The Kenelworth Community Club is a new organization of neighbors on Kenelworth Avenue and adjacent streets in East Dilworth, and the club proposes to build a club house and have a little community of ideal neighborhood conditions. They had a minstrel show on an open-air platform on a lot in the neighborhood Friday night and everybody had a big time. Some of the performers in a classy blackface exhibition of near-minstrely were Bill Timmons, Mr. and Mrs. George Elliot, Mari Volk, Charles rea, Miss ElizabethTalley, Oscar Deal, Murt Cook, Mr. and Mrs. John Lineberger, and George Curry, assisted by Bill Cook and Tate Marks of the Park Road Community Club.
The club won 75 new members at the affair Friday night, and they will collaborate in erecting tennis courts, volley ball grounds, playgrounds and other features tending to make life in the community ideal. The entertainment given by the performers on the Friday night program was said to have been excellent and to have revealed some surprisingly skillful performers.
