"LATEST IN VAUDEVILLE" DELIGHTS LARGE AUDIENCE Presented at the Peoples Theatre Tues day Evening Under Direction of Mrs. Frank L. Nash. The Latest in Vaudeville stag ed at the Peoples Theatre last Tuesday night by local talent was indeed a big success if success can he determined by applause. The vaudeville was under the directorship of Mrs. Frank L. Nash and given for the benefit of the Kastern Star. There were five acts or troupes, staged in real vaudeville style. The first act, the 1. B. Young Co., "youth and beauty in the latest song hits," featuring Hockaday and Nash; Wither spoon. Nash, Faison, and West, and Miss Hayes. In the chorus of this company were Misses Mendenhall, Lewter, Hockaday Spencer, Meta Jones, Cammie Vaughan, Holt, Hewitt, Hayes; Messrs. Glover, Jackson, Abner Nash, Boyd, Price, Zollicofl'er, Raiford, Witherspoon, Ross. Their song hits won much ap plause. Especially popular with the audience was the quartet of Witherspoon, Nash, Faison and West, who were called back sev eral times. The next number was Mrs. Frank L. Nash, with her talk and talk songs. Mrs. Nash is an en tainter of marked ability and her appearance on a program always wins applause. The Hawaiian Septette came next with their gems from the South Sea Isles. The members of the septette were Misses Fleeta Marks, Maude Jones, Louise Jackson, Dorothy Humph reys, Elizabeth Coleville and Josephine Gowan. Their cos tumes, songs and dances were ty pical of the South Sea Isles. This troupe received their full meas ure of applause, which they sso charmingly won. The Versatile Shaws: Mr. R. C. Shaw, his two daughters, Mrs. Murray and Miss Shaw, as sisted by Mr. E. A. Telliga, came next with a musical act that de lighted everyone present. Mr. Shaw, who is teacher and leader of the Roanoke Rapids Band played the cornet, Mrs. Murray viohn nd piftno; Mis Shw, pi ano and trombone; Mr. Tellaga, tromhrone. Their selections were skillfully rendered and roundly applauded, and especial ly The Rosary played as a solo by Mr. Telliga. Another delight ful number of this act was the duet by Mrs. w. S. Hancock and Miss Shaw. A "pair of lunatics" was scheduled next, but omitted from the program. Our local heavy weight, Mr. M. McRae Faison pulled some local lunatic jokes in its stead.

Ilollister and Calvary are the only two schools in the State that have paid for the work without aid from the State for seven months continuously. 122 Juniors stood the last in tellectual test for certificates. The highest grade was made by Mary Louise Bell of the Hob good School. In the jumping test Clyde Rook of the South Rosemary School won. Her rec ord was eight feet and nine in inces. On March 7, from live to sev en o'clock P. M. the boys and girls of the Junior Citizenship Club of the Hobgood School en tertained with a camp-fire sup per Misses Mary Washburn, Com munity Service Director, and Elizabeth Hyman, Principal of Hobgoed school, at which time the Juniors presented a very in nrogram called "The Home-Talent Circus;" otherwise, the Bar num and Bailey circus. Mrs. Barnum directed the guests to each interesting spectacle, the first of which was the two head ed baby. Two Juniors had their heads bound together to repre sent it. The next was the Siam ese Twins, a very interesting feature of course, as were all of them. Next down the line was Sleeping Beauty. It was a very great temptation, especially to the boys, to attempt to arouse her as they passed, but that was not permissible. Across the isle from Sleeping Beauty was the largest baby in the world. She weighed four hundred pounds and after each meal she gained fifty more. Down the isle from her was a wild woman. Of course, they did not linger long to see her. Next came Jepto, the monkey. When he be came tired of being a mon key, he changed himself into the smallest woman in the word. They called him a "2 in l"show. Then they came next to the mis sing link between man and mon key, a very interesting link, they assured each other. Last and best was a wonderful brass band. The children made the music with their mouths which was very soothing to the tired nerves of the guests after the excite ment of the circus. All of these things were repre sented by the Juniors, who did it in an admirable manner. After the circus they had a camp-lire mippi'i oi eveii tiling nice to eat imaginable such as pickle, eggs, cake, ham, sand wiches of various kir.ds, etc. Then came the pictures. After seeing the picture of the Reaver, Dan Bonn, a third grade pupil of the Calvary School, wrote this composition. THE REAVER The beaver is almost like the opossom except he has a short flat tail. He builds his home up in one end Of! the creek. He makes it out of j mt so j,e havo food enough . . , . . , . ; the winter, Be is a very? good swimmer. When ho hears' 'anybody he will dive.' ,,:..

Keep Your Chickens At Heme For the benefit of those who might not be familiar with the laws of the town of Roanoke Rapids we reprint section ten of Ordinances of the town of Roan oke Rapids. Sec. 10. That anv person or persons owning any fowl or fowls of any description whatsoever and allowing same to run at large in the town and off the premises of such person or persons shall be deemed guilty of a misde meanor and, upon conviction shall be lined five dollars. The police have been consider ate enough to make an almost house to house canvas advising residents that they must comply with this ordinance or be prose cuted. Chickens are fine in their place, but when they destroy neighbors gardens they are a nuisance.
