Carnival Section VOL, XXIV—No. 159 REAL N' ORLEANS MASKS, CONFETTI, HORNS WILL AID MERRY MAKING Wrapped in the romantic atmosphere of N'Orleans in a way that would require only a few darkies from 'way down in the sugar cane fields with a parlance all their own to make a Louisiana homesick, Anaheim will spread on the multi-colored coat of gayety Saturday night in the first mardi gras celebration in its history. Altho active merry-making will not begin until 7 o'clock when the Anaheim Elks band, which is putting on the celebration, will gather in front of the city hall and begin its renditions preparatory to the big parade which will start immediately there after, throngs of joy-seekers are expected to be about the streets all afternoon jingling their bells, tooting their horns, wearing their costumes and having a jolly good time in general. Booths will be open at which confetti and gew-gaws of all kinds may be purchased, A. E. Beard, who will be in active charge of the celebration, stated today. Cooperation will be tendered by the Anaheim C. of C. The assembling of the band in front of the city hall at 7 o'clock will mark the inception of the real honest-to-goodness celebration which the novelty of being "all dressed up—with SOMEWHERE to go." Anyway, why be backward! Put on your mask and no one will ever be the wiser regardless of how ridiculous you may look. The band exercises and the parade will consume about an hour at the end of which time everyone will gather at the Pressell hall for the grand masque ball which will begin about 8 o'clock. Ladies will be admitted free and gentlemen will be "soaked" only a dollar each. The ball is expected to be one of the biggest events of the season since it will be staged beneath pretty electrical effects and lights of many colors which will be switched and played about with novel effects, now turning the dancers into nymphs of red and then into graceful figures of blue, mauve and purple.

The assembling of the band in front of the city hall at 7 o'clock will mark the inception of the real honest-to-goodness celebration which comparatively will rank with anything any town in the country will have. Mr. Beard said. The melodious music of trombone, cornet, saxaphone, piccolo and fife with the more sonorous accompaniment of the big drum will be the clarion call that will summon the grotesquely costumed populace of Anaheim and all north Orange-co to the banners of mardi gras to march like phantom ghosts, with colors of every hue, to the grand ball. The line of march, it was stated, will be west on Center-st to Los Angeles-st, north two blocks and back, south two blocks and back, then to Pressell hall where the masquerade ball will be held. Everyone is urged to hunt up something grotesque and put it on, alice it is pointed out that everybody is going to laugh at everyone else, anyway, and everyone should feel grand masque ball which will begin about 8 o'clock. Ladies will be admitted free and gentlemen will be "soaked" only a dollar each. The ball is expected to be one of the biggest events of the season since it will be staged beneath pretty electrical effects and lights of many colors which will be switched and played about with novel effects, now turning the dancers into nymphs of red and then into graceful figures of blue, mauve and purple. Mr. Beard appealed for the purchase of as much confetti, masks, horns, feather-ticklers and other merry-making stuff as possible as it is this that the promoters of the celebrations have to depend upon to raise the funds for the summer concert season. The Los Angeles Costumers are in a position to furnish costumes to the Anahelmers who wish to "get ready" for the big affair. Their "ad" appears in this issue. "Inaamuch as the Elks band has gone to the trouble and expense of launching the mid-winter mardi gras to be pulled off Saturday night, it is hoped the public will buy their confetti, horns and the like from the Elks band who will have an ample supply for sale on the streets," Mr. Beard said today. "Let's all boost for our band which is endeavoring to make this a tremendous success." —The this B First Orange County Plain I LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, February 4, 1921 RLEANS MARDI GRA : LITTLE CARNIVAL PREAM AN AUSTRALIAN PASTORAL (By Bert Myre) A simple maid from the city, Engaged to a young farmer bold, Went down to pay him a visit On the farm, I've been told. She saw him place a door-knob Right under a trusting hen, And when she realized what he'd done, These words she said, right then: "I'm only a girl from the city— My age, just seventeen— But let me tell you, mister, That's the cruelest thing I've seen! Take back your engagement ring, You wickedest of men! For what chance has a chicken With a man who can fool a hen?" Roses may come and roses may go, But Berger's hair is gone forever. "Now tell me just what do you mean?" Said wifey to Haskell M. Green When he watched Mrs. Barr Step into her car, And remarked: "What a nice limousine." —HENRY ADAMS. A. E. Beard will hand you this at the height of the formalities Saturday night: "Awake, awake, the dawn is here; the air is full of atmosphere; on your Hawaiian boola tree, a ukelele smiles at men. Far down the vale a flock of geese, lifts up its face to greet the breeze, what song is that? My heart be still. 'Tis the voice of a little liver pill. O can it be, or is it not? It is, it is, And so as in the days of yore, we find that two and two are four." A. B. McCord—Did you hear John Bunny has joined Barnum and Bailey? George Hamler—Why, you poor fish, John Bunny is dead. McCord—So is Barnum and Bailey. SOLD HIS CAR At the speedway last year a charge of $1 was made for parking. Harry D.
