TEMPE
THE ALPHA ENTERTAINMENT.
A Large Attendance and a Pleasing
 Performance Friday Night.

The entertainment given at the nor nal auditorium Friday evening by the Alpha society was like all other pre- vious ones-it was a grand success in every respect. Tn the matter of at tendance, t was all that could be de- sired. Before the first scene the house was almost full and it required extra chairs to accommodate the audience before the evening was over
 The principal features of the pro- gram were two plays. The program opened by a selection by the Mandolin and Guitar club followed by a piano solo by Miss Maud Shrine. There was more music by the club and the curtain rose on the first play entitled "Si, Guns of Chocolate
 The stage was arranged to represent a college girls room and the effect was carried out perfectly. The decorations were superb and the stage had been arranged with a great deal of care. The young ladies who took part in the scene were Misses Jesse Burnett, Stel- Ia Pemberton, Sadie Cowan. Ethel Ming, Jean Benson and Marjorie Jobs. EaCh deserves particular mention but as the acting in each case was per feet 1t wOU.d be impossible to give a personal mention without undue repeti- ton. It is sufficient to say that each participant carried out her part in a manner that met with the enthusiastic apprObation of every member of the audience and as the curtain fell at the conclusion of the scene the audience was not satisfied but demanded a re- appearance of the six young ladies' Between this play and the next one. tIere was music by the Mandolin and | Guitar club which filled in the time while the stage settings were being rearranEed. About this time there was

 A report was made by Secretary C. A.

the usual demonstration on the part of the electric lights. They had been dull all the evening and on account of past experiences, when they went out com pletely, there was little surprise. The club, which was in the midst of a se- lection simply switched off on to some thing more familiar and continued in the dark. By and by the light came on again and the program was continued. There is something peculiarly strange and decidedly uprovoking the way the lights act whenever there is a normal entertainment and their disappearance at least once or twice each evening is becoming an expected incident to the program.
 The second play, 'Who to Win Him, % opened with a garden scene. As in the former play the stage was appropri- ately arranged and the garden effect was excellent. Those who participated in the play were VergiI King. as Q young man from the city in search of a wife: Halbert Miller, as father of four handsome and marriagable daugh- ters, Annie Smith, Belle Stephens. Birdena Huffe-, Iva Easterwood and their visiting cousin, Della Shaal; Hub bard, Moeur, as a youth aged 50 and an ardent admirer of all the young ladies, but man who could not make uD his mind. His peculiarities in that respect caused a great deal of amusement for
 the audience during the progress of the
 plot As in the preceding play, each character was portrayed in a charm ing manner and each and every par ticipant was accorded a hearty round of applause from the audience as he or she made some particularly pleas Ing remark in the course of cOnversa- tions thct were carried on.
 A chorus by young ladies and music by the club was followed by one of the most pleasing numbers on the even ing's program. a dumb bell drill by nine young ladies. Every movement
 was perfect in time with the music and l the drill gave a very good idea of what l is being accomplished during the forty 1 five minutes devoted to physical cul-
 ture each day by the young ladies oi the school.
 The evenings entertainment reSlects
 great credit not only on those who took part in it but also upon Miss Hutchin-
 son and Prof Frizzell under whose su- l pervision the affair was given. As ha. already been said the attendance was splendid and almost a hundred hollar:
 was realized by the performance.
