"A SCREAM"

Paradise Valley: Aug. 4th - The entire musical program at Paradise Inn last night was almost wrecked by an obtrusive mouse. The guests were seated with their chairs in a closed circle about the outer lobby. In the center of that part of the main floor exposed to a mezzanine view stood the singer. All else was quiet until a tiny brown form was discovered scuttering about on the open floor, completely surrounded by the circle of seated guests. A mouse. Alas, many a shine was recovered at the expense of the upholstery.

Every time the mouse attempted to take cover under the surrounding furniture it was frightened by shrill feminine exclamations and hasty movements. Finally the tiny ad perfectly inocent intruder - closely pursued by a galloping bell boy - took refuge under the piano. After a few minutes the entertainer (who was forced to withdraw from the floor during the commotion) came back and continued the program with a new number. The whole incident might be described as a "scream."
