16 THE C A D U C E U S UNDER THE CROSS AND TRIANGLE HARRY HERZFELD J. H. DOWNIE SNAPPY SHOW CHANGES IN PERSONNEL. ALMOST FINSIHED. Last Friday evening at the K. of C. Building No. 1, a very fine entertain ment for the colored troops at this camp took place. The entertainment was in the form of a, novelty vaude ville show, and* the talent was entire ly colored. One of the features of the show was a “breaker of knots,” whose work at tearing himself out of the most difficult rope entanglements and knots, was exceptional. Another great ly enjoyed number was a chorus, of men who have been transfered to this camp from Camp Jackson. Some of their songs were of their own com position. The building was filled to capacity. Secretary Keleo wishes it announc ed that the pool table in this build ing will soon be fixed up; he is in hope of having it in as good condition as that of the table at the building at the Base Hospital. ORPHEUS FOUR. This week started off with the Y. M. C. A. with the Orpheus Four Male Quartette coming to the different buildings over the camp for four days. They were moved up one day and started their concerts last night at the Base Hospital and tonight will appear at Y-104 and 106. This afternoon they will appear at the colored Y’s at 4 o’clock and tonight at Y-104 and 106. Monday night they will appear at Y’s 103 and 105. They are a splendid quartet and the Y. M, C. A.'is to be complimented for putting on such a good program. Through the aid of the Y. M. C. A. educational secretary at Y 102 there is a class of 47 foreign and Illiterates who cannot speak a word of English and these men are being taught by three very pleasant lieutenants of their own company.
