
his clever and original rendition of
the part of a friend of the love lorn
"Bobby" was more than usually
clever. Mr. Dovey in his song hits
was in a class by himself. One of
the big hits was the waltz song.
"Three O'Clock in the Morning," in
which he was supported by the
chorus in pleasing - manner, while
"Down the Old Church Aisle" was
the song hit that took the audience
by storm and in response to the loud
and enthusiastic reception of the
audience, Mr. Dovey and the chorus
responded to a number of encores. In
this song. Master Jimmie Begley and
little Miss Mary Falter made a great
hit as the the tiny bride and groom
who made their appearance during
the .singing of the melody by Mr
Dovey and captivated the entire
audience by their winsomeness. As
a whole this song was probably the
most popular with the audience on
the entire program.
The entire company participated
in two numbers. "In Hot Tamale
Land." and "Sail on the Ship of
Love."
As a finale to the evening of rare
entertainment, a pleasing tableau
was given, "War," in which Tom
Walling as a soldier and Miss Agnes
Bajeck .as a Red Cross nurse partici-
pated and "Peace," in which Robert
Walling and Miss Elizabeth Waddick
were the chief figures.
The specialties offered during the
unfolding of the story, that of the
song act of litle Miss Charlotte Field
and William Krecklow in his "Hu
man Frog" stunt, were decidedly
pleasing. Miss Charlotte has an ex
ceptional stage experience for one so
young and her singing was most
charming. Mr. Krecklow in his act
was somewhat out of the ordinary
and showed his expertness in this
line of work.
musicians of the city and "Happy"
Smith and Mrs. Christine Coughlin
as accompanists were very artistic
in their work. The orchestra was
under the direction of W. R. Holly,
violinist, and composed of Dr. A. D.
Caldwell, bass; Dr. J. F Fogarty and
Cyril Kalina. clarinets; E. H. Schul
hof and Jack Ledgway, cornets;
Clarence Ledgway. trombone and C.
C. Burbridge, traps. Their playing
was all that could possibly be asked
by the audience and added much to
the very successful show.

OPENS NEW TRAIN
ING QUARTERS
Andy Schmader at Head of Louisville
Athletic Club To Get in Shape
for Forthcoming. Bouts.
Andy Schmader, Cass county's pop
ular light-heavyweight boxer, has
opened new training, quarters in
Louisville-that are as' complete, and
up-to-date as any in the country.
Andy's former quarters over the Ro
man Maier garage were destroyed by
fire a few weeks since, including all
his equipment valued at several hun
dred dollars.
The new quarters are to be head
quarters of the Louisville Athletic
association as well. This is an orga
nization of nearly 150 of the resi
dents of Louisville and vicinity. Sev
eral pool and billiard tables have
been installed in the club rooms for
the use of members, who were de
prived of that form of amusement
when Louisville citizens voted out
the pool halls at the election held. a
few weeks ago.
In addition the club is provided
with a sparring ring, numerous ath
letic devices and a shower bath.
Andy has secured a large- number
of photographs of popular boxers
which adorn the walls.
The large membership indicates
the popularity of the club, and with
a good man like Andy at the helm,
it should never grow less in favor
among the young men of our neigh
boring town.
Andy especially invites his Platts
mouth friends to drop in and inspect
the new quarters whenever they may
be in Louisville.
He is getting back on an inten
sive training schedule preparatory to
meeting some of the topnotch boxers
of the country and almost daily
workouts are the order of events at
the headquarters of the new athletic
club.

useful gifts, were placed in small

surprise and shower the members of
the party were treated to some very
dainty refreshments served by Mrs.

BECAUSE YOU . DEMANDED IT
un the first day of March, 1920,
over two years ago, this theatre de-
Cided upon a one price policy for all
productions, large or small. During
that time we think you will agree
with us we have shown some of the
biggest of them at prices of admis
sion which you could not find in any
other theatre in the United States.
It has been bur desire to stay with
this policy indefinitely, even tho
we barely made expenses on some
of the big ones. During the past
year, however, we have been asked
time and again by many of our pat
rons to show D. V. Griffith's master
piece, "Way Down East." We have
been anxious to do as odr patrons
demanded, but have been unable to
secure a contract from the produc
ers that would enable us to show
this stupendous photoplay at our
regular admission. We have finally
signed a contract for this picture
but at such a high figure that we
will be compelled to charge 2 5c for
children and 50c for adults includ
ing war tax and show it four nights.
If we have a large attenCance each
of the four nights we will be able
to have a small profit left -for our
efforts.
We trust that our patrons will
realize that this production is well
worth the extra admission as many
of you no doubt have paid two or
; three times the above amounts to
see it in Omaha. We, ourselves, paid
$1.65 per seat to see it.
"Way Down East" Is without a
doubt the biggest picture the mas
ter of the screen, D. W. Griffith, has
made since "The Birth of a Nation."
It is eleven reels in length and takes
at least two and a half hours to
show.
The dates of showing "Way Down
East" will be announced in the near
future?- Watch for them.

DEATH COMES
TO AGED LADY
OF THE CITY
Mrs. Amelia Haldeman of This City
Passed Away Last Evening at
Nehawka Age 83.
From Friday' Dally.
Last evening Mrs. Amelia Halde
man who has been for a short time
making her home with the B. Wolph
family near Nehawka, passed away
following an illness of some dura
tion and at the ripe age of eighty
three years.
Mrs. Haldeman has been a resi
dent of Cass county and Nebraska
since 1864 and has up until the last
few years been rated as one of the
wealthiest of the residents of the
county. Since the death of her sec
ond husband a number of years ago,
the fortune of this aging lady has
been slowly wiped out through poor
investments and the loss of her for
mer wealth and her continued poor
health has had a pronounced effect
on the hastening of the end of this
aged lady. In her last months she
has had the ministrations of the
kind friends and old neighbors who
had known her in her long years of
life here.
Amelia Bent was born March 24,
1839, in Wendall, Massachusetts,
and . spent her girlhood there ani
later came west to Wisconsin, where
in Racine county, August 24, 1856,
she was married to Addison P. Wes
ton. The family in the year 1864
came to Nebraska and located in the
southern portion of Cass county
where Mr. Weston took up sheep
raising and farming and at which
with the assistance of the good wife
he soon realized a good start in life
and at the death of Mr. Weston he
left a pleasing fortune to the wife.
In a few years Mrs. Weston was mar
ried to J. H. Haldeman at Weeping
Water and they later came to Platts
mouth where they made their home.
Mr. Haldeman preceded his wife in
death and since that time she has
resided alone at the home on North
5th street.
As far as could be learned there
has been no definite arrangements
made for the funeral services.

CURIO EXHIBITION
PLEASES GREAT MANY
Array of the Unique and Unusual
Arranged by Ladies Proves
Very Interesting.
From FrMay'n T'aiiy
The "Curio" exhibition that the
ladies of the Methodist church have
been planning for the past few weeks
was held yesterday Afternoon and
last evening at the church and wr.
one of the most pleasing events of
its kind that has ever been held in
the city and in which the many in
teresting relics and unusual articles
gathered by the ladies was enjoyed
by a large and well pleaxed crowd of
the residents of the city.
The exhibition numbered almost
everything that could hold the in
terest of the visitor and brought
back the memories of the past in
their associations with the years that
have gone by. The list was so large
that to give all would be a task im
possible, but everyone who attended
the two showings fouud something
in the collections that proved a real
delight and treat to them. There waa
a collection of fire arms among which
was a gun carried in the revolution
ary war, newspapers of old dates and
including accounts of the assassina
tion of President Lincoln, the death
of General Grant, and of the Chicago
fire and also there was shown some
crockery that had come through the
great fire and which was one of the
features of the exhibit. Mrs. John
McCarty also had on exhibition an
unusually beautiful quilt that had
been made by her sister. Mrs. Jessie
Bowen thirty years ago and which
had received a prize at that time
from the New Mexico state exhibit
held at Santa Fe. Another of the old
time articles Khown was that of a
Paisley shawl. Numerous articles
such as jewelry, coins, books, bon
nets, etc., coming from Germany.
England. Japan and China, as well
as the United States, made a very
cosmopolitan array of curios. Mr.
J.' V. D. Patch of the Masonic Home,
who has a number of very interest
ing relics, had his collection on ex
