A large attendance filled Lloyd hall, Kensington, last evening, when the five leading clubs of the town presented a vaudeville performance for the benefit of the IXensington Boys' club. Those taking part in- cluded the Kensington League of Women Voters, Bolton-Kasica post, American Legion, the Kensington Athletic club, the Ladles' Auxiliary and the Kensington Boys' club. Preceded by an overturs by Mc- Keon's orchestra which played throughout the performance, the Kensington League of Women Vot- ers opened the performance with The Magle Hopper,” a sketch which brought plenty of lpp]aux(\‘ The theme ©f this playlet concerned £ magic machine which turned the characters inte what they desired to be. One of the outstanding hits of this part of the program was the dancing of little Miss Deming who fiitted gracefully about the stage as & ballet dancer in the firat part and a3 a jazz baby iIn the second part of the sketch. Miss Deming's danc- ing brought plenty of expressions of appreciation from the audience ond she was forced to respond to several encores. Others taking part in the sketch were Miss Loretta McKeon, Mrs. Frances Delers and Mrs. Inez Willlams, Mrs. Marion Goodwin, Miss Anna Nelson, ftiny Virginia Goodwin, Mrs. Florence Tryon, Mrs. Vera DeWolfe, Phyllis Senning and Mrs. Mary Lardner. Mrs. Gladys Edgerly and Mrs. Edna 8. Damon accompanied the sketches on the plano. Following the oftering of the League of Women Voters, Laurence, the magician, took the stage and proceeded to mystify his audlence for the next half hour. Laurence, & suave young gentleman in faultless evening clothes, proceeded to draw silk flags out of nowhere, silver coins out of the curtains and tables on the stage, and pounds of rice out of empty boxes. Given a ribbon, firmly held by two youngsters, pick- ed from the audience, he cut the middle, burned the edges of the cut and healed the scvered ribbon as neatly as any seamstress with the aid of nothing more than his hands. He earned a good share of the ap- plause of the evening, this being his first appearance in this town. A shadow operation, given by the boys of the Kensington Boys' club, proved amusing. It was the case of a hastily eaten doughnut and the shadows took the audience all through the terrors of an operation which included about everything in the physician’s handbook. The Legion offeting, Footit and Porter from East Berlin, brought on the stage a couple of clever black face comedians. Rapid fire comedy lines proved popular with the audi- ence and they got plenty of laughs. The show closer, glven by the members of the Ladies’ auxiliary, was entitled “Those Husbands of Ours” and included Miss Katherine MdKeon, Mrs. Paul G. Baker, Mra. Adolph W.
