Reveries, y light, enjoyable, musical
| theatrical, will be produced at the Uni
versity Auditorium next Thursday night
! in which Hon. Albert w. Gilchrist,
governor of the State Of Florida, will
appear in the leading role, "The Bache.

sumes a new character as the point
around which centers the interests of
this beautiful little play.
