of national legislation as Smoot of
Utah, Bingham of Connecticut, and
Oddie of Nevada.

Nov. 17-18 Dates
of the Legion's
Minstrel Show
A Distinctly Different and Modern
Show Written and Directed by
Cook and Bennett.
Tickets are now on sale for THE
Minstrels of 1932, a sensational and
uproarious evening of modern enter
tainment. This show is a distinct de
parture from the usual local produc
tion. Instead of the conventional cir
cle of an all male cast, a mixed
chorus of twelve trained voices will
be used.
The personnel of this fine choru3
numbers some of the most talented
vocalists in the city and is as follows:
Sopranos: Cora Williams and Marga
ret Shellenbargcr-Hirz; Tenors: F. A.
Cloidt, David Robinson, W. A. Wells
and John Frady; Contraltos: Evelyn
May and Vivian Johns; Basses: Lynn
Minor, William Woolcott, Leo Boyn-
ton and Roy Knorr.
Thi3 unusual chorus will be heard
in numbers ranging from the melo
dies of the past and modern popular
successes to selections from "My
Maryland," "The Desert Song" and
"Hit the Deck."
The soloists of this production
will be Frank Cloidt, Margaret Hirz,
Cora Williams and David Robinson.
Needless to say the audience will be
delighted with the beautiful voices
of there talented artists. In addition
to these musical features, lovers of
close harmony will be given the rare
privilege of hearing a Ladies Quartet
as well as the Male Quartet.
The producers of this minstrel are
fortunate in securing R. Foster Pat
tcrEon for the important place of in
terlocutor. Mr. Patterson has had
much experience in local theatrical
productions and his fine speaking
voice and faultless diction will add
much to the perfection of the per
formance.
The fun makers of the show were
chor.en from the eld experienced war
horses of minstreldom and the pro
grams will list Lawrence Sprecher
and Raymond Cook on the one end
end Harrison Gayer and Wayne Ben
nett cn the other.
! This quartet of comedians will take
ike responsibility cf making every in
dividual In the audience forget his
troubles.- The rapid fire tomedy that
transpires in this part of the show
is high class and side splitting.
-. The second part of the show will
be a riot cf blackface burlesque, en
titled "What a Night! What a
Night!" This is a one act farce fea
turing Mary Beveridge, Millie Bulin,
Anna May Sandin, Bennett & Ccok
and the Four Sob Sisters.
All together this promises to be an
evening chock full cf nonsense, hi
larious fun and musical enjoyment.
The surest (indication of the suc
cess of this minstrel is the fact that
it wa3 written and is being directed
by the comedy team of Raymond Cook
and Wayne Bennett, the two black
clouds of joy who have scored so
many triumphs in the past.
Another thing that will insure
parked houses both nights is the fact
that the admission is being held down
to 35 cents for the choice reserved
seats and 25c for general admission.
LAST HOME GAME
The last home game of the
football season will be staged here
on Friday (Armistice day) with the
Tecumseh high school team. Thl3
ramo is expected to be one of the
hard flghts of the season and with a
team that has always proven a hard
Eot fcr the local3.
Tecumseh has alwaj's had a strong
tam in football over a period of
tho last decade, they seemingly
raising real foctoall arti?ts in that
section. The Platter3 marred the re
cord of this school two years ago
when they held them to a tie on the
local gridiron altho the team was
rated the class of the southeast Ne
braska conference.
This year the Platters have a team
that 13 one of the best that the local
school has boasted for several years
and which wlil.give the Tecumseh
aggregation something to worry
about. This will be tho last home
game with the high school team for
several of the players and including;
William Wetcnkamp, George Lusch-
insky, Robert Hirz, Stuart Porter,
Sam Arn, Robert Ruaimel, Greth
Garnett.
It 13 expected that thi3 game will
draw cne of the best crowds of the
season as the two teams have a keen
rivalry that will seek victory.

THE LILY
A beautiful lily grew on a
hill.
And nodded its head in the
breeze,
It wondered why it should fill.
Such a place among the trees.
A crow came along with his
lusty kaw,
And perched upon a limb.
Which made the lily lock with
awe,
At such a breach from him.
The lily then quite carefully
drew,
Around her; her spotless robes
of white.
As the robin joyfully sipped
the dew.
From a spray which f-parklcd
with light.
For Fuch a breach of etiquette
the lily thought to Fpurn,
As the honey bee came buzzing
by.
And viewed with decn concern
The nectai in the petals; as tho
lily heaved a sigh.
The crow is black as yonder
cloud.
The rob'n's breast is red
While the honey bee has no
Fhroud
To cover Its fearless head.
For all the creations here be
low, Each nan some place to fill.
Though come may, with beauty
glow
And others remain quite ct ill.
Lovo sprinkles all with a gen
tle spray, . ,
Of sweet melody of pong
Then joyfully, leads to tho main
highway 'J . ..': . ;
tWhere uonfi. .should, .ever.p.
