DELIGHTED THRONC CHEERS
1.-THE COLLEGE HERO" AT
ITS AUSPICIOUS PREMIERE
Mammoth Musical Comedy Production for Charity Is
Greeted By Capacity Audience Splendid Perform
ance Given By Clever Principals Finished Work of
Choruses and Various Groups Lends to Success

You would never suspect there were
SO many pretty GIRLS in this city un-
less you had been to see s"The College
Hero" last night. The Park Thea
tire was packed to- the doors with
friends and admirers of the cast and
every number was heartily applauded
From the smoothness of the perform
ance one, would never think it was a
first performance. Every number was
perfect. There were no waits and all
knew their parts. 1t was a distinct
triumph for the director, Wade Davis,
worked so hard at rehearsals. A num-
Der of bouquets were handed over the
footlights to the young Thespians.
Mrs. Robert D. Martin was a scream
as Elsie a country girl She dis
played ability as a real comedienne
and her antics kept the audience in an
uproar. Her solo in the second act
was loudly applanuded. Another big
hit was scored by Leo McEroy as
Biliken- He kept them all laughing.
Some of the young actors friends gave
the secret away by saying he had
studied at the shrine of Corse Payton,
the best actor Brooklyn ever had.
Miss Veronica. Dargan made q. pretty
picture as Madam Washington, pre-
ceptress of the college, and her enun-
tie a Bishop looked charming and
sang sweet1y as the queen of the
witches, inQs and sprttes. Little
Beatrice Stevens, as Inez F>isE1e, won
all. hearts by her dainty mannerisms.
One of the successes of the evening
was the hornpfpe danced by Miss Eva.
Downing. The Stars and Stripes were
flung to the breeze as she finished the
difficult dance and the audience arose
and cheered mad1y. A. Russell Gone
as Prof. Won Kaiser, furnished laugh
ter galore. He was made up like Joe
Weber and had a dialect that snacked
of the vaudeville stage. The audience
was with him from the start.

Don't go to sleep with the teeth
tightly closed or with the mouth open.
Either one of these habits will spoil
the shape of your mouth.
Don't lie on a high soft pillow; a
small, rather hard pillow is permits

Don't lie with your hand under. your
cheek, as this will wrinkle up your
