Gossler's Campus

At Gossler's Campus Restaurant,
l04th Street and Columbus Avenue,
one is forced to the conclusion that
Mr.. Evan Baldwin's new "Chuckles"
is appropriately named. More than
a revue, it would be we'll styled a
musical comedy production, with
equal emphasis upon the music,
the comedy and the production.
If enthusiastic guests have signifi-
canoe, one had only to overhear
their comment as they passed out
to decide that they had enjoyed a
most unusual entertainment.
Vivacious Marguerite Fenton was
there, as charming in voice and spir-
tied as ever, and the Broadway Jones
jazz Trio, whose tickling tunes just
will not let your feet behave. Fem
ner and Tolman, the society dancers,
likewise attracted widespread at
tention with their very original and
unique performance.
All In all, each individual feature
of the programme at Gossler's Cam
pus is headliner of such unusual
quality that it is receiving its full
share of generous appreciation.

invisible thing which spells success
and fortune for every community
blessed with it, has been brought
forth in several fields and, it is said
by men in the 'znow" that where
there is so much gas there is bound
to be oil nearby. If their surmise
be correct, then Louisiana ought be
the greatest oil state in the union
within a short time. We have the
gas and it has been found in wide
ly separated localities and if oil
follows gas, then our future oil
fields should cover an immense ter
ritory.
Some wiseacres firmly believe that
oil can be found almost anywhere in
the state. They might be letting
their enthusiasm overcome their
better judgment, but no one can
truthfully say that they are wrong
for indication point to the correct
ness of their much-heralded theory.
Any way, the curiously interested
