ROLIOS SHOW READY TO CO AT 7:30 TONIGHT
With a sellout expected by this afternoon, Trolios— fun-filled two hours of Hollywood stars and fraternity Skits—is ready for the 7:30 curtain tonight with only one last-minute change. Connie Haines, petite songstress, will replace Liltin’ Martha Tilton on the “big name” lineup.
Ticket Chairman Sue Thompson said that the 2000 tickets are going fast and students should make their purchases early if they expect to attend.
“Miss Haines graciously agreed to fill in for Miss Tilton when the latter had to cancel all appearances because of the flu and we really appreciate Connie’s consideration,” Chairman Chuck Meerschaert said yesterday.
A Victor recording star, Miss Haines, who has appeared from the Copacabana in New York to the Cocoa-nut Grove in L.A., will share top billing with Jack Smith, the Modernaires. Frank Devol and his orchestra, plus some top-name judges.
Jack Smith, known as the man with the smile in his voice, has been featured as a song stylist on the CBS radio network for six years and teamsup daily with Gin-ny Simms and Dinah Shore. His first big song hit was
FINKY LEE . . I see you!
“Cruising Down the River,” which he recorded Tor Cap-itol. Recently Jack signed a contract to do his waxings on the Coral label.
Frank DeVol may be remembered by Trojans as the bandleader who played at the Homecoming dance last year. Frank is an arranger, composer, and singer beside leading one of Hollywood’s largest radio and TV orches-trase. He plays frequently at the Hollywood Paladium and records on the Capitol label.
The Modernaires, four guys and a gal who blend harmoniously, back such artists as Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, and Bob Crosby on radio and records and find time to wax a few exclusives of their own.
Art Linkletter is probably one of the best of the radio and TV emcees. His program, “People are Funny,” which has been heard over radio for many years, ranks with the best of the screwey give-away programs. Art also handles the “mike” on “Housepvty,” heard daily over TV and radio.
Judging the acts will be Comic Pinky Lee, pomposer Hoagy Carmichael, and Dr. Milo Sweet, alumnus and author of the Trojan fight song. Art Linkletter and
ART LINKLETTER . . . oh no you don't
Keenan Wynn also have tentatively agreed to serve as judges.
Tickets will be sold all day in Iron", of the Student Union and at the Student Union ticket office.
Because this year’s production is being held in Bovard auditorium instead of the Shrine as last year, there are only 2000 seats available, Miss Thompson explained. The opera is now playing at the Shrine.
“All tickets are 50 cents and are sold on a first come, first served basis,” she said, “there are no reserved seats.”
Sororities and fraternities may purchase a group of tickets by contacting Miss Thompson at the Alpha Delta Pi house.
The six fraternities who survived the eliminations have prepared their laugh-loaded skits and will be out to top the efforts of the professionals.
The houses and skit titles are Sigma Chi, “Musical Pantomime;” Alpha Tau Omega, “I’ve Come for the Rent;” Sigma Nu, “From Vaudeville to Video;” Pi Kappa Alpha, “By the Sea;” Lambda Chi Alpha, “High Noon;” and Delta Chi, “She’s Working Her Way Through College.”

“I shouldn’t have any trouble ‘falling in love’ with her in the play,” Booth said, "especially now that she’s Homecoming queen.” “Life With Father” is scheduled to play Nov. 6 to 11, in Bovard auditorium.
she dabbed her eyes with President Fagg’s handkerchief and said she couldn’t stop crying she was “so happy.”
