;ed driving it to Holt county and said
that it would be found at the home of

MISS DE MARIS STOUT, IN
UNIVERSITY PLAY, MAKES
BIG HIT IN OMAHA
Author Is Boyd County Boy.
Omaha News, May. 8: “The Yellow
Lantern,” musical extravaganza of the
Koamct Klub, University of Nebraska,
was one of the best received shows of
this season at the Brandeis theater.
The Sen Sen Girls chorus was en
cored four times Monday night. It will
be long before Omaha sees a peppier
number.
“The Yellow Lantern" has to do
about i' dark Jananese plot, with no
Japs, to steal an American-Chinese
treaty from an American copsul at
Namkin, China. Assistant counsul is
given an overdose of opium. He
awakes to find princess of his dreams
his nurse.
L. G. Hawley was assistant consul.
Orville Andrews as the blackface was
the individual hit of the show. Hart
Jenks of Omaha scored big as imper
sonator of dpium and as a hospital
assistant. Miss De Maris Stout, with
a soprano voice of remarkable volume,
was easily the vocal favorite. Dorothy
Sprague was princess of the drama
and nurse of awake-time.
Everything in the show was origi
nal. It was written by Cyril Coombs,
law ’23, who in a curtain talk intro
duced an assistant, presumably Mrs.
Coombs.
But that Sen Sen chorus. Yum!
Yum!
And “Jasper Calander Jones” An
drews. “Hot coffee!”
Quits a show.
