"COLLEGE HUMOUR”-

QUEEN'S THEATRE

"College Humour,” now showing

at the Queen's Theatre, is a fast moving comedy of American col- lege life with good musical num- bers and thrilling scenes of Ameri- ean football games. ¡

Jack Oakle, who has the leading role, is seen as a gay-minded stu- dent who falls in love with a col- lege girl (Mary Koroman), helps ja "fraternity" brother, Richard Arlen, through his troubles, and, of course, wins the great football match for his side.
