CHEvIoT CLUB PRESENTS mid
SUMMER NIGHTS DREAM"
Chevy Chase College Students Essay
Masculine Roles in Feminine At
tire-Creditable Performance.

Amateur dramatics as a rule. are sell
dom interesting to any save the families
of the young hopefuls who essay un-
speakable things and usually wind up by
being funereally prosaic and ordinary.
Occasionally there are exceptions. ana
strikingly agreeable one was presented
at the Columbia Theater last night by
Young ladies of the Chevy Chase College
and Seminary, who presented MID
summer Nights Dream.
In the hands of a cast composed en-
tirely of college girls, without even tho
accessory of the male sarb where mems
clothes seem indispensable, the young
women of the Cheviot Club. as they call
themselves, gave a creditable perform
ance.
There were times when the deeper voice
and appropriate raiment of the men were
missed. Yet the young women VINO Ia
bored under the temporary disadvantage
of sex gave evidence of ability.
This was true of Miss Eugenla Coppee'
in whose keeping the character of Peter
Ounce carpenter and playwright, was
intrusted; Miss Louise Kelley. as NICK
Bottom; Miss Irene Shetzllne and MISS
Celeste We'll, as Lysander and Demetrlus.

Miss Marguerite Shelley as Hernia;
Miss Abba Cooper, as Helena; Miss Mary

PRIVATE SANFORD PROMOTED.
Important Changes to Be Made In
the Police Force.

Acting upon the recommendation OF
Mai. Sylvester superintendent of police,
the Commissioners have promoted Police
man William r. Sanford of the first pre-
einct to the position of sergeant made
vacant by the promotion Of Sergt. Har-
rison. Sanford has been a member OF the

much Of his duty In the first precinct His
training has been such. Mai. Sylvester
says, that he is regarded as capable
and efficient officer. Maj. Sylvester said
made In the near future and he expects
10 make important changes in the assign
ment OF members of his force.
II IL probable that the inspectors who
now perform most of their duty at head
quarters will hereafter do duty about
the city In the precincts. The shifting of
these men, II is thought, will be followed
by the detailing Of men from the ranks
at headquarters. In this way Mai Syl-
vester says. he will always have men VINO
are familiar with the more important
duties OF the department in line for pro-
motions.
Maj. Sylvester said today that he had
not fully determined just who is to take
charge of the detective ONCE at night, In
place Of Capt. Peck. who is to take com
mand of the second precinct. Lieut..
Duvall. whose name was mentioned for
the position. will probably remain at the
0ftn precinct IOr the present, ana 1t iS
probable that Lieut. James Hartley OF
the second precinct. will be transferred
to the important position at headquarters.
Lieut.. Hartley was in charge OF the
night service at the first precinct several
years and Is thoroughly familiar with the
work at headquarters. He has not been
In the best health during the past year
