The Final Touches

Last Extrav. Rehearsal

"Smad" has been filling in time by wandering round the gym-, while extrav. rehearsals are in progress.

Extrav. is going to be good this year. W. J. Mountjoy Junior has got the cast of "Plutocrats" well in hand and is now knocking off the rough edges, and polishing things up. There are some snappy ballets and songs in this show. Wait till you hear "My Man's not a Man Like That." it sets your feet stamping and your voice humming.

The "Book of Bob" is being produced by Patrick Macaskill, and is also nearing completion. Jack Amers is taking the part of "Bob, the Simple Soul" while Bonk Scotney is acting as Sham, the tony.

John Carrad's show "Daze Bay Nights" is sure to be a success, with its male chorus of Maori maidens and its original melodies. There is also an excellent skit on the Russian Ballet.

In another corner of the gym. "Smad" encountered Joy Stock and Susie Saunders measuring people for their costumes. The frocks are very elaborate indeed, and will certainly look very effective on the stage.

In another corner, the publicity managers were in consultation. Seeing "Smad" they induced that personage to try and impress the College with the necessity of advertising

"It's a great show," they said. "But the people don't know it. Of course, we advertise in the daily papers, etc., but we want to do more than that. Everybody in the city must know that "Cappicade 1937" is starting Saturday, April 24, and they must be convinced that if they miss it, there will be a huge blank in their lives, just as if their best girl had turned them down. So all the students had better set their tongues waggling to their friends and acquaintances and families and bosses and . . . Also they can sell tickets, sell cappicades and if they have a car, they can obtain one of the small adverts, to stick on the window."

The Cappicade shop opened on Monday, so toddle along there and get your quota. This year's book will be on sale by the time "Smad" is published, so there is no need to boost it.

Capnicades can be obtained from the Cappicade Shop in Lambton Quay, opposite Kirkealdie and Stains or next to the Gresham Hotels or from the Exec. Room, or from the distributors, who will be on duty in the main hall every evening.

Those who wish to sell tickets, see D. M. Hatherly (ring Weir House. 45-012), or Laurie Desborough
