THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who attends college. He went down
| to Kansas City last New Years with a
/ frat pal of his and the two of them
| had a wonderful time, such wonder
| full time in, fact that they had to hustle
| around real briskIy several hours aft
| erward to keep their names out of the
papers. They decided that as long as
| they were in Kansas City and it was
New Years, the best way to celebrate
| was to have something to drink. They
had it. Then they had something
more. using a follow up system which
would do credit to any business man.
Pretty soon they were picking flowers
off the tablecloth and trying to kiss
each other. Someway or other that
evening they wandered in to a bur-
lesque theater. The house was full
and the only seats they could secure
were in the front row balcony. One
OF the acts Id1Ied TO come out as QUICK
ly as the happy Topeka pair thought
it should and, while the orchestra was
softly playing a popular air, one of
the men pulled the other up in a
wobbIy, dizzy fashion and whispered,
Come on, les help out lii girl with
'er act And they began singing the
song. The crowd seeming some fun
began to clap and the spotlight was
| turned on the two. They sang fully
twenty-five minutes to the holiday
I 7&av-f fy1fYa
voices, tho they were somewhat soggy
The manager came up and invited
them down on the stage, but as the
Topeka boy said the other day. II was
drunk and my pal was drunk and we
didn't mind singing to some two thou
sand or more people up there in the
balcony, but We had just sense enough
left to stay off the stage" The next
day both Kansas City papers carried
| stories about the two strangers who
sang at the theater, and today the col
lege men couldn't be hired to sing to
ten people where New Years they
sang to over two thousand who thor
oily enjoyed the. program
