Hznzdrcd and Ons THE BIG sa. BROADCAST On January 24th, 1934, the Literary and Dramatic Society staged its first riot of the year. Rest assured, though, for it was not the type of riot so popular in the Chicago mill: war, but an out and out laugh riot, popularly entitled, The Big Broadcast. This promising title brought a packed assemblyg the girls praying for a glimpse of Bing Crosby, and the boys for a large portion of Kate Smith. Neither boys nor girls were entirely disappoin- ted, although Bing and Kate were forced to substitute, as were all the other radio stars. Ed. fwallingtonj Golightly genially an- nounced the opening of the big Station N.T.C. Studios, and, as the curtain rose, lack QXVhite- manl Hodgins and his boys crashed forth to tune of Rhapsody in Blue Nl, while Bud fBernie3 Shapiro cooed foamy phrases about Pabst Blue-Ribbon Beeah! Then followed a galaxy of vocal stars led by Kate Smith, Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers, all ac- companied by Hodgin's Collegians and punc- tuated by breezy witticisms a la Bernie. Sev- eral brilliant imitations of the nonsense of Ed. Wynne, the supercilious stutterings of Roy Atwell, and the criidities of Bert Lahr and Schnozzle Durante, were intermingled with orchestra selections, an accordian solo, and an exhibition H of ivory-pounding by ffiershwinj Bassett. These were only a few of the laugh and thrill-provoking highlights of this well arrang- ed programme, and the Literary and Dramatic Society should be congratulated on its splen- did and successful effort in promoting a pro- gramme that consistently brought down the packed house and created an unprecedented enthusiasm in the activities of the club. It is rumoured, and we hope it's true, that they are going to present it again soon. Special comment should be made as to the excellent manner in which the members of Form 4G enacted The Crimson Cocoanut, by Ian Hay, which preceded the Broadcast. I am sure they are to be heartily congratulated also, by the school as a whole.

Presently he paused and took the volume to Mr. Houston. Mr. Houston, he said, what does it mean by diplomatic phraseology? Mr. Houston thought for a while before he said: My boy, if you tell a girl that time stands still while you gaze into her eyes, that would be diplomacyg but if you were to tell her that her face would stop a clock you would be in for it.
