Faculty Entertainment
To Be Great Stunt

A college faculty appearing in the
role Of enteFtainers-this is the un-
usual situation to be presented on
Friday, July 18th, at s p. M, in the
college auditorium.
The program will be varied one,
with more than forty characters par
ticipating. Persons who are FORUM
ate enough TO be present will enjoy a
solid two hours Of high-class enter
tainment. Promoters of the affair
are urging that all who object to
laughing, stay away.
The fun will begin with an adult
kindergarten, over which Miss Vowel
viii preside. More than score of
serious minded faculty members will
turn time back in its flight" and be-
come children again just for the
night, trying their hands at a kind of
school which most of them never had
the privilege of attending as real
children. The little boy" whose
mother has to bring him to school
and who cries at slight provocation,
will be there. The little girl who
sings and the brat who leases will be
enrolled. There will be other charac-
teristic parts-songs, hits" kinder
garten games. One of the interest
ing scenes is that in which little Rich
ard Ga superintendent of Western
Colorado) announces soberly: miss
Vowel, there is lady at the door"
Persons who are interested particu-
larry in dramatics-and that includes
a large number of the citizens of the
community-will find keen pleasure in
the two-act comedy, suppressed De-
sires." The same play was read on
the local lyceum course two Or three
years ago and delighted q large audi
ence. Prof. George, himself an auth
or, is directing the rehearsals. Miss
Nourse, Miss Green and Mr.. Geiser
are the characters.
The play is based upon pshchoana-
lysis, theme which finds serious dis
cussion in recent psychological litera-
ture. In this play home is almost
broken up through blind adherence
to mistaken Interpretation of the
theory of psychoanalysis. The Incl
dents are carefully worked out and
are often very amusing. The con-
versation is quite cleverly arranged.
One Of the interesting places is that
in which the man, an architect, whose
wife has taken up with pshchoanaly-
sis, and who is now distracted by her
continual chatter about it, holds up 4
drawing on which he has been work
ing and exclaims: GOOD grief, I've
got the roof in the cellar!"
A unique feature of the program
is the sketch written by local talent
to star faculty freshman, Els Queugh.
This freshman seeks a place as re-
porter for the student paper, "Top O.
the World" and to prove his fitness,
reads from some "pomes" and a
dairy" he has written. The sketch
is filled with local hits and funny in
cidents. The cast of the sketch is not
ready for release; however, it may be
said that Prof. Ferris will be manag-
ing editor, and the reader may guess
from the name of the freshman, the
one who is expected to take part.
Between the longer numbers Of
the entertainment, there will be three
short numbers of unusual merit. Mrs
Jennings will present four little child
rem in a beautiful pantomine and
dance entitled, "a Flower Masque"
Athletic Director Krause will thrill
ling exhibition given by himself. Miss
Paulison, the summer instructor in
i physical education for women, will
appear in a dance, "The Magic DOLL"
Music will be furnished by MIR.
Damson and the college orchestra.
| This fact assures success in that de-
partment of the program.
The management Of the entertain
] ment is urging that townspeople who
desire to attend the play, buy their
tickets early. A limited number Of
tickets will be placed on sale at
Fogg's store Tuesday.
