PAGE FOUR. First Dance and Enter- tainment Given In 1891. BY ALFRED J. MOKLER With Casper’s numerous theaters, lodges, clubs, radio parties, private anf public dances, and dozens of other ources of amusement, the people of the city have no difficulty in finding a place to be entertained for several hours every night in the week if they do not care to re- main at their own fireside. But @o these kind of entertainments sat- isfy the people, and {sn’t there some thing more in life than being enter- tained? Those who have lived here for thirty years or more look back with some regrets at. the changes that have been made. They were town builders then 2 they ‘“‘builded better than they knew,” but, their time was not wholly occupied with the laudable work of laying out butlaing up the foundations fora city and making it possible for others to come here and gain wealth and live in luxury. The ploneers had their good times and thelr fun occasion: even though there were no the- and I dare say more satisfied with life in this typical frontier town slow, “Jack the Ripper;" Parks, “Gypsy;” C.

Two violins and a plano, moved up from one of the saloons, furnished the music. the wonderful success of this party, and before the club disorganized many other exhibitions, dances and entertainments were given and thor- oughly enjoyed. The town hall was the first pub- Me brick building to be erected in the town. It was built in the sum- mer of 1900 and it cost $1,985. Its location was on the west side of Cen- ter street between Second and First and occupied the ground where the Blakey store and the Evans jewelry store are now located. Emanuel rben did the carpenter work and Wm. T. Evans, did the brick work on this building. Both these gentle- ment are yet residents here. In 1895 a stage, foot lights and a drop curtain were added to the in- terior improvements of the building and the Casper Dramatic company under the auspices of the Casper band, gave a series of plays, to which everybody In the town bought a tick et.

The first moving picture show to ‘perform than | be established in Casper was in this most of the people are now, with] building, and it was called the Bell “some place to go" every night.

There was but one room in this new public building and ft was twenty-five feet wide and seventy- four feet long, and it was commo- dious enough to accommodate all the people of the town for a dance or theater or for any public gathering. The first party given by the newly organized athletic club was on Wash- ington’s birthday In 1891. The first part of the program consisted of an exhibition drill on the horizontal pyramids and tableaux by mem; of the club. Then followed a masquerade dance and it was 3 o'clock in the morning before the participants ‘wended their homeward way.” ‘The following is a partial list of those in attendance and the characters they represented: Miss Clementine Evans, “Union Girl Mary Evans, “Topsy,” Fannie Eads, “Night.” Bessie Jameson Mary y, “Sailor Giri,” Body Lulu Johnson, Queen;” Minnie Johnson “Card Girl” Laura Stroud . “Newspaper Girl,” Alma Ortman, “Hunter Girl,” Bea- trice Evans. “Primrose: Mrs. H.

In the sur- mer of 1912 the old building was reconstructed and remodeled into a building used for a fire house, where the fire fighting apparatus was stored on the ground floor. with living rooms up stairs for the firemen and a room in the rear on the ground floor where the town coun- cil held {ts sessions and the town officers had their headquarters. In 1917 the mayor and town coun ef traded off this building and the land consisting of 60x140 feet and the “old town hall” was wrecked and the bullding located thereon at the present time was constructed. Many of the old-timers will recall the spirited county Republican con- ventions that were held in this old building when the delegates of the opposing factions would meet and make a fight to the last ditch for their principles and their candi- dates, oftentimes the success of one faction depending upon the vote of a snigle delegate out of the forty or Garden Week Observance Is Planned National Garden week will be celebrated throughout the United States from April 21 to 27 inclu- sive and the First Presbyterian church of Casper has arranged a program for that week to arouse interest in the cause for which it has been set aside. The program will end with a sermon Sunday morning March 27, and an illus- trated lecture in the evening. “The City Beautiful” is to be the subject of the sermon bringing out the value of beauty, peace and contentment, The evening lec- ture wil deal with “The Handi- work of God in Nature,” pointing to the effects of the cultivation of flowers and plants, It is probable that a flower show will be sponsored later to demonstrate the results of culti- vating flowers and plants ayitable to the soll and climate of this sec- ton, National Garden week has been endorsed by President Coolidge, the governors of the different states and many civic and commer- cial organizations.
