France will probably be badly bumped on the Folies Bergères expedition. They come with the notion that their production is superior to those of native managers. They believe that they can establish by the visit the supremacy of France across the orchestra and footlights. This they cannot do unless they call into consultation American musical comedy doctors. America has had the most and the tiredest business men for too many years not to have developed the funniest comedians, the loudest and fastest jazz and the most beautiful race of chorus girls that the world has ever seen...

...sending delegations to high schools and prep schools is not the purpose of this new work. It is to visit small communities of from two hundred to two thousand people that these teams are being organized. Now towns of this type can seldom boast of a high school, and if at all, of only a meagre three or four room affair. It is because the boys of these places know so little of the athletics, organizations, and activities common to the average city high school and preparatory school led that they need the contact and influence of the college...
