EVENTS OF YESTERDAY IN THE SOCIAL WORLD Well Known Society Folk In Amateur TheatricaIS
  CLEVER COMEDY GIVEN
  Large Audience Witnesses the Pl sentation of "A Box of Monkeys" ! Which Was Presented With
 a Capable cast-Social.
CLEVER COMEDY GIVEN
BY ANNIE KENDRlck WALKER.

Befofe an appreciatiye audience. which gathered in the recreation hall of the Margaret Allen school last evening" the clever little comedy, entitled Box of Monkeys, was presented by a cast com posed of several well-knovvn society folk
 The entertainment was under the au- spices of the Kings Daughters. The young girls in the cast are all members of this organization, while as stage direc- tor Miss Dorothy Orr another member of the Kings Daughters, also had the financial interests of the organization at heart while experimenting the artistic side
 Much of the success of the entertain ment was due to Miss Orr who is one of the most talented and artistic girls in society. She arranged the cast directed the rehearsals, arranged the attractive stage settings. all the numerous details incident toward the presentation.
 The stage was arranged as a typical drawing room. There were two scenes. Miss Anna Vanhoose, in the role of chap eron for two young women whom she presented to New York society, gave a delightful portrayal.
 The roles of the Western girl and of an English girl, portrayed by Miss Connie Evans and Mss Marjorie Weatherly, were widely different in temperament and gave to each of these young women opportuni- ties for discrimination in their portrayals. Miss Evans won distinct triumphs as Sierra Bengaline," a breezy western girl, while as Genevieye Llandppore Miss Weatherly imbued with ultra English ideas, gave an ideal impersonation.
 Mir Hugh Martin, as Edward Raulston and MT. David Roberts as Chauncey Ogle- thorpe, acquitted themselves with great distinction.
 The lines were exceedingly entertaining, and the whole play was presented in a most creditable manner, leaving in the minds of the audience only one lingering regret as to why such clever comedy could have been called "A Box of Mon- keys We did not think very much of the name either7 admitted one of the cast.
 The proceeds from the play will be used in work for the Young ,Womens Chris tian association.
 The Kings Daughters is composed of rnmber of young women who constantly work for some charitable cause.

 Among some of the press notices are the following:
 The programme last night was an in teresting one, offering a variety of work in Italian, French, German and English. Perhaps her Magic Flute" aria (Mozart) was the most popular number, but she has long since won a reputation in that. Her clear-cut tones are peculiarly adapted to it's notes, and the runs and trills were done with captivating lit. The "Traviata', aria, "Ah, fors e lui,'' so we'll known, was done with surprising volume and dramatic power. A Strauss waltz, which finished the programme was per- haps her most brilliant number, and her rendition brought back memories of Sembrich. Of her French songs the "Vidale Exile" song some thought the best, and her little English numbers were bewitching. Sans Soucis Where Blossoms Crow brought the most ap- plause, though "Cupid's Wings" and "When Celia Sings" were done with equal daintiness and grace.
