THE SILENT WOMAN

The students of the University Of
Vermont having met with such unex-
pected success In their presentation OF
Ralph Roster Doister last year, are
intending this year to put Ben john
sons comedy The Silent Woman, on
to the stage. In some respects the
presentation Of the play this year will
be more difficult than that OF last
year. There are more characters and
the parts more evenly distributed In
The Silent Woman than in RoiSter
Doister. There is much moe stage
business in the former than in the
latter, but the dramatic talent dis
played by the participants OF last
years play will warrant the under
taking OF this difficult task and as
sure its success.
For more than two months the
students have been industriously at
work on thei. parts. Hardly day
has passed that rehearsals have not
been held. Me-. Ernest Elton, well
known 10 dramatic circles as a master
hand In his work as stage manager,
has drilled the boys for number Of
weeks and given the true interpreter
tion to each Of the parts. Prof. Tup'
per, who is at the head Of the Eng.
lish department at the University,
has given bis careful attention to the
play and aided greatly In bringing
the parts to perfection.
The Dramatic Club is to play in
Barre on the evening OF April 10Th.
1t will also play In the following
places: Burlington, April 13; Ben.
nington, April Is: Bellows Falls,
