Saturday, February 21. 1881\n\"Sunrise Cabaret\" Was\nSeason's Outstanding\nSocial Event\nContinued from P8ge 1\nenjoy this novel part of the evening's entertainment quite as much\nas the ladies.\nA somewhat lengthy but hilarious\nskit was the next item on the programme. It produced roars of\nlaughter from beginning to end,\nand the participants displayed\nunusual talent, which has been\nrarely equalled in Anyox. The\nAlice Arm and Anyox Herald provided the background, and the\nleading lady, who was cleverly\nimpersonated by Stan. Mcintosh\nwas a member of the reporting\nstaff. Her endeavor to successfully\ninterview a new arrival in town\nprovided much merriment, and\nwhen she finally decided to marry\nhim it led to further laughter, provided chiefly by Ed. Blundell. who\nacted the part of the nigger parson. This skit was put ou by the\nMine Players, comprising Ed.\nBlundell, Stan. Mcintosh, Ray\nRoberts, George Dyer, and T.\nSanderson, all of the Mine.\nMr. C. P. Ashmore then followed\nwith a vocal solo, entitled: Some\nwhere a Voice is Calling.\" His\nsplendid baritone voice was heard\nto full advantage in this song, and\nin order to* still the applause he\nobliged with an encore. Mr. Ashmore also provided the solo background in the \"Kiss Waltz\" by the\nNew York Follies.\nFollowing another appearance of\nthe New York Follies, Mr. J. Tierney delighted everyone with an\nexpert exhibition of clog dancing,\nand bis nimble feet and perfeot\ntime to the music demanded an\nencore.\nFollowing a very appetising\nsupper, the floor was cleared for\ndancing and the dancers carried\nthe gaiety along until'2.15 a.m.\nToward the close of the evening,\nMr. C. O. Fricker thanked every\none for tlieir assistancs and especially Mrs. V. S. McRae for her\ngenerosity in conducting the training of the dancing girls of the New\nYork Follies. Mrs. McRae, in a\nshort speech, replied to Mr. Flicker's well directed praises.\nMembers of the two orchestras,\none of which was composed of Mrs.\nL. H. McKay, Miss Wilma Powell,\nE. Ross Oatman, T.
