i ompang being members and attaches
of the House of Representatives.
The dinner was a fine one, well
served and much enjoyed. Lieutenant

getting the turn of the joke on all he
introduced. He also lifted his tender
tenor voice and warbled "Killarney."
Edward Dooner, of Philadelphia, sang
"Kilkenney" and "The Kerry
Dance," audi ,lohn Kellev, of Philadel
phia, sang a Harry Lauder song that
evoked much hilarity. After former

If you haven 't reserved all the seats
you'll need l'or the Carlisle Elks' frolie
I at the Majestic Friday evening, Sat
urday matinee or Saturday evening,
you'd better take this tip unto your
self—
(JO right down to the box office and
pick them out and—hurry.
The seat sale opened yesterday and
from all indications the question of
obtaining suitable reservations twenty
four hours hence is going to be a
very serious one. To-night the Carlisle
Elks appear for the last of the three
"openimg night" series in their own
home town and Friday morning the
big troupe of fifty or more of the best
looking members of the order in the
Cumberland Valley will be guests of
Harrisiburg Elks During the week end
the "They're At It Aigain" will be
put on here for the benefit of the so
cial committee of the local lodge
From Carlisle the committee of Har
risburg Elks anil their wives who
watched the first night performance,
brought down all kinds of live-wire re
ports of the 191.3 effort of Leo McDon
ald's Elk actor-folks; the feminine
contingent was absorbed to the point
of abstraction during that part of the
show in which the big and delightful
lj' gowned chorus came on and during
the homeward ride they were abstract
ed to the'point of dreaminess. Many a
puzzled Elk has since wondered at the
wifely complaint of lack of "a thing
to wear."
Perhaps a word as to what the show
is to be wen't be amiss.
Objections it ippeam have been
made as to the Elks masquerading as
females and it has even been hinted
that the play isn't really anything too
nice tor the community s morals. This
led to a general protest of the more
noble minded citizens and it is finally
decided that the show cannot be pro
duced until after having been passed
upon by the censorship board of the
borough.
The Elks plav before the committee;
the censors approve; the continuance
of the piece is permitted, and one mem
ber of the board is so enthusiastic
about it that he invites the company
to his country hoine.
