...Jumbo is no cheap production. Mr. Rose got the peerless team of Rodgers & Hart to write his score, able Albert Johnson to do his sets and to refurnish (cost: $40,000) the fusty interior of North America's best-known show house (rental: $104,000 a year).

When the Advocate errs it should receive correction from the University and from all who cherrish its good name. The college magazine of Kittredge, Hart, Copeland, Roosevelt (Theodore), T. S.
