Sweetzr und grunduughter, REX HALL GIVES --.'-' , i i RECENT PROMINENT SOCIAL EVENTS WELL ATTENDED. Manager Sherwood Keeps up Stand--,. ard of Excellence in Large Hall. Lovers of fun in summer are being well cared for by Manager Bert M. Sherwood, of Rex Hall, judging from the splendid , success of the many events recently that have been held in the large 'hardwood floor audi torium. The Serpentine dance of a week ago is still the subject of pleasant comment in the social world of La Grande, and its pretty effect still lingers in the minds of all who. were present. This was but one of several' events of great importance to the fun levers. Last Saturday night the base ball boys held another of their pleas ant dances in the Rex hall and the at tendance was unusually large Every convenience for summer has been added to the popular hall and not a thing is left undone by Manager Sherwood to properly care for his large list of patrons. His personal supervision of detail is what has made the hall a success from the beginning, and he has never tired in his efforts. It has repeatedly said, "Sherry is never so happy as when he is doing something to make someone comfort able." A slight change is made in prices of dances at the Rex. In other words dancing has been put on a meter( sys tem you pay for the number of dances ycu partake of. With the 25 cent admission ticket, goes five dance tickets. When you have danced five times each additional ticket costs five cents, or a ticket for the entire evening costs seventy-five cents. The new plan is working well and seems to be popular with all who dance. .. , Josephine Walsh of Prescott, Wash ington, passed through the city this n-.orning on their way to Elgin where tliey will visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fine.
