The Colonial Theater Beautiful, Chi
|caso.-Despite the unqualified success
that has greeted Little Memo In New
York for months and now sojourning
for brief time in Boston, this beau
|tiful and amusing comedy is to be
brought into the middle west to fill
engagement time planned even before
the premier. and it viii come to Chi
|cago's beautiful theater, the Colonial,
|early in March. The success of Little
Memo" is certain and sincere. and
There is no question in the declaration
THAT it is the most elaborate and best
musical comedy ever staged In the
field of big effects the names of Klaw
& Erlanger stand prominent, and
Little Memo" is the biggest thing the
firm has ever attempted. When it
comes west the production will pre-
lserve its original form and personnel
and special train of Pullman and
baggage cars will be scheduled to
make a record run across the country
to bring the people and equipment into
Chicago. There is a notable cast and
a chorus contingent that actually mum
bers $50, comedy and graceful people
lwho form a number of the most pict
luresque and pleasing stage picture:
ever attempted. The scenic and cleo
trical effects have been pronounced
the most marvellous and realistic ye
known in the ingenious art of stage
1 craft, and altogether the Chicago en-
lgagement will be one of the most i'm
lportant In recent years.

TAKE CUPS TO SCHOOL.


The Abilene school board has not
yet decided what will be lone in
the way of watering the school chill
dren In a manner that will comply
with the new order made by Sec
rotary Crumbine of the state board
of health and in compliance with the
law passed at the last session Of the
Legislature. Something will have to
be done before school opens, for the
law goes into effect September LIST,
and after that date there must be no
promIscous drinking cups in the
schools. The board has been dis
cussing this proposition but has
made no definite decision yet.
In Topeka the school board In
stalled sanitary drinking fountains
in all the school buildings Of that
city and the Capital says that they
involved an expense Of about $500.
These fountains were placed on each
floor of every school building in the
city, and we're selected rather than
purchasing individual cups for each
pupil. The lola school board select
ed the plan of having each pupil fur-
nish his or her own drinking cup
as being the cheapest plan. The jet
fountain plan was investigated by
the lola board, but this was found
to cost the board $500 to put the
Jet fountains in all the school build
ings and this plan was abandoned
and the Individual cup plan selected
This may be the plan that will be
selected by the Abilene board the
parents being required to furnish
each of their children with drink
ing cup. Whether they Will go
around with this cup strapped around
their waists or slung over the shoul-
der, is not knoYn. They may be re-
ouired to keep their cups in their
desks or possibly there will be a row
Of nails around the wall where each
pupil will hang his cup and have his
name printed on 1t. The school bulid-
inRs also have to be fumigated be-
fore school begins, and It Is possible
that the next legislature win require
that each child be fumIgated before
he goes to school each morning II
this health legislation goes much
