 College Hero"

When Wade Davis, a producer of amateur theatricals, announced last spring that he was going to present ''The College Hero,'' a musical extrav- aganzaL that required the services of several hundred local amateurs, Bridgeport folks interested in stage events wished him well-but they shook their heads duhiously. Such stupendous undertaking had never been dreamed of here and skepttcs after the first rehearsal the smiling MT. Davis brought the greatest or der out of the seeming chaos and for four nights presented The College Hero at the Park theatre with never the sembIance of a hitch. Crowded houses which witnessed the presenta-. ton gasped-and the Visiting Nurses Association, for whose benefit the pro- auction was given, was made several thousands of dollars richer.
 With such a. success to it's credit. 1t is small wonder. then, that Bridgeport folks are expectantly awaiting the presentation of ''Everywhere,t' for the same benefit, this month. Every where" is a great musical spectacle and historical pageant that has been even more successful than '~The Col- Iege Hero It will be staged here by the Visiting Nurses Association, under the direction of J. Mills Davis, brother of Wade Davis, and a man with the inimitabIe Davis smile that .sput over" the previous effort
 'sEverywhere'' will be presented at the Park theatre October .27, 2s and 29. Already rehearsals are well under way and things are assuming definite shape under the able direction of MT. Davis and his trained assistants. The production will require the services of several hundred characters and will be even bigger than '"The College Hero in the magnitude and beauty of scenic and electric effects.
 The production, as the prospectus says, is "a musical spectacle and his- torica1 pageant dealing with Ameri- can history from the date of Column
 bus landing, in 1492 to 1913. In it's presentation a score of groups or chor-
 uses. characteristic of the period each
 represents, are introduced.
 The opening scene is at the court of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella l in Spain, in 1492. Here are introduc-, 1 ed such groups as the Spanish Danc-
 CTS. the CastilIian Girls, the Enter tainers of the Court and the Italian
 group. the latter the aides of Colun7
 bus in his quest for finances for his exploration expedition.
 Then the scene shifts to America and the landing of Columbus. The In- dian group and the Ghost group are be selected from the most adept danc- CTS in all the choruses, as the terpsf- chorean movements are of the most intricate, yet graceful. conception. Following along the settlement of the colonies, there will be presented the Quakers, the Shepherds and Shep- -herdesses, down to the Revolutionary days. The Beaux and Belles. of TITS will offer something novel and beauti- ful in modern conception of the Revolutionary period.
 The acquisition of the Louisiana tract and it's settlement are typihed by the Cowboys and Cowgirls who introduce wild and woolly'' atmosphere in their roIlicking songs and dances. The advent of Orientals to our western coast Is portrayed by the Chinese groups and a memory of the stirring days of the Rebellion is recalled by the Beaux and Bellies of '65. The sol- our two great fighting arms of to- day.
 The climax is reached in the final iSnetropoIis. Here are the guests, cafe attendants sand thee cafe entertainers. In this final scene is the cafe of to- day with all it's modernism including the cabaretting walters and the tango ing guests.
 As may be seen, there are infinite possibilities in the velopment of a wonderfully beautiful dance idea throu hout the spectacle. From the whirling, swirling dances of the Span ish girls down to the ultra-modern -'trot' they all pass in review, and MT. Davis indeed has made the most of the possibilities offered. A prize
