In passing judgment on the average
amateur theatrical entertainment, the
audience always makes allowance for
the novice No such plea is necessary
in the case OF 1.-The Mask and Wig
Club which last night gave one Of the
most delightful theatrical entertain

Theater before a capacity audience.
This dramatic organization from the
University of Pennsylvania presented a
musical comedy, "CnCis Sans Ditch"
The book bristles with clever lines. the
music is catchy and the piece is staged
with rare good taste.
The student actors in every instance
lived up to the reputation OF their IA

gave evidence Of the highest histrionic
ability.

professional companies in Washington

and imitators might well be envious OF
the talent which these two cOIlegians
evinced.
