Buster Brown and his cheerful chums star in a cartoon comedy production titled Buster Brown's Holiday. The show promises the familiar mischiefs and pratfalls beloved by readers of the New York Herald. A beauty chorus will add charm to the program for one night only on Wednesday September 19.
The first production in this city of the new sensational melodrama The Girl From Texas will be at the Grand Saturday night September 15. The four act play by Fortimer Preston has drawn praise in other cities for its brisk action and blend of comedy and pathos. Prices for matinee and evening performances are 16 25 36 and 50 cents.
Disjointed quotes and jokes fill a page with mixed scenes from a Continental lady’s hotel bill to a milkman’s joke, a girl fearing the man in the moon, a strange downtown restaurant, and military missteps. The snippets mix humor, wartime recollections, and curious observations.
A fragmented schedule outlines a two day ministerial gathering with sermons, hymns, and talks. Notable items include an address by Philip Johnson, devotional by J R Glen, and sessions on Bible school work, teacher training, and church society topics led by W E Pierce and others. The program closes with an adjournment and later round tables chaired by Geo Korner and W H Colvig.
The text blends varied excerpts on forest regrowth after burning including aspen establishment and shrub succession, notes on spruce forests near St Nicholas, and a historical sketch of Ascot races dating back to Queen Anne. It also weaves in about older proverbs, a soldier’s lash anecdote, a dolphin fishing tale, and brief moral reflections on praise versus flattery, all reflecting a jumbled, multi-topic clipping.
