pheum will certainly have fine offer
ing for the theater-going people of Pa

and his merry company in the musical
comedy SIN Egyptia.'
This is 81 a seat show for 10 and 20

The story deals with Washington

Sistant, John O'Breen, who land in the
beautiful land of Egyptia, where no man
was ever seen before.
The natives mistake the Groplane for
giant bird and think the strange crea-
lures are gOdS-the long looked for gods
OF peace and war.
Some one starts the engine of the
porplane and when the men discover
they are stranded decide to keep the
bluff up and so pose as the gods through
the show.
Washington falls in love with the
queen and induces her TO go back to
Iankeeland with him, and John also
falls in love, and after the Rroplane is
found again safe and sound they all
make ready TO fly away home.
Nine musical numbers are introduced,
and besides several changes of costumes
by the principals, the chorus make five
changes.
1t is 40 minutes of bright, clean and

and nobby costumes, tuneful songs and
dances, and does just what is intended
to do-pleaSe the eye and ear and amuse
you.

University. He handed in his final ex-
animation papers and signed his name
thereto as it reads in this notice. After
all the papers had been passed on the
president sent for him. When he came
into the presence of that distinguished
educator, the president said: young
man this school is founded to teach
young men law and not for the purpose
of permitting them to practice jokes on
the faculty. You have made good
examination and passed, but we cannot
give you diploma, because you are
taking yourself too seriously and antici-
pating judicial honors. Sir, we do not
permit young men TO arrogate 10 them
selves judicial titles until they earn
them. Because you have signed your
name to the examination papers Judge,
we refuse to graduate you" Explana-
tons followed. Mr.. Walton assured the
president his parents had chrstened him

had signed his name Judge V. Walton.

The Star might have added that this
popular young Palatka attorney is headed
