He was followed by the versatile “Billy” Cloonan, who sang and danced his way into popqlarity, staring with a colored make-up which was combined with some very good acting to make the hit of the evening. He also re cited quite effectively some new pieces that brought him a goodly round of applause. Next on the varied list of features was Sergeant Nelson with a line-up of singing and funny chatter that won ^ him a prominent place among the headliners. He presented a new piece of ragtime music, which was written by camp talent and which' was elected to be as good as any of the latest popular songs. The new portable moving picture machine which was recently acquired Mfy the base hospital branch of the K. of C. was given a tryout on the uni versal week y. The machine proved a success and weekly five-reel^rs will be an attraction from now on. WAS SNAPPY SONG ON K. OF C. PROGRAM. NEW SECRETARIES COME TO K. OF C. SCHOOL.

Spencer and Williams gave a sing ing and comedy act that went partic ularly well, some of the act being es pecially prepared for camp work. parody on “Sweet Adeline” entitled “Sweet Iodine,’’ and being a humor ous review of inoculation days, was timely. Ernest Evans and Co. had a singing and dancing act that went over in good style. “Billy” Cloonan went through a completep rogram of the -latest songs.
