MUTT & JEFF IN COLLEGE. Mutt & Jeff in
| College, fifth in the series of cartoon comedies
| based on Bud Fishers nimitable characters,
which have been adapted to the musical comedy
stage by Gus Hid, has proven to be the most
/ successful since its initial performance five
years ago. Mutt & jeff in college offers an
/ entertainment distinctly different in every way
! from its four predecessors. Comedy is the
main essence, with music and girls diver
! sion. 1t is doubtful if many hearty laughs
have ever before been combined in one even
| ing's entertainment. Our heroes are treated to
| the pleasures and profits of an education, in
return for their services as foot ball players.
| There are astonishingy hilarious results. The
i show is better described riot of fun, which
begins with the rise of the curtain and contin-
ues necessarily for two and one half hours. 1t
is coming to the Colonial Theatre Friday of
this week.
