PLAY PUT ON BY STUDENTS
Expects This Years
Production to Excel All Its
Previous Efforts in Dramatic
Line,

The T-oastmaster.H the rollicking
college comedy to be staged at the
Elks' theater tomorrow night by the
Dramatic club of the University Of
New Mexico, promises, from sale Of
tickets which began at Matson's yes
terday, to be a big financial success.
Judging from splendid work of the
principals it will be an artistic sue
cess. as well.
The pictures of the members Of the
cast in the different character parts
are on display in front d. Matson's
and are attracting much attention.
The final fun dress rehearsal will
be held tonight in the opera house.
and it is expected that when the cur
tain rises tomorrow night on the for
NAL presentation, there will be pres
ent n of the largest home talent
crowds seen in the Elks theater.
The varsity has had huge success
with their several previous dramatic
efforts, but The POSTMASTER" is ex-
pected to completely o%utshine all
former attempts. The play is pecul-
iarly adapted TO amateur production
as the plot abounds in wholesome
comedy, college life and action. All
three acts are college scenes and the
decorative effects promise to be a
genuine surprise, n more elaborate
in detail than generally attempted in
home talent affairs. There viii be
pennants and other insignia of the
college life used in great abundance,
and the Ftudents will no doubt be
able to enter with spirit into tho life
of the sparkling comedy.
While there will be many people

favorite and Verv much in love with
the pretty coed daughter of the pro-
fessor, who has an overwhelming de-
sire to fire Bill from the classes. both
account of poor work and fond
ness for the daughter.
There is a ten-Year-Old daughter of
the professor. called Buzzer. who will
prove the hit Of the evening. This
is taken by Hazel Cox. The
iustere professor and his deaf and

and add to the general hilarity. |,
