FIRST SANTA FE
PROGRAM JAN. 8
reading room brings mi s-
ical company here for
entertainment.
The Santa Fe Reading Room
will start its season of entertain-
ments in Canadian, Thursday
evening, January 8, at the City
Auditorium. John Iioss Reed and
Company in "a Musical Mal-
ange," is the title of the attrac-
tion.
In telling about the personnel
of the company, G. It. Miller, sup-
erintendent of Reading Rooms,
states:
"John Ross Reed/ international-
ly known baritone, Columbian re-
cording artist and popular actor,
heads a company of singers who
are not only splendid musical
artists but delightful entertain-
ers. With a cast of outstanding
singers, and costumes rich in the
splendor of many lands, scenes
from grand operas and original
musical sketches are presented
with amazing artistry."
Other members of the troupe
are: Dagny Jensen Reed, Danish
soprano-pianist and reader; Alice
Boughner, mezzo-soprano; Marie
Rassmussen, violin and Edwin
Beech, tenor.
John A. Gilmour, librarian of
the Heading Room in Canadian,
announces that the second enter-
tainment of the season will be
Saturday, January 24 by the Ma-
Belle Theatrical Company. She
is said to be one of the out-
standing dancers of famous New-
York shows and will prove a
treat to all who see: her program.
The ground floor of the City
Auditorium will be used for
Santa Fe entertainments. The
balcony will be closed unless
there is an overflow. A special
officer will be on hand to see
that order and quiet during the
program is maintained. . Chil-
dren under 15 years of age will
not be admitted' unless accomp-
anied by their parents or an
adult. Mr. Gilmour says this
ruling will be strictly enforced.
"I have found in past enter-
tainments that parents take their
children into the building then
allow them to congregate down
in front," Mr. Gilmour states.
"The crowd of youngsters get
noisy and it is difficult for the
cider folks to hear the program."
HERE'S OUR WISH
HAPPINESS TO YOU
IN THE NEW YEAR.
AMPUTATE ARM
TO SAVE LIFE
FURMAN WILLIAMS LOSES
ARM RESULT GUNSHOT
WOUND—IMPROVING.
Amputation of Furman Wil-
liams' left arm above the elbow
was found necessary last Wed-
nesday, as result of an infection
following a gunshot wound in his
wrist and hand. The operation,
which was performed at the Can-
adian Hospital, is reported to
have been successful and Wil-
liams is improving.
Williams, who is yardmaster
for the Santa Fe in Canadian,
was wounded Sunday, December
21, while out hunting 14 miles
east of this city. The gun was
accidently discharged into his
hand and wrist after it failed to
fire.
Although nearly 300 yards from
hit- car, when the accident hap-
pened, Williams hurried to the
automobile and drove to Canad-
ian unattended. He was taken
to the hospital upon arriving
here.
Dick Cowan is taking Williams'
place as yardmaster.

White means that business is
