such a production could be staged.
The work Of the company is sur
prisingly good as a whole, and the
more so when the short time it has
been working together is taken into
consideration. The company has
been rehcarsing littlc more than two
weeks.
There has been a natural tendency
to compare THE College Pennant'
with THE Elk's Tooth" presented
here a year ago under Mr. Browns
direction one or two familiar faces
in THE Elk's Tooth" were missed last
night but it is generally conceded that
The College Pennant" is the strong
er piece. lis music is good The
choruses have plenty of swing and
melody and the chorus Mr.. Brown has
gathered together here is particu-
larly strong one. After the first act
it got down to its work splendidN,
and the support it gave the principals
was excellent
Ernst f. LandOlfi and J. Porter
Jones, the itiuerant Germans out i'm

hard hit with the audience. Both
We're in good make up and their team
work throughout was good.
Another team quite good enough
for professional work, is Timothy

in the good song, Back to Iowa.
completely won the audience.
L. G. Bennett, as the unfortunate
college student around whose trou-
bles the plot is formed, was in his
best form last night and carried his
part excelIcnuY.
Marcus p Kelly, the captain Of the
Columbia; D. X. b. Sellers, as d
pleasure hunting capitalist: A. D. era
ham, as a Pinkerton detective; Joe
r. Scott as the dangerous ruler Of
rOtous Spanish island and Kirk
Bryan, b. Frank Fillmore, Raymond
Stamm, Henry DrOppIemam Harry
Hoffman and Master Richard David,
newsbOy, all having less important
speaking parts, did their work with a
snap and cleverness that gave finish
TO every act. The second act is prob
ably the strongest of the four i'm its
musical features In this act Miss
Dorothea Mccartney appears in her
extremely clever song, "Fhe story
the Teddy Bear Told' Miss McCart-
ney has a sweet clear voice and a
manner. She gave to the pretty little
song just the right touch, and was
forced to respond to encore after en-
core, each one richly deserved,
In this act also comes The Lonely
Moon" a very lovely little ballad,
sung by Mrs Charles A. Frank. Mrs
Frank has a very beautiful voice, per /
