HIGH SCHOOL VAUDEVILLE
GOES OVER WITH
A BANG
From ?ho time of the first note of
“Harney Google" from the High
School Orchestra until the last word
of “Swinging Down the Lane," by
the entire rust, reechoed through the
hall last Saturday night, the audi
ence which packed tho A. B. Hall
were treated to one pleasant sur-1
prise after another. To say that the '
show was a success would he of no ■
consequence. The audience unani- i
mously agreed that the entertain

Nome public has witnessed in some 1
The entire cast displayed talent)
which could not be excelled in any •
school. The acts were staged with ;
care and showed much endeavor on |
the part of the cast and those re- <
sponsible for tho staging.
The delay which is generally mani
fest in a vaudeville show made up
of different acts, was not in evi-!
deuce during the entire evening. ■
Everything was timed to a nicety end ■
went over wth a bang.
The High School Orchestra <om- |
posed of Miss Kristie Sather at the |
piano. Jack Hamlyn at the drums, j
Emerson Fromm, saxophone and Al- j
vin Bahlke. violin. dispensed some j
real up-to-date music which was en- j
joyed by everyone present. Included i
in the numbers rendered was the
famous hit "Barney Google." and its j
rendition was of the best.
The next number—"The Shop j
Girl”—including in the cast Miss |
Ad:i Arthurs. Miss Theresa Escholt.i
Emerson Fromm and Donald Lvle,;
was a scream. Miss Ada Arthurs, j
who took the part of the shop girl, j
play.Ml her part like a professional
of the footlights, as did Miss Escholt ,
in the part of the lady buyer. This j
sketch was a diminutive Musical i
remedy in every way with the ex
ception of the entertainment attach
ed to the act. the enjoyment derived •
from this sketch was anything but
diminutive. The chorus, composed j
of those taking part to the an. put _
their number over with a smash, j
Miss Emily Polet and Miss Kristie j
Sather “tripped the light fantastic” ,
to the music while the chorus in this !
act sang. The two pretty, youngj
dancers displayed charm, tact and '
very much talent in their dance.
young co-ed. in the Trio, started the j
next ait with a song. “Who Tares." j
which was enjoyed to such an extent
that the audience demanded more j
and the young lady responded to the i
applause with "Somebody's Wrong." j
Both songs were applauded with j
praise for the skill of the pretty, j
The next song In this act was
staged by two dashing young gentle- j
men. Mr. Emerson Fromm and Mr.
Alvin Bahlke, and to say that they j
put the number over with pep would |
be only a repetition of what has j
been said millions of times and
would never do justice to the num
ber. The best description of this !
number was rendered by a gentle- j
man sitting close to the writer of this j
article, in the show. He said. “Boy.
don't those two dudes knock 'em j
dead? They act like a cotapla old ;
time foot light atrlsts." The Trio. !
Miss Arthurs. Emerson Fromm and j
Alvin Bahlke ended this act with j
“Yes. We Have No Bananas Blues.” |
which caused the audience to make |
the hall ring with the applause ac-j
“The Eternal Triangle." Silent |
Drama, was the most cleverly ar- '
ranged and staged skit Nome has j
had the opportunity to view in some
time. Robert Lyle took the part of |
the Captions and the success of the j
act depended upon Bobby's ability to
put it over more than any one else. ,
and the result was that Bobby was i
there with the ability of a Belasco. j
and with the indispensible assistance
of Donald Lyle, the dashing young
hero, and Ole Bahr. the unpopular
villain, the act went over like a mil
lion dollars.
The song and dance Duo, by Miss
Emily Polet and Andrew Sather was
certainly an enjoyable act. The
clever young couple recalled to the
minds of many the days of High
School, and the first stroll down
town w’ith the "Best Girl.”
“One of Them Must Marry." was
the next act and It was a scream,
and the problem which presented It
self to the Aunt. Miss Ada Arthurs,
is soon solved between that clever
young lady and the equally clever
Miss Polet. The male characters in
this act were Jack Hamlyn and Al
vin Bahlke. and both these young
men played their parts like veterans.
II was along about this time in the
program when Robert Lyle, the ani
mated program, stepped from be
hind the scenes and announced that
two loose nuts were running wild,
and they would be brought nut in
front, anil upon the arrival of the
nuts on the scene, the audience was
thrown into fits of laughter by the
comical antics of the two nuts, who
were no other than Jack Hamlyn
md Alvin Bahlke. Everyone ex
pieted to see Jack kick the ceiling
when he started the high kicking
The Rose Dance was interpreted

It was beautiful. Miss Sather. who Is
m accomplished dancer, was afford
ed the opportunity in this act to dis
play her ability, and the young lady
ltd not let the opportunity pass un
til she had convinced the audience
>f her skill as a dancer.
