Four acts of vaudeville, brought from New York especially for the occasion, furnished the formal entertainment for the crowd. There were singers, dancers, divers instruments, a magician who played fearful and wonderful tricks with cards. Along one side of the auditorium was a long table, from which refreshments were served at the conclusion of the entertainment. Following this, the orchestra began to play and dancing began.

Alvin M. Smith was master of ceremonies. He introduced the different numbers on the program, acted as stage hand for the vaudeville artists and jollied up the crowd in the meantime. "We are glad you are here," said Mr. Smith. "Among the things we are proud of is the increased number of women who have registered over those who came last year. We want the men to bring their wives when they come up to this annual festival in Richmond."
