''The College Hero" is a typical col
lece musical extravaganza, a satire on
college life in song. A good plot goes
through the entire action of the piece,
which holds the many musical numbers
together.
It is the intention Of the committee in
charge not only to make THE College
Hero a great financial success, but
also 10 show what Washington talent
can really do when thoroughly trained.
Several Of the most competent instructors
have been brought here to stage the play,
and it looks as though THE College
Hero" would set new standard for
local musical achievements.
