JAZZ BAND SHOW
Wins Big CROWD
<sBEST EVER" PRAISE OF PACKED
HOUSE ARRAY
OF TALENT

Ac UcoC uuucI 81 duudLo SHOW ever
put on at the university" was the apt
praise given "The Fall Follies of
1921" as put on by the University
Jazz band before a packed house in
the auditorium Friday night The
production was directed by Arthur S..
Guerin of Spokane, an undergraduate
in the college of law.
From the first orchestra number to
the final in "Yes My Dear" the show
was complete success. "Yes My
Dear" with it's clever acting, clean
comedy, and most attractive chorus
was the feature of the evening
Crowd Shouts "More"
There was nothing amateurish
about the entire production. The acts
went off quickly with no waits be-
tween numbers and each number
would have donecredit to the best of
vaudeville circuits. The fact that
"the show went across big" was
shown by the cheering crowd. At the
close of the last chorus in b My
Dear" the entire crowd stood and
literally "hollered" for more until the
members of the cast had sung and
danced through "Ain't We Got Fun"
three times.
Eyes My Dear" the one-act comedy
and musical revue, rewritten and di-
rected by Mr.. Guerin with it's ALL
star cast and best of chorus girls, was
the best staged and most elaborate
production of it's kind ever put on
here The story of Elsie and Freddy,
Tiny and Theopulus, Lucille and ALI
-Oyisium was ably put across
Miss Porter Charming
Miss Mollie Porter of Idaho Falls
Icio q Io no
wonder Freddy, the hotel clerk, re-
gretted taking chances with Lucille,
the movie" vamp, in alternating his
affections even temporarily Prob
ably the most effective and beautiful
bit of the show was the duet Whip
pOOrwill," sung by Miss Porter and
Mr.. Guerin, who took the part of
Freddy, while the chorus danced in
the background
Harry Brown of Moscow as "Finy"
or Mrs. Crosby was scream. From
his first appearance on the stage
every move and every line was greet
ed with roar of laughter. His work
was wonderfully effective. "Ahme"
Kerne was equally good as Theopulus
Crosby. He breezed his way through
the comedy. "Syb" Kleffner as Aloyi-
sius, the bell hop, in a brilliant, red
anu green, LiSuL-llItluS U6ll uO3 oult1
was a knockout .
Boliou Is Some Vamp
Lucille, the movie" vamp, who
caused all the trouble, was played by
Cecil Boliou and he made his difficult
part into one of the outstanding fea- {
lures of the production. With his
clear tenor voice and his clever act {
ing he won a name for himself in
university productions
Mr.. Guerin in addition to directing
and practically writing the musical J
camedy took the part of Freddy. With Y
his fine baitone voice and his dra-
matte capabilities he was an ad-
mirable Freddy. But to pick out a
star in the show would be an i'm I
possibility. They were all stars. t
Chorus A Winner ]
The chorus won the crowd Clever
dancers all, with good voices, and in t
the most attractive of costumes, col s
1ective1y they were the feature Of the
production. Too much credit cannot

Emily Wade, Jackie Pringle, Hestor f
Mckenzie, and Grace Jacobson t
The scene of the story was on the '
veranda of Palm Beach hotel, as S
sisted by the chorus extended a cor s
dial invitation to come to "Bimini G
Bay" Mrs. Crosby has hard time
with Theopulus on account Of Lucille, Q
and Lucille comes close to breaking up t
Freddy's and Elsie's little play v
house" But -A1oyisius comes to the n
rescue, makes love to Elsie and Mrs. 3
Crosby, and everything ends happily tt
