she called herself Vdseline-was right good.

From other sources it is reported that the
Barnard freshmen pulled UP the show
record for the college a dozen notches.
The audience, all except Joe, was strictly
feminine-mostly the women of the college
and old grads.
The Hippodrome songs were rewritten
to colleg words and some of the characters
we're modified. The King of "A Yankee
