The St. Paul's Choir is putting on a real DEE-iight$ul affair and its named the D.D. Show! Two nights, no less, in the Town Hall, March, 29th and 30th and you'll sure get the worth of your 50 cents in en teitalinunent! Everybody's Askin' what 'the D.D. stands for—here's the low- down. ' The Show's full of D.'s. For instance there's Dancing and Drilling by 25 little girls of the Bateman Ballet class. I've had a sneak preview of their costumes they're adorable — and they'll have three changes—quite pro fessional, don't you think? The kiddies range in age from 3 to 11 and you cari take my word far it—they're cute! Then there's the Dashing Dum- bells. 1 mustn't give away their secret, but I'll go so far as to say they're reg'lar Devils (1851 vintage) a n d they're plenty Daffy! There'll be solo special- ties between times, and you ain't seen nothin' till you've watched the "Dose Dose and Dem" Min- iature Minstrels in action! An' by the way, I've been asked to (inquire if anyone in Clinton has a pet flee he'll lend for two nights. One.;uv dem niggahs rho' needs a flee—guarantees to take good care uv him like he .was his own! There's a DeLuxe treat too for the music lavers, The Goderioh Harboraires (e male chorus of 12 voices) agreed to become D.D: s for the nights of the 29th and 30th. These lads have banded together in the pure pleasure of singing, and have a large and attractive repertoire. We guar- antee you'll enjoy 'em, and isn't "Harboraires" en appropriate name? Puposely left the Drama last. A Double Dip 'one -act comedy called "Joint .Owners in Spain" is to be pre-zented by four cele- brated actress' imported—ahem— from Broadway! It wouldn't do to disclose their names at pres- ent, but maybe you could guess. There are three "Macs" and a "Smith". Get your chuckling practiced up! My Goodness the space is all gone and I haven't mentioned the $5.00 prize for naming the Show; Anyone can enter who buys a ticket. I'll give a full account of the details next week —another five bucks to the ane who sells the most tickets. Watch for ,this column in the next is- sue, folks—until then— Your Devoted "D.D."
