The Mkkey Mouse Club got nicely under way at the Fox Elsl ore theatre last Saturday at the special one o'clock matinee for kiddles. The price of admission was one penny and some useful toy, or four potatoes. Our first meeting was such a great success too. About 1200 kiddies attended our first meeting oh, so very many that I couldn't begin to get all their names down, no matter how badly I wanted to but here are a tew I noticed: Red Beall, Dick Judson, the Allport boys. Buddy Hultenburg and Lyle Cave. There were-113.05-in pennies and three big truck loads of po tatoes and toys for the Salvation Army to give to some of the poor er little boys and girls. Every Mickey Mouse who came can be happy In the thought that their penny and toy, or potato made some less fortunate little boys' cr girls Christmas a lot merrier than it would have been otherwise. Besides the cheer that their presents spread, the Mickey Mice had a wonderful meeting. Big Chief Mir key Mouse Dow told them all about the new club and how to beeome members, then the meeting was open for any ques tions the Mickey Mice wanted to ask the Big Chief Mickey Mouse. After they had found out all about It they sang songs and had a very Jolly Christmas party.
