"Buster Brown"
Buster aad Tige were there, and
nearly everybody else was too. The
North was crowded And again it
was demonstrated that Columbus is
the best theatre town is Nebraska
outside of Lincoln and Omaha when
the production is right. Brown can
not bo described in words any more
than the colored cartoons in the Suu
dav papers can be described. Little
Biibter, about the size of the aver
age nine year old, played the part per
fectly. His original pranks with his
dg Tige kept the house in a coutiuu
onn roar of iaugmer. But Buster and
Tige were not the whole thing.
Pretty girls in pretty costumes with
sweet voices did clever stunts in danc
ing and drills and the whole enter
tainment was a rapid variation of ri
diculous and amusing situations. It
has been some time since Columbus
people have enjoyed so good a laugh.
"How old is Buster"? was tbe
question on every tongue after the
play and the most of the answers said
"twenty eight and a man".

The Florodora property was brought

University Glee Club.
The entertainment given by the
University Glee and Mandolin club
at the North last Saturday night at
tracted a fair sized audience and
would hare packed the house had it
been better advertised. But what tbe
audience lacked in numbers it made
up in qualit. For that reason tbe
unanimous npproval which the Uni
versity boya met in this critical mu
sical city is a h:gh ttibnte to their
entertainment.
The musical numbers were well
balanced and tbe minstrel end of tbe
program was spicy, bright, original
and would have done credit to pro
fessionals. Every numbar on the program was
roundlv encored including the solos of
Mr. H." C Johnson. Mr. Bud Gilles
pie and Mr Frank Hudson. Indeed
it wmld be difficult to suggest any
improvement. The audience was not
entertained, it was delighted And
wtiPii Cudouia sang "Nobody" he ran
out of verses with which to respond
and finally seized a baton and had the
whole audience joining in the chorus.
People forgot that they were at a
play hone , forgo" that they were dig
nified people of affairs and were car
ried uvviiv with the mirth of the hour.
The club consists of abont forty
member, selected from the cream of
the uusici' talent apsembled attbeUni
versit from several etiites and it is just
starting west on a tour to the Pacific
cotst which has for its purpose the ad
vertising of the educational, industrial
uud commercial interests of Nebraska.
While its fir?t misitn isto advertise the
University, it will distribute free litera
ture :it every st p, containing beautiful
.uts aud carefully prepared write-ups
of the btatu's hading institutions and
n our.-es
I'lie clu'is' itinerary includes Chey

California, especially tbe cities contain
iut: educational institutions.
From San Frunrisco they go by boat
to Si-at'le and return east over the
Northern Pacific. They will travel in
thir own private car throughout the
trip and will be entertained by college
oraniz itions at most of their.stops.
No colleges except Princeton, Yale
and Hurv:ird are said ever to have at
tempted similar trips, and none has ever
before attempted so extensive a trip in
the west.
The uniqueness of the trip and the ad
vertising in it for tho University and for
Nebraska is causing it to attract general J
attention.
