COLLEGE HERO"
OPENS TONIGHT
Everything in Readiness for Ex-
travaganza in Which Seven
Hundred Appear.

The group that will greet the eyes
of the audience when the curtain first
rises tonight for the great college
Hero" production at Shubert's The
atre is the sophomore group, whose
dainty hats and costumes of the lat
est mode will surely set a new stand
ard of fashions in Newark.
Miss Caroline Brown, who is the
leader of this group, has been work
ing untiringly for the past five weeks
securing girls and men who could
sing as well as dance, and would
make desirable college sophomores.
How well she succeeded will be seen
tonight. 81
The sophomore girls are discovered
in the lobby of Sagehurst College.
They sing the opening chorus, Hail
to the College Girl" when the "soph'
| men run in and join their partners
| and the college dance begins.
One of the prettiest features of "Fhe
College Hero" extravaganza will be the
dancing of Miss Anita Breunig, of 81
South Eleventh street.
She is the premiere danseuse in the
Buster Brown" group. In beauty
gracefulness and rhythm of motion
there are few professional dancers
who can vie with this petite Normal
School girl of Newark.
Classical esthetic dancing is her es-
| pecial forte, and the bewitching charm
of her movements may well be ex-
pressed as "concreted music.
The college sophomores had their
| final rehearsal Saturday night from
| to on the Shubert stage, after
which they were pronounced perfect
and ready for the rise of the curtain
for the premiere. Those in the soph-
omore group are: Charlotte Ander-

The seven hundred performers were
given a much needed rest over Sun
day. The only rehearsal today Is that
of the large augmented orchestra, the
final trial of which is scheduled for
p. m.
AS stated before there will be
eight performances, commencing to-
night. There will be special matinees
Wednesday and Saturday.
The Babies Hospital is the bene-
ficiary The board of managers of
the Babies Hospital, composed en-
tirely of women, has charge of the
big. production.
The Newark women alone have as
sumed the task of staging this large
production, and has made veteran
theatrical men of Newark gasp. That
women alone should undertake this
responsibility even arranging such
details as the instructors, the scenery,
the costumes and the cast is the won-
derment of many experienced theat-
rical managers. 1t would, indeed, be
a task for body of experienced
showmen.
Just five weeks ago preliminary ar
engagements were commenced. The
started December 3, and the phe-
nomenal success of the rehearsals has
shown what Newark talent can do in
