NONE-SUCH  BROTHERS' 
CIRCUS. 

Saturday  was  a  gala  dav  at 

the 
Agricultural  College  when 
the 
farmer  lads  and  lassies  were  given 
the  grand  opportunity  of  seeing  the 
great  shows  of 
the  None-Such 
Brothers.  T he  day  was  ideal  for  a 
circus  crowd,  not  warm  enough  to 
be  sticky,  and  not  cold  enough 
to 
make  the  animals  dormant. 

It  was  2 130 in  the  afternoon  when 
the  beauty  and  the  chivalry  of  M. 
A.  C.  lined  up  along  Faculty  R ow 
and  the  street  car  tracks  to  see  the 
great  pageant  march  by.  To  quote 
from  one  of  the  co  eds.  this  feature 
the  grand  moral  organization 
of 
was  "Certainly  H ot  Stuff!" 

In  the  lead  was  the  Manager  M. 
Nonesuch  and  our  noble  Chief  of 
Police,  followed  by  Jordan's  world 
renowned  M.  A.  C.  Marine  Band 
pouring  forth  strains  of  T he  Bill 
board,  to  which  J u m b o,  the  sacred 
white  elephant  was  doing  a  quick 
step  that  would  make  a  military  hop 
look  like  a  lame  man  with  delirium 
tremens  trying  to  do  the  Highland 
Fling.

Wild  T o m,  the  only  living  member 
of  a supposed  extinct  race  of  African 
cave  dwellers,  was  constantly  trying 
to  eat  the  stone  steps  from  the  Fac 
ulty  residences.  W i th  the  one  hun 
dred  other  animals  with  the  bands 
and  chariots, and  the  pretty  women, 
the  parade  was  three  miles  long. 

In  addition  to  the  animals  in  the 
the  visitor  saw  in  the  rue-

nagerie  of  the  big  show  several  ani 
mals  and  cages  which  the  shot t  road 
ways  and  streets  of  M.  A.  C.  would 
not  accommodate  in  the  parade. 

T he  most  interesting  perhaps  was 
the  terrible  sea  serpent,  whose  arms 
were  continually  on  the  move  and 
coming  in  contact  with  those  who 
were  careless  euough  to  get  near  it.

T he  light  and  heavy  weight  bal 
ancing  and  slack  wire  walking  by 
Prof.  DeBoe  was  one  of  the  features 
of  both  afternoon  and  evening  and 
was  much  appreciated.  T he  J a p 
anese  ball  roller, the  parallel  bars  by

his  ability  to  do a few  himself.  T he

Upon  further  reflection  he  decided 
that  because  of  the  general  appreci 
ation  of  his 
fine  Saturday  night 
audience,  no  further  charge  would 
be  made.  T he  music  and  singing 
was  of  course  of  a  high  order  and 
from 
the  lullaby  coon  song  to  the 
bear  dance  under  the  direction  of 
Prof.  Russianknohaircutsky, 
the 
program  was  highly  appreciated. 
T he  comedian's  favorite  "  A  R a re

with  the  audience.

At 

the  best  talent  of 

the  Students'  Concert  given 
by  the  Michigan  Conservatory  of 
Music  on  Friday  evening, April  7th, 
Miss  Hannah  Bach  presented  " T he 
L a r k"  by  Glinka-Balakirew.  On  a 
program of  fourteen  numbers,  which 
represented 
the 
schoo',  it  was  a  distinct  triumph  for 
Miss  Bach  to  stand  as  one  of 
the 
three  best  artists  in  technique  and 
artistic  finish,  while  she  stood  unriv 
aled  in  a  sympathetic 
interpretation 
of  her  subject,  which  held  her  audi 
ence  in absolute  control. 
It is  under 
stood that  Miss  Bach has been  offered 
a  position  as  instructor  in  the  school.
