THE BATTALION
THIRD LYCEUM
NUMBER TO BE
GIVEN JAN. 17
Y. M. C. A. Entertainment Committee
Announces Coming of A. Mather
Hilburn.
The third number in the Y. M. C.
A. series of entertainment will be A.
Mather Hilburn, January 17. Mr.
Hilburn is a Master Entertainer and
Impersonator. His program here will
be given for entertainment purposes
only. With the aid of a make-up
box Hilburn will create some fine
types for you; types you know from
association with life; types that every
big city and every little village holds
among its people. Hilburn will
“hold the mirror up to Nature” for
you and you will laugh. A moment
ago a kindly old German was philos
ophising; now it’s braun man of the
Emerald Isle whose whole-souled fun
convulses; a moment hence and your
sides will ache at the drollery of Hil-
burn’s recreated characters of the
“Jack Oaks Country.”
An artist of the first rank, is Hil
burn, and yet, seemingly entirely un
conscious of the fact. Essentially a
comedian and character delineator,
he frequently ranges the entire scale-
of emotion during an entertainment.
From the moment of his first entry
until the conclusion he does not leave
the platform, and characters are
created one after another with light
ning-like rapidity. Not a dull mom
ent from the rise to the fall of the
curtain.
“Mighty-fine,” you’ll say—just as
hundreds and hundreds of other aud
iences have said. In Hilburn you
find the “attraction of no regrets.”
GALVESTON CLUB CELEBARTES
HOLIDAYS WITH A DANCE
AT HOTEL GALVEZ
The Galveston Club staged what
was said to be the prettiest and most
enjoyable social function of the holi
days in the Treasure Island of Am
erica. The dance was well planned
and well carried out and quite a
large attendance of ex-students and
Alumni made the affair seem almost
like a home-coming. Dancing was
enjoyed every minute of time from
nine until two and as over a hun
dred couples were present the beau
tiful Galvez ballroom was well fil
led. The hall was tastefully and
gorgeously decorated with red and
white streamers and myriads of A.
and M. pennants. Many and fervent
were the congratulations heaped up
on the members of the Galveston
Club for the gay and delightful en
tertainment given to the Atis So
ciety. It is to be hoped that this
dance will only be a beginning; a
precedent to direct the Galveston
Club of all future years.

DR. AND MRS. R. P. MARSTEL-
LER ENTERTAIN THE JUNIOR
AND SENIOR VETS
Last Wednesday night, Jan. 7, Dr.
and Mrs. R. P. Marsteller entertain
ed the Junior and Senior Veterinary
Science students with the most de
licious and sumptuous dinner that
they have ever sat before. The
dishes were so varied and contents
therein contained were so pleasant
to the eyes and sweet to the mouth,
that one foot on the floor was hard
to follow. Besides turkey, salad,
and the most wonderful hot rolls,
the feast was marked by many varied
dishes.
After everyone had eaten “ele
gant sufficiency” cigarettes and ci
gars were served and every one took
a cigar but Dr. Marsteller, and he
had to break his “golden rule” by
taking a cigarette and he prefers a
Chesterfield.
Dr. and Mrs. Marsteller are to be
complimented by the Junior and Sen
ior Vets, not upon their generosity
but upon their ability to plan a ban
quet. Words cannot express our ap
preciation to them, who are always
willing to give a helping hand to
everyone besides the Vets.
Others being present were Dr. C.
P. Fountain. Dr. Lenert and Mr.
Dulaney.
FALLS COUNTY CLUB DANCE
As a method of introducing the
famous A. and M. spirit and pep in
to Marlin and at the same time af
ford the members of the Falls
County Club the pleasure of enjoy
ing their holidays right, the above
named club presented an evening of
gaiety on Dec. 23, the like of which
had never been witnessed by the
natives. Holick’s Novelty orchestra
furnished the shaking incentive
but in no way did this compare with
the proverbial “tea” in any respect.
The Alumni supported the dance
loyally both with their presence and
presents and all unanimously agreed
that A. and M. still had the spirit
that pervaded the atmosphere of Col
lege Station when they toted a rifle
and dined at the Sbisa Soup House.
Many out of town school men were
present anr their being there only
sufficed to make the matter more
binding. It is the intention to make
this an annual affair.
