Sergt. Tom O'Kelly, the “Fighting Baritone” of the old 69th, was the hero last night and Elsie Janis the heroine of the big crowd in the Cen- tral Opera House at a minstrel show | by the 69th Minstrels for the benefit of thelr wounded comrades of the 165th (old 69th) Regiment. It was the same merry bunch of minstrels which made the American Expeditionary Forces laugh and shout through France and Germany after the armistice was signed. Thoy were too busy for Merry Andrew antics before the armistice was signed. It was part of the same devil-may-care bunch which learned to sing and Mdance together ufter a hard day's Mirill at Camp Mills. And it was pe ps the last time that that same joy- ous crowd will ever chirp and dance together, Send Private Corcoran Home The show was one worth while. | Ab! was it? It started with moving pictures showing the arrival of the ®65th on the Harrisburg and their ‘reception down the bay and coming into the pier, Then the pictures took one back to the Irish regiment on the Rhine and showed them marching from Remagen to Brest on their way back to God's own country. There they were, the old familiar life pic- tures of smiling “Wild Bill" Dono- van, who went out as a major and came back as the colonel with the D. 8. C.; Lieut. Col, Anderson, who left Camp Mills as captain, and there was Father Francis P. Duffy, the gallant, fearless, fighting chaplain of the old organization, HEROES ARE ACCLAIMED SPECTATORS.

Tom O'Kelly had done all kinds of stunts on the old sod, from holding three men on his chest and two in each hand to singing a love ballad. He had been over here from Limerick only eleven months when he heard) that there was a fight about to be pulled off. So he slipped into a unl form and became a private in the {old oth, And when they changed the 69th linto the 165th, Tom says, says he, “Well, wo'll give them a fight any-| how.” They used to say down at| Camp Mill# that the O'Kelly was the |laxiest man in the camp, as he was [the happiest and most smiling, and} could invent more excuses for eva of the -oBrough of the Bronx, under | ing drill than the boy who was always | jlate at school, But they would come from miles around (o hear him sing They called him the John M. i lof the s#th, notwithstanding and beautiful barito forsaken by her lover, she loses foil tary Band and behind the band a!
