BUSINESS WILE
HALT FOR BALL;
| ALL ARE GOING
_
Businessp'aces Agree to Close Their
Doors for Short Time fo,
ReJ Cross.
So that nothing will interfere with
the success of the Big Doings for
the Red Cross tomorrow night at
Union Hall, all the business houses
in town have agreed to close from
10:30 at night until i in the morn
ing. This concession was obtained
by Mrs. Ryus and Mrs. Hall, acting
as a committee, and it was most
cheerfully accorded by all. As the
pool halls ordinarily expect consid
erable business betwen these hours.
cr indication is furnished that
all are willing to help.
Nothing is being left undone to
make the old time dance a success.
All the arrangements are in the
hands of experienced and willing
workers and there is little chance of
anything being overlooked. Men
who have dealth at faro and black
jack when the sky was the limit and
the lookout man kept his feet on
the rung of his stool to avoid the
gore will sell you chips at the same
old price, and you can play the
wheel or try to make your point
at craps with all the vim of the
old days The timid have no cause
for fear for Jim Hagan will be at
the door to see that no-one has
anything on their hip.
Continuous entertainment will be
provided on the dancing floor, for
Viv Durand’s music will be calling
from early till late, permitting hard
ly more than time for the separators
to get in their work at the bar. And
there will be a lot of surprises that
are calculated to make Saturday
night one to be remembered. The
tickets are going fast. Better get
yours.
NOTED ACTRESS
L
OF
Bessie Barriscale Will Appear To
Night in Splendid Double Header
Show.
Through the generosity of Messrs.
Burns & Rosburg and the staff of
the Coliseum, Bessie Barriscale will
entertain this evening for the bene
fit of the Red Cross. As she has
already made her bow to Nenana
audiences Miss Bessie needs no ad
vertising beyond the statement that
she will positively appear. So that
the Red Cross might get the best
in her repertoire she has selected
a Triangle Kay-Bee feature, with
which she is entirely satisfied, for
the expression of her remarkable
talent. A suitable curtain-raiser is
provided in a late edition of the
ever popular Pathe, one of the best
that has been seen for some time.
If this were not enough to fill
the house ordinarily, the S. R. O.
I sign has been made a certainty by
the announcement that the first
Four-Minute Woman is to appear
this evening. It looks like a big
night tonight.
As the entertainment is for the
benefit of the Red Cross no war
tickets will be required. Admission
will be, as usual for the big features,
50 cents, with reserved seats at 75
cents.
SERVICES TOMORROW
Father Monro, head of the Catho
lic church in Fairbanks, who arrived
in Nenana on a brief visit this week,
announces that he will hold services
I at the new church tomorrow morn
ing at seven o’clock, and on Sun
day morning at nine-thirty. Father
Munro will return to the upper town
during the early part of next week.

Novel Attraction Proves That the
‘Great Whito Way' Has Nothing
On Nenana.
The cabaret staged last evening
at the Nenana club, for the benefit
of the Red Cross drive, was a
splendid success, both financialy and
otherwise, the cabaret artists keep
ing the crowd entertained from the
first number until the finish.
Messrs. Bergren and Keffer, on
the \ iolin and guitar, started the
pet forntar.ee and the other numbers
came in quick succe-sion, interspers
ed between the dances.
Kenneth Diven, accompanied by
Mr. Frark D -tier, r nietod the wel’
known Broadway hit, "A Garden of
Roses’ 'and was forced to reply with
an encore. Mr. Diven has a strong
bass voice and his reditions were
as much enjoyed as if Caruso him
self had been on the bill.
Following Mr. Diven, came the
Girls of Company B, attired in the
uniform of a regular doughboy, and
marched up and down the floor
1 singing "Send Me Away With a
Smile, Little Girl." which proved so
acceptable to the audience that they
had a hard time escaping from sev
eral encores. The Girls of Company
B were Misses Thora Slippern, Betty
Foster, Queenie Russell and Valen
| tine Anderson.
Next on the program, came Mrs
Leyn, who scored one of the great
est hits of the evening by her ren
dition of the world famous battle
hymn of the great French republic.
So great was the applause awarded
! Mrs. Leyn that she favored with the
i second encore on the song and dur
ing which the entire audience stood
up and joined in the chorus. Mrs.
i Leyn has a splendid parlor voice
and her singing was a pleasant sur
prise to many of her friends who
had not heard her before.
Folowing the Marsellaise. the Star
; Spangled Banner was sung by the en
tire crowd, the applause calling for
the second encore, which was then
given.
! Then came Miss Valentine Ander
: son, who sang in true cabaret style,
a real love song, entitled “Give Me
a Smile.” Miss Anderson made the
rounds of the tables singing to each
individual and not only obtained
many smiles, but was showered with
; money from every angle of the hall.
So great was the rain of silver that
six bell-hops were kept busy raking
in the money and pouring it into
the Red Cross horn, where all tips
for entertainers were thrown. Miss
Anderson was, of necessity, com
pelled to repeat part of the song
which started another silver hail
;from the audience.
j Next on the list of entertainers
came Mrs. Sheldon, accompanied by
Mr. Wm. J. Keffer. Mrs. Sheldon
sang “If They’d Only Move Old Erin
Over Here’’ and received a great
round of applause, replying to the
insistent demands for an encore with
' “Lilac Time,” with Mr. Keffer sing
! ing second. Mrs. Sheldon proved
herself a very capable entertainer,
but escaped before she could be pre
vailed upon to sing again.
Following this, several dances
were played in succession, the party
finally breaing up near the hour of
two o’clock.
Great credit is due to Mr. Fred
Rhind, who was in charge of the
entertainment and details ir con
nection with the cabaret, and owing
to Mr. Rhind’s familiarity with stag
ing such performances, not even the
smallest deails were omitted. Mr.
Rhind had but two days in which
to arrange his program, and being a
stranger in town insofar as having
a line on the local talent was con
cerned, his success with the enter
tainers was little short of marvel
ous. Mr. Rhind states that were it
not for the enthusiastic manner in
which the performers took up the
work and their capability in this
regard, it would have been im
possible.
Ralph Waechter, in charge of the
liquid refreshment department, was
kept busy sdl evening along with his
staff of capable and efficient bell
hops, who were qn the go all the time
