Rehearsals for the big vaudeville
show, which will be presented at

the benefit of the B. P. O. E. band,
are progressing rapidly under tihe
very able direction of Jack Champion,
a professional actor who is well
known throughout the country in
stage circles.
"I donft want it to appear as though
I were merely boosting your show
and trying to hand out nice bouquets
to your local people when I say that
I have the most clever amateurcs
right here in La Grande that I have
ever had the pleasure of directing,"
said Mr. Champion today. "And
faave produced home-talents in most
of the large cities of the United
States.
"I am not exaggerating . it a
when I say that the people of
Grande will witness a vaudeville line
up Friday night that would give pr
icssionais a last race." j m
The bill will consist of eight big
time vaudeville acts that are tried out
successes that have been presented on
the best vaudeville circuits of the
country, by professionals during the
pust season. The opening act, "Ye
Olde Song Revue," will appeal to all
as it takes one back to tihe grand old
days of long ago, and the songs that
mother used to sing. A decidedly
pretty setting will bo constructed for
this number. The soloists will be
