RED CROSS SHOW
PROVES TO BE A
VAUDEVILLE HIT
There was a nine pointed star at
traction at the Liberty theatre (A. B.
Hall), last Saturday night and sever
al of the points of the star had more
than one scintillating ray. It was a
night of nights and easily demonstrat
ed that Seward is not wanting for
good theatrical talent of all kinds foi
at the Red Cross benefit there were
single acts, singing and dancing, mon
ologists, mystifying maneuvers, Rus
sian ballet dancing, double and treble
character sketches and then chorus
girls, eight—count ’em—with Sew
aid’s George Cohan, hrich Lucas, in
two clever ensemble numbers with
plenty of good telling local hits
thrown in for extra measure. On top
of the program there was a candy
man and prominent men acting as
ushers and selling programs, all for
i the Bed Cross cause.
The Liberty Theatre was packed to
the doors when the first overture was
! played and then in rapid succession
came the acts as fast as restricted
itage facilities permitted.
The first number on the program
was that of Mrs. O. J. Keating and
| Erich Lucas, assisted by J. Hannon
and “the babies”. “A Bargain Day,”
the title of the sketch, abounded in
tunny situations and many, many,
good lines and all of these went across
the footlights in fine shape. Mrs.
Keating, with her infectious little
laugh, her pleasing stage appearance
and the able handling of her lines
was “a home loving little darling,” all
right, all light. Lucas gave the pat
ter conversation with a vim and dash
that kept the audience aleit for every
new development. Hannon, while
having just a bit, did it 0. K., as the
radio boys have an exclusive way of
doing. The act was given in a pro
fessional manner.
Miss Thelma Ellsworth always
pleases by her piano selections and
she did her turn so satisfactorily that
she was forced to respond to an en
core.
Then came “the big noise,” Hannon
again, and his five minute monologue |
and extra stunts brought out the ap
proval of the audience in a satisfying
way.
Johnny Nelson was the principal in
a rope tying act that was the mysti
fier of the evening. Dressed in white
tights, Nelson permitted himself to be
tied by ropes which was knotted here
and there in a deft manner. He was
then placed on the floor, with a flag
over him. In a very few minutes he

1 came up fully dressed. Isaac Evans
I and Bob Guest watched the act and
afterward said that if Johnny ever
got in their clutches he would be nail
ed in a cell and the hammer thrown
away to keep him in a safe place.
Lucille Whictcmore, as a dashing
little dandy boy, dressed right up to
the minute, gave “They are wild, sim
ply wild, over me” with a dance that
required ner to respond with a Swede
girl act which also merited an encore
I but she only took it with a bow. Lu
1 cille Whittemore is a clever perform
i
i er.
Marit Eide, Seward's child singer
and dancer, gave “He's all Shot to
Pieces by a French Girl's Eyes,”
which ea rned a decided encore and the i
little miss repeated her chorus. Marit
Eide has a pleasing stage appearance
and is a dainty little dancer as well
| as singer
One of the surprises of the evening
was the toe dancing of Rogna John
son. Her act was short but artistic
and the little girl did it all over again
for an encore.
Mr. Fouch and Miss Torrey pre
sented the old English sketch “Is
Marriage a Failure” in a most credit
able manner. There are some very
good lines abounding in this sketch
and both Miss Torrey and Mr. Fouch
grasped them thoroughly and the
audience was most appreciative of the
work of these two artists.
Perhaps the big hit of the evening
was the musical comedy sketch with
Erich Lucas and the eight before men
tioned “chorus girls.” Dressed in
pretty ml dresses the eight started
the sketch with local hits and all made
j their points. Few were missed in the
‘ sallies. Then on came Lucas. The
big huge table on the stage was put
out of the way, Vida Rich* fainted, of
course it was a “put on” faint, but the
joke that followed, got right over;
and the two selections were given. The
; fust was “Row Down Before Uncle
j Sam” with a military drill and for an
| encore “Somewhere in France,” a
! jingling catchy air, with another
| march. This act went, as they all sav '
; “big,” for it was exceptionally good.
Lucas and his assistants scored heav
ily by their singing, etc.
The “chorus girls ' were Margaret
Romig, Vida Rich, Mrs. Otto Foehl
man, Mrs. Frank Waller, Elizabeth
Romig. Edna Robb, Ethel Leslie and
I Jane McNally.
And when the vaudeville show was
1 over, the audience filed out ad declar
ing that “they enjoyed every minute
of it”
The different sketches, etc., was the
result of weeks of patient work, all
taking part giving liberally of their
time lor the benefit of the Red Cross.,
The entire performance reflected j
greatly upon the stage direction of F.,
E. Leslie, who like the others, gave
his time without any remuneration,
except that of approval from the
audience. Both Mr. Leslie and those
taking part can rest assured that their
efforts were certainly appreciated. A
goodly sum was realized from the
vaudeville show' as all performers
furnisned their owrn costumes; the
programs were donated by the various
public spirited business men; the
candy, etc. sold by that peerless sales
man, Jack Dowling, was given to the j
j Red Cross below cost and all adver
tising was gratis on the part of the
Gateway.
After the show the Seward Grill
and Sexton & Thwaites filled up wdth
parties and several house parties were
also given, which shows that every
body was alive to the night from its
inception until the “after/'
Oh yes, the seating arrangements
were well handled by Manager Mc
Donald’s corps of assistants, Dr. O. J.
Keating, Mayor Frank Cotter, E. R.
Tarwater—and others.
It was announced this afternoon
that $395 was the sum taken in at the
vaudeville show. This amount includes
$18 from the sale of programs and
$16.70 from the sale of candy.
