 'Sapho,' adapted from the novel of Alphonse Daudet, was presented be- fore a large and critical audience at the Camden theater last night and made one of the hits of the season.
 "Sapho," as presented by Miss Kathryn Purnell, is shorn of the racy. the sensational, the libidinous, and in its expurgated form can be witnessed without the least shock to the sensitive or refined
 Miss Purnell is one of the cleveres. emotional actresses that ever appeared in this city and her artistic portrayal of the unfortunate Fanny Le Grand was greatly appreciated. In the heavier scenes the silence was so intense that the house seemed oppressive, but at the conclusion of each act Miss Purnell received a number of curtain calls. The concensus of opinion was that Miss PurnelI's "Sapho" will live long in the memory of those who saw this play.
 Miss Purnell was given excellent support by Frank Munnell, W. Jeff Murphy, Harry c. Bewley, Elizabeth Hunt and Jennie Stanley In fact Miss Purnelrs support was far above the average of that usually seen in a pop ular price theater Quite a neat bit of character work was given by Mir.

YALE PLAY SCORES
Fine Work by Student Actors Presenting Oscar Wilde
 Comedy.
EVERYONE WELL PLEASED
Bouquets for Actors, Curtain Calls and Speech from Coach
 Short.

Any kind of A play acted in the most indifferent fashion by Yale men at promenade time would be sure to be a success. The performance of "The Importance of Being Earnest" by the Yale University Dramatic club was therefore all the more of suc- cess for the reason that it was admir- ably acted. The action of the play was excellent, due to the work of Frank Lee Short, and the rendition of the lines by the principals perfect Usually the main attraction at promenade week events is the fair sex but it must be acknowledged that the feature of Saturday night was the play actors.
 The selection of this play of Oscar Wilde by the Yale thespians was a most happy one as it has lines abounding in humor and touch of sarcasm that is delightful There are no tedious moments and the situations are laughable. It deals with the love affair of four young people. The two men have invented brothers to give them an opportunity to be near the girls they care for, and have selected the name of Earnest. The young la diess in turn have fallen in love with the men as far as one can learn for the reason that they each are sup posed to bear the romanic name of Earnest. In the end, of course, the happy couples are united and all ends with a lovers group, front stage. The

play also has the additional charm of being well stage, especially the second act, which is so often not so in the case of amateur performances.
 Great credit is due to Mir. Short for the manner in which his pupils did their work. While it is hard to select one above all others still the one man whose acting shone out with particu- lar brilliance was Tom Achelis '09 in the role of Algernon Moncreiv, a hap py- go-lucky youth with a susceptible heart and most valuable imaginary frend whom he calls Banbery. Achelis handled himself with remarkable ease for an amateur and spoke his lines with rare expression and under standing. His work in the first act when he was on the stage the greater part of the time was exceptionally good.
 E. M. Wooley divided the honors with Achelis in the role of Lady Bracknell. He walked, talked and looked the part of the middle aged British matron, and put rare humor into the rendition of his lines that was one of the charming features of the piece. c. T. Crocker as Lady Gwendolen Fairfax and T. l.. Riggs as Miss Prism both cared for their parts in an excellent manner. A. M. Hart we'll as Cecil Cardew firted, worked his eyes and tripped about for all the world like girl of eighteen and was really an attractive maid at that In fact all the young men who had fe- male parts to impersonate showed the results of long and careful training.
 R. c. M. Pierce cared for the part of John Worthing, J P, a young man found in a hand bag when child, ex- cellently One of the funniest parts of the play was the scene in the first act where he made love to Lady Gwendo- len. C. R. Hopkins, as the Rev. Canon Chausuble. D. D.. F. r. Butler as Mer- riam, and H. Smith as Lan, man servant, all did their part to make the satisfactory whole
 That the audience was pleased is att tested to by the fact that they gave
 the cast curtain call after curtain call and finally insisted on a few works from MT. Short, There were boquets handed. tossed and thrown over the footlights until everyone was happy and the promenade girls and their es- corts were happy because the play was
