lately in well known newspaper.
A paragraph read as follows:
Some time ago a fiat in a not I'M
fashionable quarter of the city was
let unfinished to 10 ants, who
offered and paid a months rent in
advance"
The explanation of this slip is
almost as amusing as the misprint
itself. 1t is rigid rule of some
printing Offices that, while num-
bers below ten are spelled in full,
all numbers higher must be in fig
ures, to save space. 1t is, there
fore, really very difficult for a

The Columbia Theater will be the

mirers OF Princeton's Yellow and
Black. The Triangle Club, famous in
the annals of the university. will, on
that night, give to Washington its
annual production of musical plays.
"The Duchess of Bluffshire"
The musical comedy was well re-
ceived in Princeton. and began it's
road tour before an audience that
completely filled the spacious assem-
bly, room of the Waldorf Astoria in
New York. According TO reports, the
piece is well acted. tunefully sung.
and elaborately mounted. and presents
every one OF the seventy-hve performers
to the very best advantage.
Frank L. Cunningham, 1909. Of New
York city, collaborated with Frederick
w. Birkenhauer. 1910. in writing the
book for the play. They dramatized it
and. with the aid of a professional
coach. Eugene Sanger of New York
city. the Triangle Club has now a most
entertaining show. Cunningham IS "the
leading lady of the play and his cock
ney accent in the role Of "Jane Bartler,
an English maid-in-waiting," is both
unique and amusing. Cunningham is
president of the Triangle Club. Last
year he was an irate am bassador from
the Netherlands in the Revolutionary
farce comedy, when Congress Went to
Princeton
Versatility Is a prime characteristic
OF members OF the Triangle Club D. =.
