The Colonial-Tribune Mickey Mouse Club No. 111, Held its regular weekly meeting at the Colonial Theatre last Saturday afternoon, July 2, at 1:30 o'clock.
The Mickey Mouse fable, "Oswald the Rabbit" was the opening lecture of the afternoon, followed by the two reel Kiddie Review entitled "Happy Feet."
The meeting was then called to order by Grand Mickey Mouse McClain, who then ordered the master of ceremonies, Jacque Decoux, to take charge of the meeting.
Master of Ceremonies, Jacque Decoux, ordered the sergeants at arms to escort Chief Mickey Mouse to his station on the platform. Chief Minnie Mouse was then taken to her station on the platform. All other officers took their places on the stage.
All new candidates were asked to stand and repeat the club creed, following which they were accepted as full fledged members of the Mickey Mouse Club.
Picture show passes were then presented to each member having a birthday during the past week. Those receiving passes were Lois Fay Bannon, Huss Shearer, Ruby Wofford, Mary Jo Walker, Rose Marie Bennett, George Dan Shimer. The Mickey Mice then joined the cheer leader in a strong yell for them.
Master of ceremonies then ordered the color bearer, escorted by the sergeants-at-arms to bring forth the flag to the stage. The members and officers stood then and repeated the oath of allegiance to the flag after which they sang one verse of "America." The colors were then removed from the stage.
No contests were held during the meeting, but promises for a number of contests next week were made. There will be a "Ping Pong" contest in which anyone may enter--so boys and girls, start practicing on that Ping Pong right away and win that prize! Volunteers will be asked to enter the "Jews Harp" contest. This should prove quite interesting--for there are a great many Mickey Mice who are talented in performing on these two instruments. So let's get busy--and be at the next Mickey Mouse meeting full of pep--and ready for most anything.
All new candidates for election please turn in your names to one of the executive officers of the Mickey Mouse Club sometime during this week. The next election will be held on Saturday afternoon, July 16, so start your electioneering right away. The names of all officers who are nominated will be announced next Saturday at the regular meeting.
Next week the feature picture is entitled "Cheyenne Cyclone" starring the boy actor, Frankie Darro, so do not miss it.
The wonder of the movies, "Rin Tin Tin," will be starred in the serial, "Lightning Warrior," which will be introduced by request from a number of children in the club. The first showing will be July 30 at the regular meeting of the Mickey Mouse Club.
The meeting last week closed with the singing of the club song followed by the feature, Tim McCoy in "Texas Cyclone."

Next week the contest will consist of a peanut race--so practice up--and enter the contest.
The Mickey Mice joined in a yell of appreciation for the old officers who are retiring and for Grand Mickey Mouse McClain who is away for a short vacation.
All members are requested to begin thinking of a yell which will be suitable for the club yell. A prize will be awarded to the yell which is accepted into the club by the judges. Get your parents to help you in thinking up a good yell.

The Colonial-Tribune Mickey Mouse Club No. 111, was opened last Saturday afternoon, July 30, with the first episode of that exciting new serial starring Rin Tin Tin, the wonder dog, in "The Lighting Warrior." The club members thoroughly enjoyed the picture, and could not restrain from cheering at each new exciting adventure. The picture ended at the most critical moment, as might be expected leaving the children, unable to suppress the disappointment that showed on their faces, though anxious enough to attend the next meeting and see the startling outcome of these adventures.
Jacque DeCoux, the master of ceremonies, took charge of the meeting and ordered the sergeants at arms to escort the Chief Mickey and Chief Minnie to their stations on the platform. The other officers then took their places on the stage.
The new candidates for membership were: Jackie Lee Crawford, Nelda Marie Buster, Ida Lois Coston, Winnie Frances, Ruth Ledbetter and Lucille Sansing. These young people were then asked to stand and repeat the club creed. They were accepted in the club as full-fledged members.
The group having birthdays during the past week, and receiving birthday passes to the show, were: Nina Merle Byars, Maxine Fay Sansing and Virginia Moore. A rousing good cheer was given for these Mickey Mice led by the cheer leader, Van Shaw Taylor.
The master of ceremonies then ordered the sergeants at arms to escort the color bearer in bringing the flag to the platform. The members and officers stood and gave the oath of allegiance, then sang one verse of the song, "America." The colors were removed from the stage, and everyone resumed their seats.
The officers retired from the stage and the excitement was taken charge of by Rev. A. L. Haley. He made an exceptionally beautiful drawing while singing the words to a song befitting the picture. The Mickey Mice were delighted with the program, which proved to be a surprise. We hope to have Reverend Haley with us again in the near future.
The Mickey Mouse Club song was shown on the screen and every member of the club joined in singing it. Following this, the feature of the afternoon was shown starring Tim McCoy in "The Fighting Marshal."
Be sure to come on time tomorrow for the next meeting. At one-thirty sharp. Don't forget.

The Colonial-Tribune Mickey Mouse Club No. 111, opened last Saturday afternoon at one-thirty with a big attendance--and a number of new members! The meeting began with the showing of the Mickey Mouse Fable, and was followed by the comedy starring Mickey (Himself) McGuire in "Mickey's Golden Rule."
The master of ceremonies, Jacque Decoux, took charge of the meeting by ordering the sergeants at arms to escort the Chief Mickey and Chief Minnie Mouse to their stations on the platform. The other officers were then taken to their places on the stage.
The new candidates for membership stood, raised their right hand, and repeated the club creed. They were then accepted as full-fledged members of the Mickey Mouse Club. The new members were: Bobby Barrett, Georgianna Barnett, Ricardo Clement, Fred Carleton and Betty Mae Kirkland.
Birthday passes were then presented to the following members: Virginia Mosley, Billie Jean Clement, Albert Reed Nugent, Jeannette Arendale, Kenneth Vanness, Mary Elizabeth Rice, Nelson Rice, Don Bickham and Joe Butter.
The master of ceremonies then ordered the color bearer, escorted by the sergeants at arms to carry the flag to the platform while the state song, "The Eyes of Texas" was being played by "The Southerners." The members then stood and repeated the oath of allegiance to the flag, after which they sang one verse of "America." The colors were removed from the stage and everyone resumed his seat.
The officers retired from the platform and Mr. Walter Buck, brother of the famous Frank Buck who produced "Bring 'Em Back Alive," spoke for a short while to the club. He gave the life history of Frank Buck in a brief manner--and related some of the exciting instances in life of this great man.
Following this the children were entertained by Buford Gamble and Hub Adams, two comedians who proved to be unusually comical. The Mickey Mice enjoyed the jokes and songs which were given by these two men, but the entertainment ended all too quickly.
For these two interesting programs the members, led by the cheer leader gave the yell:
"Handy-Dandy! Sweet as candy! Happy kids are we! Eenie-Ickey! Minnie-Mickey! M-O-U-S-E!"
Music was then offered by the orchestra for a short while--following which another yell was given:
Who do we appreciate? The orchestra! The orchestra! The orchestra!"
The third episode of that exciting serial starring Rin Tin Tin in "The Lightning Warrior" was shown under the title, "Empty Saddles." Following this, was shown "Tangled Fortunes," starring Buzz Barton.
Each Mickey Mouse and each Minnie Mouse was given a balloon after the meeting advertising the Frank Buck production, "Bring 'Em Back Alive."
In several weeks the new election of officers will be held--so if any members wish to be candidates please call Mrs. Long before the next meeting so that your name will be printed on the ballots.

The Mickey Mouse Club No. 152 was called to order by the master of ceremonies at 1:45 and the newly elected officers for the next six weeks were installed.
August has been a banner week for birthdays having 55 during the month. September started off with 16 the first week. Miss Lucille Allen Benedict, manager of the Mickey Mouse Club in Hollywood, wrote them a letter complimenting the club on their program and giving special attention to the contest given on the best statement of "Why I Joined the Mickey Mouse Club." In response to our request for information regarding a new club song, she sent us a song composed by the manager of the club in San Antonio. This song will be used by the club in the irregular? activities.
Sometime ago a prize was offered for the best yell handed in by a member of the club. Mary Elizabeth Harrison handed in the following yell: "Hip! Hip! Hurrah! Mickey Mouse Club is today! The Boys and Girls have come for fun Hip! Hip! Hurrah!"
She received a Mickey Mouse Club box of assorted pencils. We believe that this is the beginning of some very spirited yells that the members will write that can be used in the meetings.
A very competent judge of music who was present at the meeting complimented the club on its chorus singing of one verse of America and its Mickey Mouse song and the courtesy shown by the members throughout the meeting.
Two very appropriate cartoons were shown. One was the Ugly Duckling by Walt Disney, the originator of the Mickey Mouse Club and the other was made of Mother Goose songs. These were particularly interesting as they had been presented the previous week in the musical program presented by Miss McConnell assisted by Mrs. James Bervich.
The musical program was concluded by a dance by a member of the club, Mary James Sisk. The dance was entitled "The Cowboy's Dance."

Five passes to the Franklin Theater will be given to each of the best made kites and that includes neatness, perfectly made and the paper tightly put on and to the kite that flies the steadiest.

This will be great fun for the boys and very little expense so see that your son has a kite in splendid shape and ready to fly it Saturday morning. The prizes are certainly worth the little time to make your kite and every boy is always ready to fly his when the wind is high and so come on over and join the crowd. It's kite flying time.

An excellent showing of talent was displayed at the entertaining program as presented by members of the local Mickey Mouse Club of the Colonial Theatre given at the Saturday matinee. A clever impersonation of movie stars was given by the following, Ann Cobb as Mae West, Bobby and Billy Curtis as members of Our Gang Comedy, Joan Horn as Greta Garbo, Eugene Brown as Richard Dix and Bert LeTulle as Popeye, the Sailor. Plans are being made to have such programs each Saturday after which the young artists will be presented at the Franklin Theater.
A delightful addition to the program was the skit with the impersonation of "Groucho Marx" as splendidly enacted by Rinehart Mansfield. Victor LeTulle assisted.
