it III n dances and entertainments provided
M Il|j jU by the Charlotte branch of the Jewish
welfare board has forced the
townspeople to furnish better and
better affairs egch week. At present
the brafnch is haying a hard time flndjnK
Enough robm for the great num
Iber of soldiers who have formed tne
habit of coming to the temple at 409
West Seventh street on Wednesday
and Sundays to enjoy the entertainments
and refreshments arranged for
An innovation was introduced at
Wednesday evening's dance. The ladies
were permitted to choose their
partners and the idea made a great
hit with everybody. The music of the
Jazz band was full of "pep" and made
everybody long to get on the floor.
The Sunday evening vaudeville |
show and entertainment was unusual
because the performers came from the
camp rather than from the town. The
soldier artist who aroused most en- i
thusiasm were Messrs. Kirschertfjlatt.
- Bronson and Roberts. Little Miss
Smith sang and danced to the great
delight of everybody present. There
is a treat in store for the coming week
because the Charlotte branch promises
that the dance and entertainment
will be the "best yet."
