"I'NI so HAPPY"

Alma Yodlin is one of the bright
comedy people who will appear at
the Oliver theater Monday evening
in support of Frederick V. Bowers,
star of I'm SO Happy" Miss Youlin
first attracted attention in musical
comedy circles when he began
playing in the Singer companies out
OF Chicago. Her work in these pro-
auctions was so distinctive that II
was no time before she had built up
a substantial following of admirers,
who always were sure to be in an
audience if Miss Youlin was one OF
the players.
This young woman is a great
beauty but her chief success on the
stage has been won by her beautiful
voice. In the present production she
fulfills the role of prima donna with
rare success, interpreting her role in
the finest possible way.

After a while the flare died out,

once more.
Riding on the front of the en-

lanterns and warning the crowd
to step back as the big machine

beings. The air Kissed as the
train ground to full stop. "Back

pointing toward the west.
The crowd didn't understand.
They thought the soldiers were
in the last coaches of the long
train. and with one accord they
pushed toward the rear of the
train. The band started to play
something - probably "Home.

made playing impossible. Officers

Soldiers Step From Train.
Two soldiers. with overseas caps
balanced jauntily on their heads
stepped off the train and shouldered
their way through the crowd. They
were the only survivors Of the gal

the cheers and handclasps Of their
home town folks as they had not
fed from German bullets.

ed someone who didn't know any
thing about IL. Mobilize. the crowd
turned and swarmed into the street,
utterly regardless of packages of eX-
press which were piled near the sta
ton. A bag OF sugar was split open
when someone stepped on it-but
who cared?
But the boys weren't out i'm the
street The bands were though, and
20 an impromptu parade was formed
and everybody marched downtown,
singing with the band. as torches
dared and motor cars saluted with
long drawn out walls OF klaxons.
Meanwhile the soldiers. who had
taken advantage Of the stop which
their train had made because of the
crowd. and had alighted near Scott
