ball, on Navy day, today
The Navy day ball at the roof"
is presented with the cooperation
of the United States navy and will
be featured by the personal appear
ance of Rear Admiral T. T. Cra-
ven, commandant of the Great
Lakes naval training camp, guest Of
honor, who will be accompanied
by his staff. Rear Admiral Craven
will also make short talk during
the evening.
1t will be an opportunity for re-
tired and discharged seamen to re-
new their ties with the navy and
to meet the officers and seanen who
are at present in the navy.
A signal honor was conferred on
the ballroom to be selected for the
Navy day ball, as Navy day is the
navy's "open house" to the Ameri-
can public On Navy day the public
is invited to inspect the navys
ships and equipment, afoat and
ashore. In lieu of this in Indian
apolis, where it is impossible, the
Navy day ball was planned to take
its place.
The Indiana ballroom "roof" will
take on truly nautical air and
will be decorated in the spirit of
the occasion.

Follies is "a verifunny Show" to
quote one Chicago Writer. The for

the erotic beauty of their produc-

In every department of produc-

For instance, the Shuberts called
on J. G. Huffman to do the staging,
and upon the seasoned Harold At

Ray Perkins and Maurie Rubens,
whose compositions have figured in
several Broadway hits, fulfilled the
music assignments.
