TWO 1 CROWDS
Standing Room Only at the
Quad Club Pretbrmances
Given Here.
3FF TO KANSAS CITY TODAY
Success of Last Year Is Again
Made by Musical Com
edy Com pan'.
The Quad Club "came back"
with another musical comedy hit
Friday night, and again last night,
when it presented "The Land of the
Toreador" to two standing-room-only
audiences at the Columbia Theater.
Remembering the success of last
year's play. Columbia and University
folk as many of them as the theater
could possibly hold went, satislied
that they would be amused. And
they were not disappointed.
Friday night at the initial produc
tion, the Toreadors Kent the crowded
house laughing and applauding until
nearly midnight. Every encore the
company bad planned in advance
was used and still the admirers "out
in front" insisted on others in the
musical numbers. Perhaps no play
given here by students has been more
pretentions in scenery, costumes and
range as this year's production of
the club- and that pleased the big
crowds, too.
A Play That Pleased.
There was praise for the music
written by L. O. Muench; praise for
the comedy, itself, written by J. A.
Chenoweth and It. F. Lakenan, Jr.;
praise for the soloists, the chorus
and the pony ballet. A month's hard
work of rehearsing brought reward
In an attractive, smooth performance
of a light, musical play that pleased.
A deserter from the Tinted States
Army by a prize-light with the light
weight champion of .Mexico, won for
Revolutionists the government of that
country in the play. A New York
newspaper man at the University
he is George L. Itoyle who bellied
promote the light, was rewarded by
the hand of the daughter of the
.Mexican general. All the ollicers of
the I'nited States Army married
beautiful heiresses, and everybody
was happy.
The plot deals with the recent
.Mexican Revolution. In three scenes
of lively songs and choruses the va
rious threads of the plot are com
bined. The curtain rises on the first
scene, with the Senoritas, Chituitas,
and Caballeros all in the .Mexican
costume of red and black, the men
wearing huge sombreros, while
sing the opening chorus, "In
they
the
Land of the Toreador."
The .Many Songs.
A "Hoarding School Chorus" of
girls Vera Holcomb, Elizabeth Phil
lips. Sarah Hale. .Mildred Hell, Alice
Sparks and Allene ISeauchanip in
college caps and gowns, is followed
by the duet, "Heroes," sung by
.Murphy and Burke, the two desert
ers, played by .Mr. Chenoweth and
.Mr. Lakenan. Variations on the
theme of why "I'd rather be a coward
alive than be a hero dead" were giv
en in response to the continued en
cores that followed this number.
"Sing .Me That Love Song Again,"
sung by .Miss Carmelita Anderson
and George L. Boyle, and "As Long
as the Hand Plays Dixie," by Joseph
):. ISrown with a chorus of soldiers
completed the first act.
The second scene at the Toreadors'
Rest was introduced by "The Idol."
sung by Frang 0. Schnaitman. the
landlord of the inn and the undis
puted lightweight champion of .Mex
ico, accompanied by a chorus. His
dancing drew much applause.
"Stroll With .Me Through Lovers'
Lane" was sung by Miss Jessie
Kaithel and the chorus.
Tlie "Itaggy Roberts Rag" chorus,
led by Murphy was followed by "I
Want the World to Know I Love
You" sung by Miss Josephine Hale,
and J. E. Ilrown.

Miss Carmelita Anderson, with
chorus. "Foolish, Fickle. Funny
Mary Ann." a duet by Miss Raithel
and Mr. Si hnaitman "Lavendar Lou"
led by .Mr. Lakenan with the "Laven
dar Chorus," and "Under Luna's
Looney Light" sung by Miss Hale,

mass meeting or University women
which will be held this week. At
this meeting other candidates may
be nominated from the floor. The

BAPTIST
PLAN
MEETINGS
Dinner Will He Held Each Month in
District.
A movement has been started in
the Baptist church to have the mem
bers become better acquainted with
each other. It is planned to have
a monthly dinner at the Virginia
Grill to which all the members are
invited.
The church has also been divided
into twelve districts. Each district
is to have a luncheon at some or the
member's home every few weeks. Ac
cording to II. O. Severance, the idea
or these "get-together meetings" is
to show the members that their ser
vices toward the church are appreci
ated and not. primarily, the money
that they give.

WESTMINSTER LOST
Tigers Won an "Old Fashion
ed Slugging Contest
Yesterdav.
Followers or old-rashioned town
baseball, who like to see the ball
swatted out or sight, would have
been satisfied with yesterday's game
between Missouri and Westminster.
Missouri won 4 to 2.
Nine hits were credited to West
minster and ." to Missouri, but the
records do not begin to show how;
heavily bats were swung. "Dutch"
Helmreich, right fielder Tor Missouri,
twice smashed the ball into the north
bleachers Tor the two-base credit but
in the suventh inning he sent the hall
nearly to Rollins Gate and circled
the bases. In the same inning
Huston got a three-base hit. Mc
Kee, Westminster's little second
baseman, twice knocked the ball high
into the north bleachers. Baird, ol
Westminster, also got a two-base hit.
Francis Fisher, Westminster's
third baseman, was spiked in the
lert temple by Helmreich as he
reached Tor a low throw which the
Missouri runner was trying to slide
out. Three stitches were taken to
close the wound. Fisher was un
able to finish the game but was not
seriously hurt.
Missouri scored one run in each
the third and firth innings and two in
the seventh. Westminster scored
one run in the seventh and one in
the eighth innings. The Westmin
ster score-keeper charged his team
with ' errors, while the Missouri
score-keeper scored but two errors
against the visitors. Missouri made
2 errors.
CENTRAL EASY FOR THE TIGERS
Score Was 10 to - and Coach Field
Tried Many Players.
The Tigers debated the Central
College nine Friday arternoon on
Rollins Field by a score or 10 to 2.
The battery lor Central was Smith,
pitcher, and Clingenpeel. catcheY;
Angerer pitched Tor Missouri and T.
Hall caught. Missouri made three
scores in the rourth and another
three in the eight inning.
Angerer, though a little wild,
pitched an effective game, allowing
Central but four hits, while his team
mates gathered a. total of nine, five
of which were made in the fourth
inning. Four Central men walked,
to the five Tigers passed by Smith;
each pitcher hit a man with the ball.
Angerer was well on the way to
equalling "Bill" Harper's str'keout
record or twenty-two men in nine in
nings, made last year; when at the
end of the eighth he had fanned
seventeen men. Five of these were
struck out in the third inning, two
of them getting to first on the third
strike. Harper in the game with the
Japs last year struck out eighteen
men.
Coach Field shifted tfce line-up
several times. Brainard was taken
out in the fifth; Hall switched to
short and Wheat put in at first base.
Hornback was replaced by Huston at
second in the same inning; in the
sixth. Guy replaced Carter who start
ed the game at third sack. Grey,
who was robbed or a sare three bag
ger in the rourth, because or railure
to touch first base, was pulled out
in the seventh. Helm went in lor
him. Kent Catron was umpire.
The line-up or Central College
was: Clingenpeel, catcher; Rals
ton, third base; Mead, center-field;
Hughes, second base; Miller. Ieft
field; Briggs, right-field; Van Stud-
dirord, first base; Smith, pitcher;
and Slagel, Short-stop.
