COLLEGE HERO IN !
EXCELLENT SHAPE
Nearly Entire Second Act to Be
Rehearsed at Trinity Parish
House Tonight.

Fl Fl and XII HI are two Japanese
lovers. No, not real japanese, but
students OF Sagehurst College, who
are disguised as Japanese and are
| giving a Japanese tea on the college
campus. This excuse naturally intro-
duces the bevy of pretty Japanese
girls and gallant young men in the
mammoth musical extravaganza of
college life, THE College Hero" :
There are thirty-four groups in
1.-THE College Hero" comprising 700
people, all of whom will be seen when
this stupendous production is staged
at the shubert Theatre during the
entire week of January 10 for the
benefit of the Babies Hospital.
Miss Florence Bucklin Scott and r.
G. Himmelberger sing the leading
roles of HI ri and XII Ki in this Jap
anese scene. Every one of the twelve
couples, without exception, has a
cultivated voice. They have been re-
cruited from the best church choir
singers in the city, and it is expected
that their chorus will be one of the
musical triumphs of the big. show.
The Japanese enter the stage during
a dark scene and when the colored
lights are thrown on from the balcony
nothing can be seen but row after
row of Japanese parasols. The audi
ence does not realize at first that a
demure Japanese maiden with her
lover is concealed back of each par
aSol. Suddenly the parasols disap-
pear and the Japanese tea party be-
gins. During this scene the entire
theatre will be perfumed with Japan
ense incense. which will make the
scene more Oriental.
Those in the japanese group are:
Helen v. Bament, Suzan Pell Bowen,
jeanne Carr, Bertha Ernst, Annette
e. Faatz Ellen I. Marshall, Emma
Witt Harris Scott. Florence Bucklin
Scott, Rosalinde Snedeler. Corne.ia

Shubert Theatre next Thursday

vance in price seats can be reserved

extra money thus made for the de-
serving charity
The management is still issuing
calls for makeup artists. Any who
will assist in this work will be re-
ceived with open arms, if they will
call at the headquarters in the Kin
ney building.
Every section of the city and it's
environs is represented in this big
production and the enthusiasm and
interest is extending in widening
circles. There are 700 performers in
the extravaganza, and practically
every prominent family in the city is
represented by some member.
The Babies Hospital, the charity to
be benefited by 1.-THE College Hero"
is SO close to the hearts of all New
arkers that sect and creed and social
CLIQUE have alike melted in the big
warm crucible of love and helpfulness
AND charity. Everybody wants to
help, from the patiently smiling
ipital committee, to the business men
who have cheerfully put their own
amusements and occupations aside to
yield absolute obedience to the call
for rehearsals that rings sternly out
from the hard working committee.
Practically the whole second act.
with the exception of the sorority
girls and frat men, will rehearse to-
night at the Trinity Parish House, on
Rector street, from to IL.
