Tonight Is Opening Night for
 Big Amateur Show

 Frolic of 1927 took place yesterday at ? o'clock. To the privileged few who had the pleasure of watching Charles Gaa guide the ensemble through the many features of song and dance. it seemed that the acme of perfection had been reached. The excellence of the performance was unquestioned. It was necessary for Director Gaa to request that the ap- plause be eliminated as 1t was pro- longing the time beyond the regular schedule.
