night in the auditorium. a musicale and
drama for the benefit Of the fund which
is to provide for the annual reception to

between curtains of the two-act drama,
THE Revenge of Shari-H ot-Su."
In the musicale the reading by Miss
Gladys Vansant, under the training Of Miss
katherine Rowley, was generously APP
plauded. The piano solo by Earl Sage was
another of the favorite numbers. Misses
Bernice and Eunice Conway rendered the
duet, "Oh That We Two Were Maying,'
by Nevln. Miss Olive Lehmer contributed
Chopin's "Valse." The first part OF the

The play is a simple sketch adorned by a
Japanese setting and deals with the love
affair of Kioto and Moigiufa, opposed by
an ambitious father who wants his daugh-
ter to wed the scholar, Shari-Hot-Su. The
humor of the play lies In the Quaint Eng
fish of the Japanese scholar and the effort
OF the elderly Mrs. Beaconstreet to use all
the big words In the dictionary.
Hird STRIKERS presentation of Kioto was
striking in that he is about twice the size
of an ordinary Jap. Earl Sage, as Shari-
Hot-Su, had the house with him In ap-
plause when he charged the motherly Mrs.
Beaconstreet with being stiff in the knees.
Agnes Fitzgerald took the part of Mrs.
Beaconstreet with credit.
The second scene of the play, a Japanese
garden. was worth mention OF itself. The
young dramatists made their own scenery,
in all ways quite up to the costumes and
the needs of the plot.
