seen here at the Star next week, is
described as one of the jolliest, elearlest

Washington, Baltimore and Boston's
critical ones also fell quickly in line.
The attraction appeals to all that is re-
fined There is never a jest that can
be misconstrued. The comedy is nat
ural. The music is catchy, the scenery
is magnificent. the costumes are
gorgeous and the cast, headed by Pat
White all that could be desired.
The original London Gaiety Girls
musical extravaganza company comes
to the Star next week. This show Is
said to be crackerjaek from start to
finish. Brim full of real comedy
musical masterpieces and mastery
medlsys. Superb special scenery and
elaborate costumes All that long ex-
Eerience, Inventive study, musical abili-
ty determination and money car ac-
.complish. has been brought to bear to
make this. organization reach the
zenith of success.

A Letter From "The Hub"
Dear Mr.. Editor
Hoping that a bit Of news from the
athens of America" would interest
your readers, / have penned these
few lines.
Briefly speaking of myself I may
say that am fairly holding my own
at the far famed Boston Conservatory
of Music, though I confess that my
studies often require# the strictest
sort Of application for complete. mas
tering. In this school one finds rep
resentat1ves Of every Kindred, race,
anG tongue, who taken altogether re-
feet credit on the school and on them
selves. Some of the more advanced
students are often called upon to tn
tor others in the lower grades. It
may interest you to know that I have
been called upcn to instruct less pre-
ficient students.
