46 BOHEMIANS ENJOY CHRISMAS JINKS "Quest of the Orange Blossom Cocktail" Furnishes Con vulsing Climax of Night First Yuletide Celebration Held j at New Quarters in Post Street —— It was* the ''Quest of the Orange Blossom Cocktail,"' executed in silent. stealthy pantomime, that furnished a convulsing climax to a night of weird and witching merriment nt the'Chrlst-" mas Jinks of the Bohemian club list evening.* True. Christmas had passed; | >ut the republic of blithe, breezy Bo- ' hernia has Its own calendar, as it | has its own world, and yesterday was the ordained day of yuletide merri ment, v- The celebration was given In the Club's new home in Post ■ street and marked* the first Christmas spent In the cloture. The handsome building was lighted brilliantly and the festival, was reflected into the night through a hundred windows. ... TRAIN ni;i,i, CAULS Promptly at 9 o'clock President Henry A. Melvin (in private life a judge of the supreme court) and Russell'" H. , Cool (author of the "Orange Cocktail" lantomlme), the presiding co-sires of I :he evening, took their dignified ways to the club auditorium, where hundreds of Bohemians awaited the feast of song and satire. The hall was Illuminated hj scores of globes and the stage and platform of the presiding sire deco rated with Chrlstmas'greens. , -'_'.'*",} Sire Melvln gently tugged at a train hell for order and started the evening fun hy reading the first paper. This was the "president's paper" and proved* hugely amusing. Papers were then read j by [libera embracing a variety '.of themes that only a true Bohemian would be capable of conceiving. Witti cisms, pointed puns, droll humor, were Indulged in until the very air seemed lurcharged with capricious wit. Ml Ml* AND PAXTOMIME Theodor Yogt led the orchestra. The first number .was a selection i from ! "Lohengrin." W. G. Glenn sang "Naza- ; reth" (Gounod); a poem was read by : George Sterling; Willard 1. Barton read a paper. A "Christmas Ode" In a tenor solo was given by Carl Anderson. He was accompanied by Louis Sehoenlger on the violin. The words were by Peter Robinson and the music by Vogt. Frederick S. Myrtle entertained with a poem from his own pen, a paper was read hy Livingston Jenks and then a tenor solo by T. Vail Hake well, who sang "Noel," -cleared the way to a production of Tvussell H. Cool's silent masterpiece, the pantomime sketch,' "The Quest of "the Orange Blossom Qocktall; Two-thirds Gin and One- Ihird- —r* X,. ;._ It was a thrilling bit of acting, "set- j ting forth an extraordinary tale of vir- | tue triumphant and vice frustrated." It was received with salvos of applause j nnd caused a solid hour of almost con tinuous laughter." The pantomime was admirably presented, the voiceless i thespians outdid themselves, and the | Bohemians were thoroughly happy. Those who took part In the sketch i werwJtDlck [totaling, Charles Leonard, Amedee Joullln, Russ* Cool, Allan Dunn, ' Courtney Ford, : Noble Eaton, Ned I Sreenway, Waldemar Young, Harry Perry.
