THE College BOY PLEASEs
/. EXCELLENT audience

A good sized audience greeted
Ralph and Bernard Riggs and the
Riggs company I'm the laughanle con-
edy ''The College Boy" ut the Duncan
opera house last night. There was no
|one present who was not pleased with
the production, and II In safe to say
that there has been no attraction
here this winter which produced more
hearty laughs.
The plot hinged on the efforts of
Archibald Broderick. a man of 80, to
make himself appear to be q young
school boy Of II years. while his
wife played the part Of his mother.
The escapes the old boy had while
acting the part OF his wife's child
were laughable In the extreme.
Miss Katherine Witchy as Hazel
Graft, won the hearts OF the audience,
especially the masculine members.
She is an excellent dancer and singer
and took part In several speciaIties.
Ralph and Bernard Riggs also sang
and danced In speciaities and were
again and again. Ralph Riggs
Is well known In Las Vegas, where
he has many admirers, as he has ap-
peared here or ana on for the past
ten years. A few years ago he and
his brother attended school at Albu-
luerque for over eighteen months.
Tonight the company will present
