Vaudeville THE month of September was a momentous one in the history of Berkeley High because of three things — two holidays and the Vaude- ville. And the latter was certainly the top-notch of all the suc-4 cessful Vaudevilles ever produced in our Auditorium. To give it the space it deserves would mean many pages so in this limited space a Hoover- ized account must suffice. As the strains of the overture died away we were let in on the love troubles of Hall Griffiths and Ida Simpson, which were finally solved by administering Mansfield Lovell ' s love potion to cruel Papa Williams. Then the spirit of the times was presented to us in Tay Cutler ' s Sammy Intrudes, whose array of pretty girls made us think that maybe war wasn ' t so bad after all and made Sammy Haven an object of envy. Next came The Doctor ' s Visit featuring more fair ones, who laid a deep plot to trap the handsome doctor and most certainly would have succeeded if he hadn ' t turned out to be a she. Some music , was the unanimous verdict after Virginia Treadwell ' s offering and it was just that — the finest ever offered to Berkeley High. Wickes Glass then showed us how to do three things at once and get away with it, and incidently how to beat the landlady and kid pretty girls. After two pleasing selections by the orchestra, Little Bugs revealed the marvels of science when Bill Inskeep was jolted into the defense of Marian Woolsey by Doctor St. John ' s dope. More music, this time by James Sewell and Cyril Ries, who gave us our first introduction to the big hit A Long, Long Trail, and also a fine bit of humor in their last bit of music. Of course no Vaudeville would be complete without a dance offering, so this time Ruth McBride carried off the honors with her fire-fly dance.

THE VAUDEVILLE ARMY Regular Jazz music was offered by the Modern Quintet, whose melo- dies set every foot in the house to keeping time. A novelty in the shape of Living Pictures was then displayed and made a big hit, especially in the patriotic poses. But all good things must end, and with regret we realized that the orchestra was playing the exit march and that Vaudeville, Fall ' 17 was history.
