"The Geezer," Nat Fields' tabloid musical romedy as produced at the Orpheum theater last evening is about the worst excuse for & play that has been seen in this city In some time. There is not a single thing to recommend the production. The verdict as rendered by practically the entire audience at last night's first show was that It was "rotten," The play has no point. It is suggestive, there are nothing but , slapstick .comedians of the "burlesque" type In It, and there is not a girt in the chorus that can sing. The costumes are ordinary and there was not a Joke that was not desslcated with age. When the actors in a play attempt to spring that "Youno" gag in this day and age It ia time for the audience to get up and leave.
There are scores of burlesque shows

Wosczinski, with the result that a mass-meeting has been called for next Tuesday evening, at which time the project will be presented to the citlsens of West Hammond and those of Hammond who may be interested. Miss Brooks realizes, as well as any one else, that West. Hammond is practically Isolated from Its neighboring cities by railroad tracks. She knows that the gateway to West Hammond is Hammond and she wants to make West Hammond the gateway to Hammond. So the matter was taken up with the warehouse commission and It is expected that as soon as the people of

There was placed In the Lion Store furniture window today an exhibition of which every patron of Hammond's public schools may well be proud. The exhibit consists of furniture which was built from the very bottom up by the pupils in the summer manual training school, under the direction of

The work Is representative of all classes who are permitted to take the course. About twenty-five boys from the fifth grade up took the summer course. .While the work on exhibition la

tween Hammond and East Chicago Elks will mean a hard game, ' as the magnificent loving cup which will be given to the winner, will be a proud trophy for the winning team. It will be remembered that both East Chicago nd Gary took the former loving cups from Hammond, who will make an effort to take this one. Negotiations with bird men for airShip flights are still pending, as it eems to be a difficult matter to secure them for the Hammond grounds. A large purse has been set aside for this purpose and if possible the Elks will have an aeroplane flight. It was the popular vote last night nnt in h a v. ."Mmmv Ptahhw mnA him
