TONKiHT AT A. It. HAI.I.
V*’h<*n the curl!»in rises slowly to
adoptions by the High school orches
tra tonight at the A. It. Hall, there
Is not a doubt but that the hall will
be crowded to capacity. This is the
first Vaudeville show of the season
and it is beinc given by a cast of
characters who have been continu
ous!} working on the .project for
many weeks. If current reports are
correct the public of Nome is to be
treated to some of the most classy
vaudeville offered for public approv
al in Nome for many years. Not a
detail has bee-n overlooked and the
actors and actresses are anxiously
awaiting this evening’s arrival when
they will be allowed to give the
pleasure-loving public some of the
beat entertainment offered here in
The writer in holding a conversa
tion with one of the actors was held
spellbound while that individual ex
plained the meri's or the show. Here
are some of the remarks which were
made in telling about the acts;
"Bov! that Shop (Jirl Act will
knock you cucoo. If that was the
only number on the bill it would be
worth twice the dough paid for a
ticket; and when the High School
Trio opens up with their sn. ppy
songs, a guy just wants to sit and
listen all night. Vietrola records of
great trios sound like the canned
music that they are when our trio
opens up. And. Mister, that silent •
drama would make Doug Fairbanks*
wish he had learned something j
about the Silent Drama before he ;
entered the field, could he attend.!
And. now. I come to something that j
is THE number- the song and dance •
duo—Boy! when I think about how j
the audience is gonna gasp when ;
that is pulled <*fT. 1 almost wish I was j
the guy in the dance. Graceful? Just |
wait till you see it. Reminds a fella !
of a coupla feathers floating through j
the a-r. When the next number ap-i
pears a feller is reminded of the real
Spanish Cavalier. This is one of the .
numbers that will be remembered 1
for many days as though is was be- j
ing enacted all over again. Now. i
brother, if you've never seen a Rose j
Dance. I want to go on record right j
here as saying that you’re gonna get !
the thrill of your life when this act I
i« staged. It is one of those dances I
that make a feller want to weep and j
laugh at the same time. It sets in
motion all the emotions a feller has
and a few that he never knew he had !
before And following this act will I
come the scream of the evening
'Inside Lookin' Out.' I'm not kid- i
din' you—if you don't fall off your j
scat laughing, it will he because your J
neighbor is holding you down. Then, t
right on top of this stunt the entire j
cast will hit the stage, and. boy! j
when they start that swinging down j
the lane you just want to jump up I
• >n the stage and embrace every last J
one of them for givin’ you an evenin' ]
that can't be beat anywhere in the i
world -that last remark is coverin’
lets o’ territory, but that's a fact."
This and much more was told to
the writer and the young actor was
so enthusiastic over the show that
he would have continued indefinitely
had he not boon called away to make
some more arrangements for the
show tonight. It *s a good cause,
and it is one of the most promising
entertainments the public has had
an opportunity to witness this sea
son. We predict a full house, and
iherefore are going early and get a
seat near the footlights.
