dience.
Living Models
The living models were next intro
troduced by Won Hindenburg, and
Howard De Jarrelli, the famous ex-
hibitor and connoisseur, attired in
full dress, high silk hat, and immac-
.ulately trimmed goatee and mus
tache, discoursed upon styles, COM
binations, and prices of suits and fur
pishings, as the gorgeously attired
models sauntered onto the stage in
the glare of the brilliant footiights.
Evening costumes, school costumes,
lard street costumes, were introduced
four times during the program un-
der the eminent direction of the fam
Gus connoisseur, Howard De Jarrelli.
Zeppelin Is Crippled
With the introduction of Mallalieu-
ham -Haroldini-H -Haynzinii, Won Hin
denburg retired to confer with Kai-
ser De Wilhelm, when a crack on the
sta ge, followed by ripple of laughter
ir the audience, told that the anti
aircraft had been successful in Grip
.pling one of Linscheid's Zeppelins.
.Linscheid, better known as Won Hin
denburg, was on the point of rushing
on the stage, it is rumOred. in the
midst of Haynes number, but was de-
tanned in the stage room by Kaiser
De Wilhelm. Won Hindenburg, it is
understood, however, had the rumOr
seized Immediately and executed as a
spy. The gun that did the work was
Haynes vocal solo, basso profundo,
entitled, "Who In the Sam-Hill
Cares?"
Grand Finale
Every numbe was a delight. and as
the gorgeously attired models dis
ported in the footlight displays, Clar-
ence Allen, the crack pen artist at the
S,Ormal. sat in the audience making
first hand sketches of the various
performers, and within an hour and
a half had hung in the corridor India
ilIh sketches of the morning upmbers.
The sketches were put on display in
the Bee Hive, where they may be
seen. Matthews and FARRELL took the
house with their Jews harp and
French harmonica selections, render
ing the difficult classic selection, en-
titled, Turkey In The Straw" which
they subsequently rendered by play
ing backwards. Matthews did not
have buttons on his coat tail like
FARRELL, as was observed while play
ing the number backwards. The quar-
tet number, 1.-TWO Flies" was so re-
alistic that everybody thought they
were on the back of Mr.. Haynes
hand, instead of Matthews. Miss Alb
bott's reading, "I aint Coin To Cry
No More" and her piano selection
"Friskobole HypeIbole," were both
cCened heartily.
Prof. Linscheid lastly introduced
Prof. Roi Taeluir and his disting-
uished patron, Miss Willie Vivian
Luck, otherwise known to the musi-
! cal world by a pseudonym reaching
fl ON Madrid to Nova Scotia, who
charmed the audience with a piano
and violin selection. 1t was during
this number, as Tailuir drew out the
! soul-fetching MELODIES, that the giant
turtle, Macrochelys Lacertina 1917
rose from off his plastron on all four'
and tho a century old, began a hest

trooping the whole personnel of the
performers in one grand finale, will
the mascot in the center, all joining
in a soul-stirring chorus, led by Tay
lOr, who waved an American baseball
bat for a baton with the complacenc'
of a Mozart. 1t was over. The Jun
iors had held the house spell-bounC
