forgetable characters such as
Uncle Ned,' Susanna, Jeanie and
Nellie Ely will walk out of the
pages of song albums straight in
to your hearts where these songs
already are. Who will ever for
get “Way Down Upon the Swanee
River” or “Old Folks at Home”?
There will be soloists from both
the high school and college and
the choruses will be composed of
The Dreamers. You must not
miss this fine array of musical
talent and acting ability which
will leave you humming -for days.
The cost? There is the surprise.
Did you ever wish that you could
pay just the tax and no more ?
Well, this time all you have to
pay is 3c and this will be within
the reach of everyone’s purse.
Bring your friends and come to
Anderson Auditorium Saturday
night, March 23 at 8 o’clock. Get

around one hundred years ago
and if you like, come in couples!

The footlights flashed on. Las
Cantadoras sang 'the Freshman
Theme song, “Mexicali Rose,” and
the Freshman Fiesta was' under
way.
As the curtains opened, Delia
Gomez stepped through a map of
South America dancing “La Cum-
parsa.” At the close of her act.
Las Cantadoras sang “South of
the Border.”
When the curtains opened again,
a lovely Senorita was on her Bal
cony, smiling down at two singing
troubadours. A bold bad robber
swaggered in, shouting and
thrusting angrily at a frightened
servant. He recognized his broth
er, Manuel, one of the trouba
dours. He swaggered about,
brandishing his pistols and sing
ing a bold robber ballad, but then
ran away, screaming, at the sight
of a mouse.
Las Tropicales sang some of
our favorite Spanish songs be
tween acts, “Brazil” and “Cachi-
ta.”
A dashing Senor and a lovely
Senorita danced the traditional
Latin-American dance, the grace
ful “Ocercate Mas” accompanied
by six .pretty Senoritas dancing
in the background.
Las ’Lropicales sang “’I’res Pala-

Senoritas.”
A handsome Senor, Ida Lou
Gibson, sang of his native Madrid,
dancing with a lovely Senorita,

forming the background dance
were Phoebe Measamer, Frances
