'Whsn Congress Came to Princeton
or when the Triangle Club Came to New
York had two performances yesterday
at the Waldorf.Astoria before audiences
that crowded the grand ballroom Of the
hotel.
The Triangle Club Is the dramatic OF
ganization Of undergraduate Princeton
and It ls called the Triangle Club because
we'll, for some excellent reason, The
club has been making annual visits TO New
York for q number OF years and II has a
| right TO regard lis 1908 visit as among its
most successful
All these regular actors are invariably
glad to get back 10 New York after doing
the one night stands, and the Triangle Club
Is just In from a journey that included
Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo, Ithaca, Orange,
/ N. j., and other places where barns are
stormed. Washington and Philadelphia
! will see the club next and the 'old grade
| will get theirs at Princeton on Commence
ment day. .
It's simon pure college job is when
| Congress Came TO Princeton The only
person mixed up in It who's not entitled TO
wave the Orange and Black is chap who
| plays the slide trombone in the orchestra,
and even he is getting on. When the com
! pAny opened It's road tour at Columbus
| this trombone person was inclined 70 think
| there might be such place as New Haven.
/ Now he can give the locomotive cheer on
| the slide trombone, and he says the only
| real water In the world Is in the Carnegie
Lake.

comedy. Or maybe he was the heroine.

Kitty Rirke, the worlds tallest barmaid.

anything like this occurred:

The plot Of the show, following the
example OF ia author, may be briefly dis
missed. It's all about a British spy who
tries TO kill patriot, young student who
is In love, a number Of other students and
several young persons in sk irts. together with
| Kbtv Rirke. OF course there are many
! stage effects and some OF them are very
elective effects. There's good night
song, with many candies and young pc rson
! just going upstairs to bed, and first class
bass voice outpOured by Mr.. Cass, 'Oe.
with a great many metrical good nights,
| from the pen OF young Mr.. Cooper and
some meliihuous interpolated music by
| A. II. Samuels. O9,
But KITTY KIRK and the eight show girls
\ are the principal pieces Of resistance. The
| show girls are all robust damsels but that's
| more or less the fashion just at present
and football and track athletics do GER

three or four shapely ankles In the collec-

any natter lingerie in any white goods

They gave D. H. McA Pyle, 'Oe the
toughest job In the piece. He had TO make
| frequent love TO Brown Rolston, TO- To

outfit, hid his face ooquettishly behind a
fan and pirouetted at appropriate in

As for KittT BSrks, that was different.
Mr.. Durstine made her a very pert and
sauoy maid and he played her the same
/ way, only more so. Mr.. Durstine in fact
! is the possessor Of a distinctly droll per-
sonaty, and the ability TO get II across the
! footlghts is also his,
The Princeton coll aborators realize the
! value Of incidental business quite az much
as any Of the Broadway producers, The
! formula now In vogue in the musical com
edy business Is this: As soon as any OF your
principals have sung a verse trot out a
bunch Of pretty girls in order 10 take the
minds Of the auditors on the words and
music All this. Of course, means color life
and action, and all these the Princeton show
possesses in abundance. The music as a
whole is really melodic. the scenery Is pretty
and plentiful and life on the road has made
everything move so smoothly that the
Slow girls will ogle friends in the front rows.
Oh, well l-boys will be girls
Between acts one Of the corridors became
a sort Of green room where swarms Of the
show girls friends assembled to tell them
that they really would never have known
them. Enoores we're numerous, all the show
girls got stacks OF flowers and everybody
had the real good time attendant upon a
meritorious and instructive performance,
