The talent for the musicale has been
drawn from public and private schools
and every institution of learning in

volunteered their services in order tol
make the event a success, and some of
the best known artists in the city have
been obtained to carry out the lead
ing roles

will require much time and many re-
hearsals, but the board of managers
of the hospital have entered into the
project with an enthusiasm and ear
nestness and enthusiasm that have
been contagious and augurs we'll for
the outcome.
Graduates Dance Featured
One of the most artistic numbers in
the musicale is the graduates dance"
in which twenty-one couples partici-
pate. This is but one of the thirty
groups and choruses to take part in
the production.
The plot of the musicale is typical of
college life, and the last advice given
to the graduates by the preceptress of
the college is the part to be sung by
Mrs. Bertha w. Vaughn. Before re-
ceiving their diplomas the graduates
break the college rules by running
away to attend a football game. They
plead for mercy on their return, which
of course is finally granted, and the
musicale ends with a spirit of fun and
happiness.
Great care has been taken in the Sc
lection of costumes, which are expect
ed to be elaborate and enhance the set
ting of the musicale. The graduate
girls will be gowned in white lingerie
dresses over PINK ana Dlu0 anu Will
wear picture hats. The men will wear
dark blue college suits with yellow
hats and gloves to match.
