Sigma Nu Revue Is Colorful Affair
The Sigma Nu Revue played last night at Phillips High school to an enthusiastic audience, and the local stars outshone themselves in the performance. Alfred Eubank, manager of the revue, worked hard to put it over and the success of the evening brought him many congratulations.
Mildred Adams, Violet Nappi, Penelope Pruitt, Sara Hankins and Sara Claire Lurton of Montgomery made a hit with their various dances and pretty costumes.
Nellie Kincaid sang several "blues" selections and won much applause. The Nunnally juvenile orchestra furnished the jazz music, and Lewis Myatt sang with his usual charm.
The style show put on by Augusta Friedman was very attractive, the gowns being fascinating and lovely. The models were all pretty, and had the chic so desired.
It is impossible to tell each clever number in detail, suffice to say that the show went over with a bang, and was a credit to the Sigma Nus.
The entire program was as follows: Prologue, Mr. Alfred H. Eubank.
"We Love You," words by Andrew (Jack) Klein, Misses Caroline Shields, Clementine Allen, Elizabeth Boatrice, Daisy Hoover, Virginia Mills, Eula Martin, Nellie Kincaid, Frances Brook, Elva Lavies, Julia Newman, Eugenia Perry, Hilda Webb, Elizabeth Stephenson, Nellie Mae McGrail, Ann Jo Morrisson and Cassie Crowson.
