Faculty Burlesque Is
Staged at College.

The faculty burlesque, uncensored
by the faculty and presented by the
| O. G. w. girls under the direction OF
Miss Frances Davis, in the college
auditorium Tuesday evening, was an
unprecedented success. The room
was packed, it being necessary to
provide additional seats, and the large
audience was most appreciative.
The entertainment opened with 8
clever prologue, a song, the words OF
which were written by Miss Davis
and the music composed by Miss Car
lson. The song consisted of six verses
in which the same number of young
ladies took off the characteristics OF
six of the teachers. Miss Ora Bizzell
made a hit as Miss Campbell, Miss
Cornelia Coryel with a dog in her
arms posed as Miss Johnson, Miss
Broadly as Miss O'Neill, Miss Ruth
Woodard as Miss Woodring, Miss Hell.
en- McCree as Miss Garrison and Miss
Mary Thompson as Miss Davis. Each
young lady took her part exceedingly
well to the delight of the audience and
the distress of the instructors who
saw themselves as others saw them.
The first act was an original con-
ception, and the rising curtain showed
Chickasha street railway car upon
the stage. The faculty impersona-
tors, seated quietly in the audience,
then took part in a mad scramble to
catch the car, creating much amuse-
ment. Miss Lois Gray as Mrs. Barr,
scored a hit in this act
The second act was a scene Ill Miss
O'Neill's class room with Miss O'Neill
conducting a class in history. The
first scene of the third act was in the
presidents office, and Mr. Austin,
alias Miss Claudia Fay White, was
debating some letters to the parents
of the students and to the board of af-
fairs. In his letter to the board he
asked for a new street car system,
guaranteed to run once in every thirty
days, and recommended that they em-
ploy a new soda jerker at the owl.
He also recommended that the board
supply four new clerks at the First
National bank, as the supply for So
cial purposes was short. The second
scene of this act was a faculty meet
ing and the sensation in this was the
announcement that Francis Davis was
writing a play called "Eyerywoman."
Some of the characters assigned in it
were, Ross Cox as Nobody" Albert
Hawn as "Modesty," and Joe Burney
as king Love"
A faculty recital furnished the fir Il
act and was full of laughable events.
Miss Estelle Tuggle as Miss Porter,
sang "Tipperary," and for an encore
gave, 81 Would Not Marry at All, at
ALL" Miss Campbell sang, "Can She
Make a Cherry Pie, Billy Boy, Billy
Boy?" encoring with, I'm Crying for
You" Miss Thompson, continuing
her impersonation of Miss Davis, then
read Tennyson's "The Brook"
