EVA LE GALLIENNE ONE OF LUMINARIES AT ANNUAL SMOKER

Ice Cream, Soft Drinks, Cigarettes, Gum, Pipes Given Away at Affair in Sanders Theatre Tonight

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the addition of Eva Le Gallienna and Elsie Janis, well known stage personalities, to an already swollen list of celebrities, arrangements are finally complete for tonight's 1942 Freshman Smoker for which over 1500 will gather in Sanders Theatre, Memorial Hall.

With admission free and festivities commencing at 9 o'clock, the big stag party will feature a starting array of talent plus the additional attraction of free refreshments to be dispensed in Memorial Hall. Drinks donated by Hires, Moxie, and Coca Cola, ice cream from Hood's, and Chiclet chewing gum will be distributed, and all who attend will also be presented with cigarettes, tobacco, and pipes given by Leavitt and Pierce, and by Liggett and Myers.

Hildegarde

As previously announced, at the head of the list is Hildegarde, who is traveling from New York especially for the Yardling gathering. According to George A. Kuhn, Jr., Chairman of the Smoker Committee, she will do some "double piano work" and "will sing in her own inimitably style." The "women and song" motif will be completed when "the first lady of swing," Ella Fitzgerald, gives out with some of her famous arrangements.

World of Sport

Representing the world of sport will be Buddy Hasset of the Boston Bees baseball team and Victor Jones, sports editor of the Boston Globe. George C. MacKinnon, columnist with the Boston Record, will preside as Master of Ceremonies.

Frank Fay and Eddie Dowling from the realms of the theatre will be present, as will musicians Roy Eldridge and Albert Ammons, who are flying up from New York for the evening.

Doors will open at 7:30 o'clock for those with special invitations and for Freshmen, who may gain admission on presentation of Bursar's, or Dining Hall, Cards. Upperclassmen will be admitted after 8;45.
