Price of admission, five an<i ten cente. This picture is said to be the greatest production of its kind in America, high ly entertaining and educational in its character. It is highly endorsed by all Scout Masters. In addition to the five reel scout pic ture there will be a two reel comedy, these combined feature« making a splen did evening’s entertainment. Buy your tickets from one of the scoute. When it comes to a juvenile program the Woodmere pupils are certainly past masters in the art. Evidently their reputation in this respect is of long standing Judging from the audience which assembled at the school Friday evening to enjoy the entertainment given by the pnpiis in conjunction with the Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girto. There is nothing more winsome in the way of entertainments than the produc tions of small boys and girls, exhibiting as it does careful training combined with youthful shyness and modesty which is always captivating. The Wood- mere pupils are delightfully refreshing in their presentation of a program. The natural spontaneity of childhood, un spoiled by self-conscious affectation, and y«rt performed in such perfection of de tail, wax wholly (-harming. Besides being highly entertained, the parents and friends present felt themselves once more thrilled with the spirit of youth and were the better for the experience. The program in detail follows: Recitation—Howard Kellaher "Cornin'Thru The Rye’’—Ten Girto. Piano Solo—Lenry Boogaret. Minuet—Ten Girls. Vocal Duet—Romeo and Juliet. Selected Reading — Roberta Downing. Piano Duet—Elsie Bergner an<ivVir- ginia Ables. A Natural Spell—Eight Boys. Piano Duet—Robie Cobb and Lucile Lafrd. =* * Selected Reading—Miss Roberta Down ing Bov Scot-r A xd C ampfire 8 bcti «:>!«. Violin Solo—Arthur Hughes. Play—"Every Boy." Piano Solo. Reading—Mildred Boone. It would be very difficult to make se lections for special mention, but the ten little girls who gave "Coinin’ Thru The Rye" will have to share the honors with the ten bonnie maidens who represent ed their grandmothers in the "Minuet,” while the eight rollicking boys in the “Natural Spell” which simply cannot be described, brought down the house. Also. “Romeo and Juliet” was as clever a stunt as the program contained. The play entitled, "Every Boy,” was given by the Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls and was a clever little presentation of the battle between the vices and the virtues which goes on in the mind and heart of “every boy” and which he must fight for himself ere he arrives at a clean and noble manhood. The vices and virtues were represented by boys and girls in a very creditable manner. Interspersed throughout the program were selections by the orchestra of the Millard Avenue Presbyterian Church, who kindly contributed their services for this occasion free of charge Their music was greatly enjoyed, as were the readings of Miss Roberta Downing, of the Gillespie School of Expression. Scoutmaster Mr. J. R. Leach, ex plained tlie movement, correcting some wrong impressions which seemed to pre vail in certain sections that the move ment was military in its nature. This, he said, was absolutely wrong. The movement was positively non-military and non-seetariau. Some of the most eminent men of the country were con nected with the organization in an honorary and advisory capacity. The movement is now world-wide in extent. Prof. Dixon and his corps of teachers are to be congratulated upon the success ful presentation of this delightful program. GI6ARETTE SMOKING IS GAUSE OF BLAZE The fire alarm sounded Sunday even ing at 7:30, calling out the Lento Volunteer Fire Department, nine men responding to the call. A blase was discovered in an empty building on 92nd street, caused by some boys who had gathered there for the purpose of in dulging in the forbidden pleasure of smoking cigarettes. The Are was quick ly extinguished, with little damage done. "b
