Elks Minstrel Proves a Success in Every Way Two Honrs of Clever Entertainment and Pleasing Music Afford ed by Local Men From Thursday's Daily The Elks minstrel of 10 29 will long be remembered by the large audience that fil!-d the Parrr.ele to its capacity lust evening, us one of the cleverest and most pleasing offer ings in the entertainment field that this city has enjoyed for a long time and one that reflect d the greatest credit upon the men of the commun ity that took part and made the event possible. The minstrel first part where mel ody held sway was a credit to a pro lestiional production and the circle of the minstrels in dress suits and the flashy red and black costumes, made a very pleasing sight. The presiding genius of the offer ins was L. L. Turpin, who had laid aside the duties of court reporter for a few hours to become the ring master of the musical section. The songs selected combined the beautiful and loved songs of the past as well as the rore present day and opened with the number back in the days before the world war. short skirts, evolution and in come taxes, as the curtain raising on the first part of these melodies were heard. The soloists of the minstrel com bined the best male voices of the city and included Leo Boynton in "The Valley of the Moon," John Frady Frank Rose," Rose." Ohio" in "My Old 'Tucky Home." Cloidt in "My Wild Irish Lyle Hervey in "Mighty Lik'a joe Capwell in "Beautiful and Ray Cook in "Chloe." As each of these numbers were given in a very beautiful manner the chorus of some twenty voices made added charm to the numbers. The production also featured two quartets and which revealed more of fine male voices, the one being com posed of Leo Boynton, John Frady, William Woolcott and John Cloidt. I while the other comprised of W. A. Wells, Frank Cloidt. John Frady and L. O. Minor both of these being dis- tinct hits in the numbers they off ered as their contribution to the show. The first part was not, however, all musical as the flood of fun and humor flowed freely in the hands of the jokesters, the black faced boys whose laugh producing gags proved a big part of the minstrel. The end men included the always entertain ing Charles E. Martin and Lyle Her vey as well as Wayne Bennett and Ray Cook, the two human trucks, and whose size was only exceeded by their cleverness. The entire minstrel owes a great deal of the success to the fine assist ance given by the orchestra under the direction of W. R. Holly and arranged especially for the occasion and which was composed of Mr. Holly, violin; Peter Gradoville, bass; George Lutter, cornet; Cyril Kalina, clainret; C. E. Ledge way, trombone; C. A. Marshal, drums; Paul Vander- voort. banjo and Miss Marjorie Am, one of the most talented young musi cians of the city at the piano. The orchestro was heard in support of the first part and during the presenta tion of the numbers of the olio and proved that they were a splendid addition to the musical organizations of the city and should be heard more often in the future. The second portion of the big min strel consisted of five acts of the most enjoyable vaudeville that could be asked and which demonstrated that Plattsmouth can stage a whole show with some of the best talent in the state featured. The opening of the olio was that of the appearance of Millie Bulin. charming and accomplished, in a number of selections given on her $500 piano accordian and in which this talented lady gave a number of the standard and popular selections in her most delightful manner and was forced to respond to several en cores. Bruce A. Rosencrans, In one of vaudeville's most clever and unus ual acts was as usual a real success and in this he was most ably assist ed by "Percy." the wonder horse, the marvelous keeness of the animal still being the wonder of the large audience and its cleverness both in action and construction reflects great credit on Mr. Rosencrans. "Percy" answered many questions and show ed an uncanny knowledge of the past, present and future. Bruce also gave several musical selections to add to the act and to which "Percy" added a clever danre. Cook and Bennett, the two dark hued mountains of joy, were featured in a dialogue of fun and in which they indulged in a number of jibes at well known residents of the com munity and with their own cleverly arranged act which was for laugh ing purposes only made a decided hit and without doubt was the head- liner of the entire production. Plattsmouth's youthful talent had the honor of the closing number of the evening's entertainment and in which little Miss Betty Ann McCarty, our own youthful soprano, was heard in "Conny Boy" and "A Rainbow Round My Shoulders" and in which she was assisted by Miss Marjorie Am as the accompanist. "The Seven Sax Boys" members of tlie local juvenile band, were heard in several saxophone numbers that proved the boys real artists in this line and their offerings showed the great promis" of the musical fea ture that tbese lads have in the fu ture, as well as refiVvting a great deal of credit of their instructors and the directors ot the band, W. R. Holly, L. I). Hiatt and B. E. Wood ward, who have had the training of the young musicians in charge. Thi; group was composed of Robert Hall, Herbert Minor, Au'lon Ronald. Don ald (,'otner, Edward Kgnberger. James Beghy, Jr.; and Arthur Kopp. The beys can feel well pleased with this act and their initial apeparant-e us real stage stars. It might be added that the min strel owes a great deal to the efforts of L. I. Hiatt, who has In-en the director of the entertainment and whose ability and .knowledge of the stage had a great oeul to do with the success of the Splendid affair.

DOGS MAZE TROUBLE One of the residents out in the vicinity of south 6th street where that thoroughfare joins Lincoln avenue, was down in the business section of the city, and was mighty warm under the collar as the result of the ravages of a pack of dogs that rove over that section of the city. The residenter had made a nice gar den, planted it to the spring radishes. lettuce, onions and other delicacies of the vegetable kingdom and was awaiting the time that he would be aide to wander out among the prod ucts of the garden and gather some fresh vegetables for the family lar der. This morning the residenter awoke and glancing out of a window saw six or seven dogs tearing over the garden and engaged in pawing and digging in the beds where the garden seeds had been so carefully placed.
