THE MODULUS Footlights OPENING with the melancholy strains of The Prisoner ' s Song in a setting of striking re- ality, the 1930 Revue, justly called the Bars and Stripes, started slowly, although the calmness was soon interrupted by the shooting of guns and gen- eral commotion. It was only the prison strike in- stigated by some unruly horn blower. The se- renity of the place was soon restored by the war- den and band leader, who was none other than Mr. Day, who was a very good impersonation of Paul Whiteman, for his size. To create a better interest in the ticket sale, a popularity contest was held in connection with the Revue. The nominees were elected by the whole student body from among the senior girls. These choices were : Elizabeth Ewing, Ossa Ham- ilton, Georgianna Lyman, Wilda Mae Lucas, and Mary Ellen Willis. Ossa Hiamilton won the con- test by receiving the most votes from the ticket sale. She was duly presented with a silver loving cup, as a token of being chosen queen of the Bars and Stripes Revue. After the revolt was put down, and with the orchestra playing Strike Up the Band, all the choruses figured in a grand march. To prove that the orchestra is a great improvement over former rehearsals, it played the piece So Beats My Heart For You as it was attempted at prac- tices, and as a contrast to the pi-oduction after eight weeks of rehearsing. This comedy afforded the audience many laughs, because of the terrible rhythm, aggravating questions, and useless waste of sticks by the director. Because of crooning like Rudy Vallee, one poor boy was sentenced to sing to the jailers to prove his verdict. This was none other than Paul Guthier. Many queer things can happen in a park, as was shown by the next number, A Bench in a Park. The two chief of- fenders, it seems, were Louis Lichtsinn and Ossa Hamilton, with petty ones being Rose Blockson, Collette Kindler, Guenevere Shores, Mary Jean- uette Wilson, Max Rudicel, James Tyler, Duane Bonam, ajid Tom Wasmuth. As an outcome of the last scene, Mary Kithcart sang Just a Little Closer. However, it began to seem as if the whole show was getting to be somewhat hot, so to cool off the atmosphere, the band played When the Organ Played at Twilight, with the trio joining in on the chorus. Rapidly the time changes from evening to morning, when Guen- evere Shores woke up the revue (Continued on Page 32) The Bars and Stripes Jazz Orchestra (above) Back row.
