Something like the nvasic, the Social wheel goes round and round, xvid tMKr again it's time for the Annual Frcihrnan Dance. The time has. been defi.nitely «¦• for Friday, January 31. Thi> is a most oppor¬ tune date beC2u>e the next day is a Holiday, llie dance will be held in the Hotel Statler Ballroom, a fact ¦sure to appeal to everyone.
-A. Cleveland band. George Weber and His Greater Orchestra, will supply their Lombardo-like sxxes and Casa Ixsnia style brass for the aflair. lliis ought to be a big hit with the "big-nante" addicts,
Lait year wi> the first time any Frrshnun class attempted to run a big daiKe. It proved a huge succt^. and no doubt the comnijttee thi> year will live up to the efforts of their only pre¬ decessor and give the school a marvel- oi:s dajKc in the best ballroom, at a popular price and with choice synco¬ pal ioji.
Fhe conmiittees which have been wlected for the Frosh Dance are as follows:
General Chairman    Bert Fitzgibbons
Publicity Chairman Ed. Fg'^leston
.Music Chairnun James Batt
Roor Chairman       Robert Schwartz Tickets Chairman   Robert Ho^an
Commerce Ciub Banquet
Because the last iitfoniial banquet of the Commerce Club held in l>ecember proved such an outstanding success, it was dccidevl to hold another ot the sanve nature at Carl Meyers* Restaurant, opposite the Court Street Theater, on Monday, January-\Ut 6 :IX)P,M. The dinner, in charge of Mr. Austin J. .-Mien, who will act as toast- master, b oi>«i to members in good standing oivly.
The goLngs-on above the venerable boards of Shea's Coun Street Theatre tonight, are hardly to be blamed upon the dramatic socierv'. Its mem¬ bers are peace-loving young Ameri¬ cans, devoted to the gentler amenities of civilized peoples. The cause of all the shooting was in Buflalo last winter interpreting Eugene O'Neill. Those who had a look at him found him an interesting study. Those who didn't will get a look at him soon in "Dear Old Darling" at the Erianger.
In 1913, a gay young hoofer in New- York decided this country needed more than a good nickel cigar. It needed a good mystery show, not at all >o common then as now. Refusing to leave well enough alone, this chap by the name of Cohan, took a book by Earl Derr Biggers and made a play of it. First curtain went up at the Astor Theatre on Broad¬ way. September 22, 1913. It had "^ them screaming in the aisles. Since then, "Baldpate", like Time, has been marching on.
There will be some pretty tall doings at the old Irm this evening. Baldpate. to all appearances, is a sum¬ mer hotel on the mountain-side above Reuton. No more, no less. .At the present writing it is wrapped in Sinow arid silence. That traditional wintry blast, heralded so oft in song and story, whistles and whines about the eaves. There is frothing stirring among the covered pieces of furniture in the nuin office save the ghosts of departed summer revellers and flicker¬ ing shadows where the moonlight filters through the leaves outside the windows.
When the curtain rises at 8:30, the student body and their friends will have a chance to see just how many keys to Baldpate there really are. Peters, the Hemiit swears up and down the block and around comers that there's only one. He, of course, has it. At lr.ist. Kretz thinks he has it and that keeps hini happy. Messrs. Forhan, Moscato, Naples and Com¬ pany will have a few pointed remarks as to that. But etiough of this. The house lights are dimming, the chatter of the audience is fading, the foot¬ lights are Hooding the curtain. Eight- thirty.   On with the play!
