any CINDERELLA GIRL"

William Norris farce with music,
"My Cinderella Girl" which will come
to the Illinois Friday, Sept. 80. is a
play that has many unusual features.
In the first place it has a compact
plot, and one that bristles with odd
and amusing situations. 1t is in three
acts, or innings" as they are called
and each inning is one long laugh.
Added to a good plot with fine farcical
complications are dozen good must
cal numbers. and a chorus Of prize
beauties. The farce was written by
Richard Walton Tully, author Of ''The
Rose Of the Rancho" and the story
has to do with the trials and tribula-
lions, the fun and the frolic life In
small college. One of the scenes is
laid in Mrs. Pinney's boarding house,
a typical institution where the stu
dents play all sorts of FRANKS on the
boarding house mistress. Another
scene shows the training table of the
members of the Siwash baseball nine,
and the final scene Is laid in the dress
ing rooms of the athletic club house,
with view OF the baseball diamond
in the distance. One Of the startling
features of the piece Is ball game
played on the stage with great real
ism. Added to the funny farce, which
is a show in itself, are a dozen good
song numbers from the pen OF Will
liam Frederick, the composer of the
score of THE Mayor Of Toxic" A
prize beauty chorus, trained by Gus
Sohlke is another excellent feature of
the attraction. The company Is COM
posed of metropolitan players, who are
we'll known and who are expert |
farceurs. The production rs hand
