ments.
Miss Adams play of His Amber

The pupils of the Lyceum Theatre

short scene, and acted it very cleverly.
AT the rehearsals for Julius Cesar the
Lyceum School students were instructed

Under Willard Weihes leadership,
the Theatre orchestra has been crowded
with instruments for the last several
evenings, and considerable brightness,
livelinesS and genuine waking up has

orchestra, however, we should abolish
that hammer and tongs overture
played on Friday night. 1t took with
the third role, but tt az was the only
part of the house.
