Next to Palace Theater ON TO VICTORY IN HOOT-VILLE, AGGIES AGGIELAND BARBER & BEAUTY SHOP North Gate Opposite Post Office Bryan’s New Queen Theater is to be opened by the Bryan Amuse ment Company Tuesday at 8 p m., Mrs. Morris Schulman, man ager of the company, has announc ed. Music by the Aggie Band will open the program, and refresh ments may be served. “Fifth Ave nue Girl” will be the show for the opening night. Class A pictures are assured, Mrs. Schulman said. Modernistic is the theme of the new building from inside to out side. On the outside the most prominent feature is a revolving neon-lighted crown for the “queen.” High white front walls make the name of the theater stand out boldly. On the inside the first door opens into a small anteroom. The next set of doors reveal another small lobby and the main audi torium of the theater, with stairs leading to the balcony on the left. Together, the auditorium and the balcony will seat 550 customers at one time, a figure that nearly doubles its former seating capac ity. A rearrangement of the seats assures a clear view of the screen from every seat in the house, and there will be no angle views. Other modernistic improvements include deep plush carpets for the floors, indirect lighting throughout the house in varying shades and colors, restrooms equipped with streamlined furniture, and a light- hand rail for the stairs. New equipment for sound and projection have been added, and air-conditioning with a carrier re frigeration unit has been installed. Don Cossack— (Continued from page one) bookings at is is physical possible for them to fill must be turned down each season. On September 30th the Don Cossacks launched their tenth American tour of 100 consecutive concerts, and will sing in a different city every night un til they sail to fill immediate European engagements. Arranging for transportation and lodgings for the giant chorit- ers, few of whom speak any Eng lish, presents numerous problems to the Don Cossacks’ American manager, Paul H. Stoes, who esti mates that his Chorus is the costliest musical importation ever* to have been attempted for this country. Its members were in the saddles Museum Exhibit— (Continued from page one) in length. The spears range from four to seven feet in length and are tipped with steel, bone, or wood. Too, there is shown a long tube through which are blown small wooden darts—which are evidently poisonous. Along with these Indian relics are several cases of insects which were taken from the same locality. Huge butterflies covering the palm of one’s hand are shown. They are of a vivid blue-green color, and change their color readily in ac cordance with the angle of light. Other butterflies shown are brown with intricate wing design. In the same cases are shown a few grote squely large grasshoppers, measur ing six to eight inches long, and colored a deep red and gold. Last ly are displayed two enormous tarantulas whose lengths from the tip of the forelegs to the tip of the rear legs approach ten inches Supplementing this collection are a few goat-skin paintings of a native artist.

Dr. Trot ter also reported the results of the Civil Service examinations tak en by many agricultural seniors last April. According to the re ports, Texas Aggie seniors ranked high in the examinations compared with other agricultural seniors throughout the United States. An interesting incident occur red to Harding in connection with his tour of Texas. College offi cials, working out details for his Texas visit, suggested that he take a plane from Corpus Christi to Dallas following his appearance at Texas A. and I. College at Kings ville, and received the following telegram in reply from the editor: “I rode in one with Orville Wright in 1909; he had me sitting up there in a ratten chair lashed to his damn machine; he was the aviator and I was ballast and I felt just like that; took place at College Park and scared me out of a month’s growth; he just sud denly reached out and plucked me from a group as about the right weight to go aloft. Since then does so happen I have not been in an airplane and just as I was getting to like it that time he came down. Prefer train.” SPECIAL LEAVES 7:15 A.M.

Sunday SOUTHERN PACIFIC LINES of fiery Cossack steeds, and spent their early lives galloping across the wide plains of the Ukraine and leading the charges of the Czar’s traveling unit. For convenience and checking purposes the Chorus is divided into nine groups of four men each, and as the rapidity with which they must travel to keep concert en gagements many miles apart on successive nights obliges them to “travel light”, the entire worldly possessions of the four men must be distributed between four med ium-sized suitcases, the allotment to each group. A fifth suitcase contains kitchen utensils to be used by the group, as the Don Cossacks have never had a chance to accustom themselves to Ameri can cuisine and prefer their own native concoctions. Finding hotels in each of the hundred or more American cities they visit during a season where 36 rooms on one floor are available and where cook ing in the rooms is permitted, is just a small part of Mr. Stoes’ job. The company manager who accompanies the Chorus on tour has his hands full, too, what with being obliged to hunt continually lost room keys at the most un earthly hours, talking the singing gentlemen out of their ancestral weakness for a little more vodka than will keep them gentlemen, ex tricating stray dried herrings and other odoriferous effects from lug gage into which they strangely find their way, and bailing the choristers out of jail for innocent infringements of the American law that after ten years’ acquaintance is still very much of a puzzle to most of them. As the chorus does not stay in any one place long enough to allow for laundry of the singers’ costumes, the tradi tional sapphire blue, scarlet-lined coats of the Cossacks have been given up in favor of simple black tunics, one or two of which can suffice for an entire season. The high conical Astrakhan hats, too, were found impractical for travel ing and far too popular as sou venirs with visitors to the Cos sacks’ dressing rooms; so the chorus now sings hatless.
