 The fun-eenent ef f~tbe last Hyper on production, that of Sam Bernard in Nearly q Hero" was sadly lacking, The only near-approach to hunor was found in the part of Baron Van Berg hof, which was played by Jess Dandy, but that gentlemans fun was not as dandy as was hls name-at least 1t was not as compared with Mir Bernard's, The star of the production Qor why longer put of treating of hero was Elsa Ryan, who played the part of Fraulein Van Berghof to perfection. She was the height of refinement at every move, making something of a strong contrast to some of the chorus ladies in some of their dances. Miss Ryan was as light on her feet as q gazelle and she sang pleaslngly, sweet ly and truly, so that the big aggrega- ton of college boys present seemed never to tire of her.
 Miss Cunning played the title role of Marelle acceptably. though she did not share the noness' houors which Miss Ryan had Her singing showed exceptional voice control and a very wide range. Lawrence Wheat played tho part of the young male juvenile of the production, that of Bud Wilson, a breezy young man from Kalamazoo, who was once captain of his home baseball team and who told of his ylc- tories with much eclat.
 The plot. which was somewhat out of the ordinary, centered around Mar | celle. It seems that the baron had re- ceived his lands by inheritance with tho understanding that after twenty l years they should go to his oldest son, | If he had no son they would go to his | brothers oldest son. The play opens with the latter coming to claim the estate The baron, who ls very much | of a 'Dutcnman, gets all mixed up. He decides that he must get a son at once and sends servant to get a nine l -year-old stranger. He does not impress the sex of the stranger sufii- clently upon the man who returns with Marcelle. a free e-and-easy, lively Paris ian woman, Parisite as the baron calls her From these beginnings the plot advances
