The "roarin five hundred" arrived
from Wabash College at Crawfords-

Crimson ribbons flew from manly
chests. The slide trombone rent the

boys yelled until they didn't have
much yell left for the game. Every

The demonstration centered at the
Claypool Hotel, where yell leaders and
band leaders stood on the mezzanine

be seen an occasi ional daring individ-

noise, but they were just as deter

their way-during the morning.
The demonstration continued In the
hotel and in the streets around the
hotel, until there walked into the lobby
another band, the Indianapolis Police
and Fireman's Band, headed by John
Philip Sousa. The Wabash gang gave
way to the march king, and the police
band played Sousa marches punctuat-

With coal smeared face, a mascu-

den. Miss Dean has achieved n char

Not a single pretty gown, not even

There is a thrill element IN the
story. but It Is carefully subdued and

The Flame OF LIFE is not a dainty
story: 1t is decidedly realistic. but its
beauty is said to be matchless from

is played by Eilenetta Van Sickle,
whi.e tho chief is taken by Brian
Dougherty. The blen6iDg of the
mezzo soprano voice of Mrs. Van
Sickle with the tenor OF Mr.. Dough-
erty results in a beautiful combina-
tons OF song melody such as is heard
in probably no other portion OF tho
production. The chorus of gypsies
with tho group OF five or six mem-
bers OF the tribe acting as troubadors
add a great deal to tho force of the
act.
The single act which gained great.
er APPLAUSE than any other last night
was "Pandora's Box" rendered by
Miss Mary Jane Spencer. This is a
delightful dance that is hard to equal
for the perfection of Its execution.
Pandora has been instructed with the
care OF a bow with the warning that
evil will befall her il she opens it.
She disobeys the warning and falls
a prey OF vanity. This change OF atti-
tude is interpreted in the dance by
the quickene6, step and more naughty
micn of this dancer after she takes
from the box its choice contents.
Pau Sauter as u beau brummel
who loves the girls gives a rather
stately song IN which the chorus
come in for their share of the ap-
plause. Mir. Sauter surpasses himself
in this act however when In the
bewitnhing scene "A Night in Japan"
Mrs. c. H. Relmerth pays opposite
him in this. Beautiful lights, beau
tiful costumes. beautiful voices, and
beautiful sentiment are combined in
the performance.

is the name of the act in which p.
r. Hooper and his ang OF village
cut-ups get big hands. Mr.. Hooper
is cast as "Arthemus Jayson Catch

to be a movie actor. The cut-ups in
the case are a group OF boys who
afford one of the funniest episodes In
the show.

A cabaret scene on a roof garden
constitutes the last act and calls for

'BUTTERNuT' BREAD NOW

The Wyoming Baking comp,rv
placed on the market In Casper this
morning h well known brand OF
"Butternut" bread. This is a bread
that is made according to a patented
formula which is held by the schultze
Baking company of Chicago. 1t has
been on the market for 25 years and
has outsold any other brand OF bread
IN Chicago and the surrounding ter.
ritory. The exceptional quality of the
name and Of the bread combined are
considered responsible for it's i'm.
mense popularity.
Butternut bread is sold throughout
the larger cities of the United States.
This is the first time that n Casper
baking company has sought to obtain
it.
The bread is different from other
bread in that 1t is standardized. The
wyoming Baking company is not
only required to use the exact for
mula for the making of the bread on
which they place this brand but they
are also required to send samples of
their product to the Schultze Baking
company of Chicago for testing. This
is a previous precaution gone through
with until the central company is
satisfied that h bread is up to
