"M" CIRCUS IS ONE

OF BEST EVER GIVEN High School Stunt Draws Mammoth Crowd-Show Well Staged. "Bigger and better than ever," as advance notices heralded it, was the annual big "M" circus given by the high school students at the school Friday night. Every immaginable kind of amusement was offered for the selection of the visitor and if one did not suit another was sure too. Lining the halls of the first and second floor were all manner of side shows. "The Midway" as it was termed served up all the delights of a regular side show added a few rnore of its own invention. Every recitation room was crowded while the refreshment booths took up a big share of the corridor. Away up above at the top of the building was the big attraction of the evening, ''Miss Rainbow." Both performances of the show drew packed houses, patrons of the second show being in line shortly after the first entertainment began. Featuring the bill as "Miss Rainbow" was Lew Wallace, whose impersonation of a dancing cabaret girl captivated all who saw him. He was quite some dancer and would easily have deceived his audience were they not wise to the fact that "she" was a man. Supporting "Miss Rainbow" was an excellent cast of young men and women, headed by Miss Dorothy Mix, Fred Seifert and Dempster Beatty, while a cast of well gowned girls and smart looking boys composed the chorus. In the chorus were Josephine Ahara, Eleanor Meckelnburg, Mildred White, Grace Clark, Marion Clark, Dema Leopold, Grace Heitsmith, Margaret Barber, Robert Meckelnburg James Sweitzer, D. J. Graham, Logan Woodward, Charles Waidner and George Eherhart. Specialities before the big show were introduced by the Rubes' quintet, composed of Merlin Berberick, Roger Williams, Harry Mason, Donald Bolinger and George Eberhart. Following them on the bill was Miss Emmie Schmidt, the graceful little tight rope walker, assisted by the king of clowns, Oscar Peterson. The Tumbling Tumblers were well handled by Rolland Lentz, Clifford Harris and Guy Lehr. Exhibitions of brute strength vied with marvelous displays of skill and science in the athletic staged by Earl Chrisman. In the museum a rare collection of burlesque art masterpieces was to be seen, while in MISHAWAKA CLASSIFIED WÄNT ADS FOR RENT-Newly furnished room to one or two gentlemen, all conveniences, use of phone. 329 S.

LOUISE LOVELY IN "TANGLED HEARTS" AT THE TEMPLE. In "Tangled Hearts." the photoplay which is the feature at the Temple theater today, the old question of the double standard of morals for men and women is dealt with in an appealing manner.

"The Battle Cry of Peace," the biggest war film ever presented on the screen, will be at the Temple theater Monday and Tuesday of next week. the rogue's gallery the visitor was treated to all sorts of views of his friends. This was staged under the direction of Herbert Voelkerk. Telling clever fortunes and hitting the truth in many of them, Miss Mary Stearns and Miss Mae Williams were the bright lights of the galaxy of stars to be seen in the side shows. James and Roy Beard put on a magic show that was the equal of any ever staged by amateurs in this part of the county. In the aninal fair many select varieties of fowls and besasts were to be seen while the only living "jabberwock" was introduced by Miss Helen Loot, ring master. The shooting gallery, the duck pond and the nigger baby tent afforded plenty of opportunity for tests of skill, while the slide for life was a big enjoyment provider. In the laughing gallery cartoons of yourself, reflected in mirrors greeted the visitor on all sides. Joseph Ostrander conducted the Den of Mystery in a highly capable manner performing many neat scientific experiments, while the visitor to the 99th Wonder of the World led to a marvelous series of surprises as one obstacle after another was encountered in the walk through the darkened passageway. The police court was in full blast with Floyd Hambright as judge and James Boles as chief of police. The May pole dance drew capacity houses at every performance until the young ladies were forced to quit from sheer exhaustion. Much of the success of the affair is due to Hardy Stebbins, manager; Mllo Boles, finance; James Sweitzer, parade marshal; Dorothy Mix, big show; Earl Christman, side shows; HaroldCrum, barkers, and Miss Kern, faculty advisor.
