THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
RED CROSS VAUDEVILLE
GREAT SUCCESS
The event of the season was the
Vaudeville given at the Auditorium
on Tuesday evening by bevy of
the lovely young society matrons and
maids of the town assisted by the
band of the 319th Field Artillery, un
der the able direction of Mr. Tedes
co.
The auditorium was filled to it’s
utmost capacity with a most apprecia
tive and enthusiastic audience.
A great success financially as well
as socially managed by an able com
mittee, Mrs. A. V. Cortelyou, Chair
man. Proceeds to go to the Surgi
cal Dressings Class.
Home talent was exceptionally
good, and was roundly applauded, but
the soldiers were the lions of the oc
casion,
The numbers by the band were
very good, the vocal solos by Corpor
al Berry, and Mr. Renehart were
beautiful, as were the piano solos by
Mr. Anderson, and the H. 2. Co.
319th Quartette, and the Italian Sex
tette fairly brought down the house.
The démure and charming “Old
Fashioned Wives”’—the pretty and
fetching “knitting bags’, the panto
mines by our own Regina’’, and read
ings by Mrs. John Boston, the lovely
graceful dance by Miss Lucy Kent
Chappell, and delightful “Perriot and
Perrette’” by Mrs. Regina Rambo
Benson and Miss Lucy Cole; the
sweet songs of Miss Baldwin; and
imitatible recitations of Miss Allene
Fields;—all were fine and it would
be inpossible to say which was the
best!
The grand finale was a Tableaux
of “Our Allies”, the Nations being
represented by half a dozen of our
prettiest girls with Mrs. Benson as
“Peace” and Mrs. Fred Hopkins as
the regal “Columbia.”
However, the gem of the evening
was the impromptu speech of thanks
by Major Michel Screws, on behalf
of the soldiers. When he closed his
own most appropriate words with the
touching poems by Robert Service
“Young Fellow, My Lad,” there was
scarcely a dry eye in the house.

terrible and swift storm arises
and in spite of her warning crys
and pleas, he is dashed lifeless
at her feet. Grief-stricken, she

MARIETTA HAS REPRESEN
TATIVES ON ALL STATE
] PREP TEAM.
The sun has set on the 1918 Bas
ket Ball prep league season and Ma
rietta has the honor of having two
representatives on the All Prep State
Team. These two girls are Miss Mu
riel Williams at guard and Miss Au
drey Boatner at forward. The girls
showed up well and it was difficult
to select an All Prep Team from the
fine bunch of players that the Prep
League turned out, but there was
little trouble in arriving at the con
clusion that Miss Williams was by far
the best Guard in the whole league,
she is the guyard who prevented the
excellent forward Miss Graves, from
even attempting a field goal in the
last game of the Prep League season.
Miss Boatner scored 21 points for
her team this season, and the .other
All Prep Forward scored 27 for her
Team.
All the girls deserve the greatest
praise for the pep put forth and the
wonderful playing they pulled on the
various teams. They gave Fulton
High one of the hardest scraps ever
seen on a Prep League Court, and
the ultonites were scared stiff for
it seemed that Marietta was about
to pull the victory.
The Marietta girls have been called
the ‘“Battalion of Death,” the Wild
Cats from Marietta, and any other
number of names that would distin
guish them as a fierce bunch, In
most games they lived up to their
names, and in no instance did they
display any weakness. Their indi
vidual playing was great and the
Team work toward the close of the
season became like unto machinery.
The Varsity of 1918 will walk down
into the school history as one of the
greatest teams that ever played in
Prep League games, and the names
of the players will be on the lips of
the rising teams as heroines of real
life. :
Possibly the person who deserves
most credit for the development of
such a team is Coach A. Guthrie. He
surely turned out a team that did
credit to any coach.
UNITED STATES AWAKES
TO SPIES’ PRESENCE
et ———
For Three Years this Country Has
Been Honeycombed by German
Agents.
(N. Y. World, June 5, 1917.)
. The astonishing thing about the
newly discovered plots to smuggle
military information out of the Unit
ed States to Germany is that there
should be astonishment.
For three years the United States
has been homeycombed with German
spies and German agents, many of
of them of non-Germanic origin but
all of them working for German mon
ey. Nobody in his right mind could
have believed that this system col
lapsed with the entrance of the Un
ited States into the war or that the
energies of the German spy machine
would fail to respond to the new
needs of Berlin.
Great Britwain has not yet succeed
ed in ridding itself of the German
secret agents who were established
there at the beginning of the war,
and the United States can hope for‘
even less success owing to the long
operations of the German propagan-}
da. |
