ON PLANS FOR
COMING DANCE!
“Yes, sir, we are going to make our
masquerade ball this year the biggest
and finest dance in the history o£ Cor
dova,” was the statement made today
by one of the boys in charge of the
annual masquerade ball to be given
New Year’s day by the volunteer fire
department.
In past years the department has
tried to make money from its annual
dance. But this year there is a sur
plus in the treasury, and the boys say
they will spare no expense in making
their dance the finest ever given in
the c^ty.
The five members constituting the
committee in charge of the dance
met Saturday night and planned fea
tures for the dance. The committee
refuses to divulge details of its plans,
but promises that the boast, “the big
gest and best dance,” is not an empty
nnp
Tomorrow or Wednesday two or ,
three members of the committee will
visit every business house in the city
and secure pledges for the prizes
which will be awarded at the dance.
When the list of prizes is complete
it will be published, together with the
names of the donators.
The fifty costumes of various origi
nal designs obtained by the depart
ment from Seattle’s largest costumer
are expected to arrive on the steam
ship Northwestern, leaving Seattle
December 10. These will be rented
for a small sum to cover the expense
of procuring them. For many this
will solve the costume problem:
Mae Marsh in “Money Mad” is the
type of play that carries a vital mes
sage direct into the heart of every
man, woman and child. Its theme is
the old story that “murder will out,”
and that the way of the transgressor
is the way to shame and death. At
the Empress theater tonight. Also
Pathe News and Drew comedy.
