An event OF particular interest to the
lovers of high-class music who attend
the performances OF the big musical
comedy, THE College, Hero" at the
Columbia Theater this week will be
the singing of My Castle Of Dreams .
by Miss Mary Sherier, the well-known
soprano. The words of this song were
written by Mr.. Donald NJ McLeran. and
the music was arranged by Mr.. James
A. White, jr., both Washington men.
and their combined efforts have pro-
duced a number which shows of the
magnificent qualities OF Miss Sherier's
voice to the best advantage. Another
song for which Mr.. McLeran wrote the
words and Mr.. White the music Is MY
Great Elixir OF Youth" a topical song
containing many clever knocks at
prominent men. which will be sung by
Mr.. George A. Bentley in his character
of Prof. Phil. No local production
would be complete without a topical
song by this clever comedian, and he
will undoubtedly make a big hit with
this one. The above songs are the only
interpolated numbers which will be
sung in The College Hero" so the fact
that Mr.. Wade Davis. the author and
producer Of the piece, has allowed them
to be used is quite a compliment to the
work of Messrs. McLeran and White.
The regular sale of seats for THE
College Hero opens this morning at $40
al the Columbia. Mrs. Frank Moss and
Mrs. William Cleveland Perkins have
charge of the patronesses committee.
The ladies in charge Of this committee
have had liberal responses to the many
invitations which were sent out from
their headquarters I'm the Westory Build
ing, and II looks as though there was
every reason TO believe the production
to be given on February 6, Z. 8 8. and 10.
with an extra matinee on Saturday, will
be a huge success.
Three of the young girls who are TAX
ing leading parts, and who generally
make a big hit at the daily rehearsals
by the manner in which they enact their
roles, are the Misses Nancy Gordon
Jones, Anita Parker, and Miss Ana Full
ton. This trio has been seen to advan-
tage in many past performances. Newly
discovered stars who are In the cast are

and Miss Ethel Foster, who sings the
