East Chicago society turned out to witness the first performance of the Woman's Minstrels held at the Hartley Theatre last evening. From the Intro- j fiuctory number to the grand finale the entire cast of the company comprising 11 local talent, carried their parts creditably. Movie pictures preceded the rising of the curtain and inasmuch as this benefit was being staged for the Infant Welfare Work in the Twin Cities field, the Illustrations of properly cared for babies struck a sharp contrast to the little ones not receiving the proper amount of care nor their parents the proper Instruction la the rearing of their offspring. A film was also shown depicting the fly pestilence and the contagion that might be expected and which often is the source of much sickness wh?re precautions are not taken to safeguard the infant. At 8:13 sharp the curtain rose and a splendid stage setting was viewed with all save the eight end men or women rather, attired In white with buster collars and large black ties. "Chasing the Rainbows In chorus was sung by the entire caste with orchestra end tambourine accompaniment. Interspersed with each vocal number, were the "hits" of the end women with Mrs. Thos. Fogg acting the rart of Interlocutor. In this scheme of arrangements Mayor McCormack. City Clerk Thos. T. Kichards, Lemuel Booth and Director Clark of the Minstrels received their Just and full share of the satirclal witticism. Abe Ottenheimer, V. J. Murray, Harry Cohen, Charles Nassau, H. K. Groves and Abe Goodfriend came In for their share of recognition of the town's ellgibles and were dealt with In lieu of their vocational status. Mrs. Virginia Selig scored the first musicale triumph by singing, "How Tou Gonna Keep 'Em Down on .the Farm"; Mrs. Hazel Campbell, who always charms, pang, "Tumble Down Shack of Athlone"; Mrs. Minnie Goodfriend appeared in a screamingly funny ballad, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find"; Mrs. Gertrude. Melville sang, "Don't Cry Frenchy"; Mrs. Irene Stephens in. "Persian Pearl"; Katherino Booth In the "Jazz Baby", Miss Mary Louise Lloyd in "Bless Tour Little Heart"; Bess Klempner in, "Dixie Military Ball"; Miss Idresse "Williams in. "Wonderful Mother of Mine"; Miss Sybil Clapper In, '"Tou Cannot Shake That Shimmy Here," and Miss Blanche Dessmeir In the concluding number, supported by the entire chorus, brought overwhelmingly applause as each of their numbers was concluded. It would be hard to pick In the choice of the singers, they were ell wonderful and were brought back time and time again to repeat If nothing more than the last stanza of the song they had chosen to make so pleasing. Director Clark may feel a Just pride In his supervision of these minstrels and his wise cliolcein the talent selected. An interesting subject, "Woman's Rights", was presented by Mrs. Clara Edgar who brought out peals of laughter" and was repeatedly applauded. Mrs. Irrne Stephens appeared in a group of songs with Mis3 Annette Specter accompanying her on the piano. Mrs. Stephens has a voice of the rarest clarity and Miss Specter is a pianist of great merit. The concluding number of the Minstrels was "A Real Facre Comedy" with Miss Bess Klempner rendering "Tackin' 'Em Down." Mrs. Hermansdorf er singing, "Dixie Is Dixie Once More." Those of the comedy were Jane Jones, Lydia Summers. Catherine Both, Minnie Goodfriend, Virginia Sellg, Bess Klempner,

Fishing tima is here. Empty school seats ara eloquent of tha lure that exists for the small boy in a can of worms, a stick and string and bent pin paraphernalia. The call of brook and line, once answered, makes a life-long devotee of Sir Izaak's sport, as witness the army of anglers who hie annually to the haunts of coy trout and gamev salmon. Canada is the premier fishing ground and it is not necessary to go far within her boundaries to strike good fishing. This is especially true of the eastern provinces that aro poika-dotted with lakes big and little and streams narrow and wide. That corner of Quebec iust west of the Maine boundary and north of Vermont. New Hampshire and New York states, is a famous fishing country. First comes twenty-four square miles of trout and bass stocked water known as Lake Megantic. To take a twenty-five pound lake trout by trolling is no uncommon experience here.

Curiously, the popular resort Magog isnt on Lake Magog, but on Lake Memphremagog, in which landlocked salmon are planted regularly. Four to six pounders may be hooked at any time between June and September. The record salmon taken from this lake weighed 12 pounds. These salmon are gamey fish and give the angler wonaerful sport as they leap from the water several times in succession.
