The officers of the company took a prominent
part in the outing, among the most enthusiastic
of them being Clarence A. Woodman, president
of the Get-Together Club.
In the picture it
appears that Mr. Woodman has a dual per-
sonality and can appear at both ends of a line-
up at one and the same time.
The picture
proves, however, that Mr. Woodman is a speedy
runner, and can beat the camera, as it were.

"Alone at Last" and "Her Soldier Boy" Both
Pleasing Out-of-Town Audiences
The "Alone at Last" road show made a tre-
mendous hit according to the Albany, N. Y.,
papers in its opening at that city, September 21,
It now promises to have as great a success on
tour as was the New York run. "Waltz En-
trancing," "Pretty Edelweiss," and "Nature Di-
vine" are numbers which continue to captivate
audiences.
The opening date for "Her Soldier Boy" has
been changed.
It opened in Stamford, Conn.,
on Thursday, September 28, leaving there for a
few days' run in New Haven, after which it
will go to Philadelphia for two weeks, open-
ing in New York the middle of October. The
music for both productions is published by the
Karczag Publishing Co.
