AMERICAN LEGION
PROGRAM PLEASES.
LARGE AUDIENCE
JOSH LEE AND SOONER QUARTET
TE CAPTURE CROWD WITH
FUN AND MUSIC
More than 500 hundred people laugh
ed at and with Josh Lee, "Famous for
Fun," and applauded to the echo the
brilliant performance of the Sooner
Quartette in their appearance at the
high school auditorium last night un
der the auspices of Weart Gray post
of the American L/sgion.
The program opened promptly at
8:30 with Josh Lee in a couple of
Pathetic selections. From this on, the
quartette and the well known fun
maker alternating, the occasion was
a riot of fun and harmony.
Josh Lee scored triumphantly with
"Dan O'Connor Pigs Is Pigs" and
many other selections, and when he
depicted the character of the simple
ton who was standing on the side
walk, "saying nothing to nobody and
nobody saying nothing to him" till
somebody came along and tied a horse
to him, he captured the youngsters,
dozens of wliom at the close of the
program left the building imitating
fairly well Josh's style and manner
isms in this number.
The Sooner Quartette brought down
the house with ''Lucky Jim," and "I
Will Lend You.'' Their first number,
"Annie Laurte,'' with variations, was
artistic in the extreme, and drew a
Vociferous call for an encore.
Altogether, it was a well balanced
program anj earned fairly the institut
ed praise of the large audience gen
erously accorded.

BREWER GIVES DAMAGING TESTI

Brewer told the jury who are trying
the 19 men in connection with the
death of Albert Feltz, a private de

if the latter messed around" with Hat

FUNERAL OF STARR AT DEWEY
Associated Press
Muskogee, Feb. 23—The funeral, of
Henry Starr, the last of the old time
Indian Territory outlaws, who died
yesterday afternoon at Harrison, Ark,
from the effects of a bullet wound sus
tained in a raid on the People's Na
tional bank of that city last Friday
will ba held at Dewey, Oklahoma, to
morrow afternoon.
The services will be conducted by
a Methodist minister, in accordance
with the wishes of Starr's aged mother
who was at 'he bedside at the time of
death-
A balanced program well rendered
marked the celebration of the 16thl
anniversary of Rotary by the Drum
right Club at the Roberts hotel begin
ning at 6 p. m. last evening.
This occasion had been designated
as Ladies Night. and as a result the
banquet hall was graced with the
'presence of the wives, friends, sisters
[and sweethearts of Rotarians-
The meeting was called to order by
President John Briggs, who presided
till the end of the dinner. The Rever
end Peter Parker invoked a divine
blessing upon the proceedings, after
which every man and his wife stood
to, doing justice to a banquet wfhich
from the standpoint of cuisine and ser
vice is seldom equalled.
Before turning the session over to
the Toastmaster iChas. Webster, Presi
dent Briggs made a brief announce
mont regarding the District conven
tion of Rotary which convenes In
Wichita, Kansas, April 8 and 9.
He made a special request that the
ladies lend their cooperation in mak
ing Drumright's representation at that
meetin ga notable event, asking for
ideas for making their appearance
there distinctive.
As an example of what is desired he
pointed to a suggestion which has
been offered that each member of the
Drumright delegation be armed with
a toy drum with the word, right, in
scribed upon it. Another related idea
was to wear hats of this general type.
The drums could be used in making
noise in the parade, the President
pointed out.
''Sir Sidney" Webster did himself
proud in discharging the duties of
toastmaster, handling the details of
the program in a masterly manner.
The first number, of course, was
singing—by the Rotary quartet, com,
posed of six members. As pointed out
by Director Brill, this quartet has two
distinctions possessed by no other
musical unit in history. It is the only
quartet that ever marched down the
corridors of time composed of six
members- lit also is the only quartet
in history which sings in unison.
The body rendered in a very imnres
sive and touching manner that old
ballad. "Under the Crust of the Old
| Apple Pie,'' witih the audience joining
| lustily in in th^> encore. Ther e are
few more impressive moments to be
experienced than that transpiring
when a hundred throats throbbed with
that well known refrain.
"Under tlfe crust of the Old apple pie
There Is something for you and for
I—"
et cetera ad infinitum.
The members of this remarkable
HOMER O'DELL
Director
quartet are Brill, Miser, Arnspiger,
Uden, Shanks, and Hazelton.
As soon as the saddened audience
| had reacquired its embonpoint, and
had again become settled in Its chairs,
the sperlters were introduced, one by
one, by Toastmaster Webster.
Frank Foster discoursfd entertain
ingly for 30 minutes on The History
of Rotary, and made a deep imp-es
slon. The substance of this able dis
course will be found further along in
this recital.
The second speaker of the evening
was Walt Miser, whose subject was
Progress of Rotary. In a happy twenty
minutes discourse he reflected great
credit upon both himself and Rotary.
The significant thing In his account
is the fact that there are now 800
Rotary clubs with a membership of
65,000 of the livest business men to be
found and this tremendous * growth
has been achieved in sixteen years
without a single paid organizer.
Arthur O'Dell described in an ?n
tertalnly in A Visit to International
Headquarters the workings of the
various departments there- He, as he
explained, made this visit expressly
to be able to deliver a speech upon
this subject.
Miss Ruth Teague sang a beautiful
solo, responding to an encore.
Varney Arnspiger, in an impromptu
address, made an eloquent appeal to
the philosophical sensibilities of his
hearers upon the transcendental sub
ject of The Crime Wave. Anticipating
the power of farreaching significance
of tWis discourse, the President, Mr.
Briggs, had provided a stenographer
who took the address down verbatim.
It will be sent to international head
quarters to become a part of the di
dactrc records of International Rotary
and will no doubt be published in var
ious journals in the progagation of j
Rotarian ideals.
E. V. Weaver was the only other 1
speaker so complimented.
Rev. Peter Parker in his address, j
In Memoriam, tanglit the significance
of death and the eternal application j
of the teachings and pitinciples of:
Rotary here and hereafter.
Joseph Rolette is the only member j
who has a place in the obituary an j
nals of the club
A delightful recitation Was deliver
ed by little Miss Mildred Newman,
after which Mrs. Angeline Russell-
favored witlh a reading, which was en
cored repeatedly. The Sooner Quarte
tte, which along with Josh T/oe. were
guests of the club for the occasion,
rendered a number and an encore.
