REAL HOME TALENT
IN GOOD COMEDY

For some time there has been agi
tation for a home talent play in Pull
man which should represent a com
bination of talent drawn from both
the town and the College faculty.
This demand bids fair TO be fulfilled
on February 8, when Winchell
Smiths winsome comedy of Ameri
can life, The Fortune Hunter" will
be produced by II local artists, rep
resentative of both town and gown.
The cast has been carefully chosen,
and though there may be a few
minor changes, it will be announced
in full next week. A better choice
of comedy could not have been
made. In THE Fortune Hunter.
MIR. Smith has portrayed the inside
of human nature, with its pathos
and It's humor, with refreshing &C
curacy. One laughs with, rather
than at, the "rubes' of Radville, and
gains a new faith in humanity after
an evening with "Old Sam Graham"
Those who love real humor will wait
with pleasure for The Fortune
Hunter"

EIGHT-DAY MISSION

In the Episcopal church, speoiai
seasons are fixed from time to time,

things, gives his sole attention for a
period, to preparation and speaking
on God and the needs of the soul.
Bishop Page OF this district has done
much of this work in the east, and
will come to Pullman Sunday, Feb
ruary %, and preach every day dur
ing the following week, and on Sun
day, March 4. Special services will
be arranged for children, and for
other groups. These services will be
open to the public and will be of great
value to everyone. keep the date in
mind-the last Sunday in February.

CITY JAIL MADE IMMACULATE

The lawbreaker who finds himself
locked in the city bastile under the
administration of Mayor J. w. Math-
eWs will bless the fates that prompt
ed the new executive to thoroughly
renovate the building. In the words
OF Mayor Mathews the jail was
"holed out from top to bottom.
Much of the old bedding was de-
stroyed and brand new covers pur-
chased to keep the city's charges
warm and comfortable. The rooms
were thoroughly fumigated and
everything made immaculate and
sanitary. The jailbird who serves a
sentence in Pullman's bastile here
after will probably regret the cul-
minaton Of his period"

ceipts is noted in the report of Post
master G. w. Reed for the calendar

spending increase, or even greater,
is indicated by the receipts for the
first Is days of this month, which
exceed those of the same Is days Of

tai money order business. indicating

"Robfnson Crusoe, Jr."

Snapshotting stage celebrities and
chorus iris is an old, old pastime.
Every college boy has his array OF
trophies. either caught on the fly" or
purchased from some accommodating
photographer, but the stage camera
fan with a penchant for swapping the
public, and more particularly interest
ing members OF the public, Is an inno-
walton.
A striking example OF this new fad
is furnished by the New York Winter
Garden Robinson Crusoe. Jr.'' COM
pany, which boasts flying squadron
OF camera girls and pack of and I'M
DERIVING the formation OF this squad Is
an interesting story of a society fad
that Is rampant in the Middle West.
II appears that the chorus girls pho
tographic activities are by way Of re-
taliation. OF In military parlance, re-
prisal.
Ever since the European war has Ill
rected society's attention aud activi
ties towards the creation OF relief
funds of all sorts the social elect have
developed a new and remarkable inter
est in the chorus girl. First she was
coaxed to all sorts of bazaars and
benefits to sell flowers and programs.
Then she evolved into the guest of
honor at chorus girl teas. luncheons
and parties given at the homes of the
more or less idle and more or less SEN
sation yearning rich. And at each
function maid and matron and cailow
youth thought 1t Just too cute to pho
tograph the guests.
Chicago proved the hotbed of these
activities last winter and on one even
ing four social leaders gave chorus
girl parties to the Robinson Crusoe
Jr" beauties and those of two rival
shows playing In the Windy city at
the same time. Out of spirit of sheer
self-protection the girls took up pho
Biography and began snapshottinE their
hostesses and the other guests. Even
and some of the members have aston
ishing collections of pictures OF those
whose names grace the society pages
Of the newspapers OF the Middle West.
Whsn the Crusoe girls arrive with
Al Jolson for their local engagement
AT the Academy of Music tomorrow and
Wednesday, with matinee on We'd
nesday. they are likely to miss their
favorite pastine of swapping social
bright lights unless they do so surrep-
ticiously, for society matrons In this
uaft Of the worli have not as yet taken
up the fad OF entertaining chorus
girl#, regardless of the example that
they have been set in that direction by
some husbands. brothers and sons
