college HERO"
SPOOKS FUNNY
Witches, Inps and Sprites Join
in Dance With Pretty
Spectres.

A lot of double-j ointed jumping
jacks could not be more comical than
the strenuous spook dance in 1.-THE
College Hero" which is to be pro-
duced at the Shubert Theatre during
the week Of January 10 for the benefit
of the Babies Hospital.
Spooks would not be so spooky and
frightful were they all like these
pretty college Hero" spook girls and
gallant young spook men.
There are sixteen couples in the
spook dance, and their novel dance
will. without doubt, be one of the
hits of the production. AS the Sol
lege Hero" is a college production of
college life, one might wonder what
spooks have to do in a college play,
but this is easily explained. Pro-
fessor Won Kaiser, the German mas
ter of the college. goes to sleep and
Dreams and 1t is this dream that
carries the plot to its conclusion. He
dreams that the spooks, witches,
imps and sprites come to the college
and transform all the old alumni to
youth again.

| In the art of automobiling hun
dreds of Newark girls who are re-
hearsing for 1.-The College Hero" pro-
duction are experienced. Many of
the girls who are in the cast OF this
big charity benefit, which boasts of
| 700 Newark people, not only come in
their automobiles to rehearsals, but
drive the cars themselves. Newark
is fast becoming one of the greatest
| States, and the skilful manner in
which the girls drive to rehearsals
at the Washington ballroom and the
Trinity parish house, on Rector
street, unload their occupants and
take their machines around the cor
ner to place them in line until after
rehearsal, or speed away to bring
other participants would put many
an experienced chauffeur to shame.

Hero" who drive their cars to re-

ing. Anyone who does not wish to
stand in line can secure their seats
now at a slight advance in price,
which will make considerable extra
money for the charity.
1.-THE College Hero" has been given
in numerous other cities during the
past several years, with results that
haves been astonishing. Thousands OF
dollars are invariably secured for the
charity represented, and 1t is still be-
ing talked about in the cities In which
it has been produced. It's greatest
success was achieved in Boston,
Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington. The committee In
charge in Newark proposes to show
that Newark can do just as we'll as
other cities in staging musical ex-
travaganza on a stupendous scale.
