with the program. Probably the best
feature of the program was the farce

Trust waverly Jackson as Lord
Jack Townley played the part with
pronounced success, though Allen
Overton as Maria was just as good.
Clara Atkisson as Jennie Patie, Vir-
ginia Moore as Clorinda Courcey,
Mary Cant as Eula Otis. Media Allen
as Old Mrs. Boothy filed their roles
with entire satisfaction.
The clarionett solo by Paul Bidez
and the reading, interviewing Mrs,
Pratt" by Mildred Powell, were num-
bers of merit.
The defamation by Robert Gil
breath, "Eulogy to Lafayette" was
good, while the song, IAN Old Maids
Tea Party" sung by Minnie Bell
Cakes Lillian Brant, Elaine Cherry
and Ethel Shaw, dressed in costumes
to represent very old time old maids,
was one OF the finest numbers. Bond
