HONOR Spann Forms New Group With a series of programs designed to bring to Columbia the best profes sional and amateur stage talent in this locality, the Columbia Amusement Company, recently organized by Bus ter Spann, will start operations within the next month. The performances will be held at Drayton Hail and University students will be given special prices to the programs. They will also have an op portunity to appear on the stage as amateurs to augment the entertain ment of the professional troupers. "We are expecting to attract the best amateur performers in the state to appear on these programs, and we expect the University to furnish its share. Our purpose is to encourage promising amateurs by giving them a chance to appear! on the stage with recognized artists and make it possi ble for them to get a start in this work. We intend to do with musical comedy and light entertainment what the town theatre is doing for drama," Mr. Spann said. Concert artists, bands, orchestras, nd vaudeville acts from larger cities ill be booked for appearances in Co umbia. It is planned to start the ac ivities on a small scale and then to uild It up to what the Columbians xpect and desire. Buster Spann's orchestra will play t each of the presentations and other umbers and skits will be used along ith it. The feeling of fear lasts longer in e human mind than almost any ther emotion. It lasts one-tenth f a second.
