MRS. FLORA A. GUSTASON.
Mrs. Flora A. Gustason, who
for the past four years has been
demonstrating in many of Oma
has's principal stores the proper
way to make and serve coffee so
as to get the best results, has
joined the Olson Coffee Com
pany, the roasters and blenders of
Happy Hollow Coffee.
Mrs. Gustason, who is known
to thousands of Omahans as
"The Woman in White," and
ranks as one of the foremost cof
fee demonstrators in the west,
feels that in Happy Hollow Cof
fee she has a brand of coffee
that only needs to be tried to be
come a prime favorite. So many
people miss the real flavor of
coffee by not knowing the proper
way of preparing it, and yet it is
a very simple process. Mrs. Gus
tason invites anyone attending
her demonstrations to ask for
any information they require
about coffee, or to phone her at
Douglas 1909.

"The School Mistress"
To Be Produced by
University of Omaha
F'inal tryouts in the University of
Omaha Dramatic club play, "The
School Mistress," were held last
Friday evening. Miss Dorothy
Gray and Cylde Bennett were
chosen as "leads" and Margaret
Powell and Jack Bcacom as co
stars. The play is one of Arthur W.
Pinero's best legitimate stage suc
cesses and is" probably one of the
hardest productions ever attempted
by the University Dramatic club.
Dr; W. Gilbert James, dean of the
College of Arts and Science, is du
recting the play and had charge of
picking the cast.
Last year the University Dramatic
club gave one of Mr. Pinero's other
productions, the "Amazons," the
production being held in the univer
sity gym. Two performances had
to be given owing to the small
space and large crowds, so it has
not as yet been decided whether
this season's play will be given in
the gym or in the Brandeis theater.
Other members of the cast in the
"School Mistress" are: Wayne
Rcevei, Izma Tucker, Elizabeth
Taylor, Dorothy Caiman, Loren
Thomson, Harold Bough, Paul
Prcsslcy and Leona Johnston.
Brisbane, Australia, has 3.1S0

Military Avenue Residents

At Irvington Tuesday the Irving
