(Adapted from Edwin o. Grover)
We believe in Boys and Girls,
the men and women of great to-
morrow; that whatsoever the boy
soweth the man shall reap. We be-
lieve in the curse of ignorance, in
the efficacy of schools, in the dig

We believe in beauty in the

Quite quickly and with rapid dis

there. 1t was, to say the least. a bril-

decorations were both tasty and at
tractive. and the supper. the finale of
the evening. was a sumptuous event.
Many guests, including the wives Of
the officers and friends, were there.
and the array of beauty was not q
small feature of the evening. The
ladies of the Hostess House turned
out en- masse, and it was a hard task
to distinguish between chaperon and
any other delightful guest. Maj. Gen.

nights, starting Monday, February 3,

pany, list, has charge Of the show.
and previous to entering, the service
had spent twelve years in the the
atrical profession. He was formerly
employed by George NJ. Cohan Of the
well known firm of managers, Cohan
q Harris. and wrote to Mr.. Cohan
asking for permission to use one OF
Mr.. Cohan's famous comedies. Not
only did Mr.. Cohan send along the
script at once,s but volunteered &lso
all possible assistance. This is prob
ably the first time an actual Broad
entire cast of doughboys.
THE Belle of the BARRIERS Ball" is
the title of the farce comedy, and
Mr. Cohan, composer of "Over There"
and many other song hits. has three
corking song hits in the above mem
toned piece. A chorus of dusky
bellies will be portrayed by the khaki
lads.
In conjunction with the above after
piece, Private Hines has written a
burlesque entitled Friday Night"
The title suggests many things. and
one can look forward to satire as
well as grea. comedy situations dur
ing the action of this burlesque. The
few who have heard Private Hines

Forged by musics' refrain.

Or crowns yet to be eur lot to gain1
To weave Q mystic tapestry Of music, born
Of verduFe,
whose edor casts q scent that music, bern
