the Sacred Heart convent to see "a
Professors Dilemma" played by the
dramatic club of the alumni associa-
ton. Seldom have local thespians
chosen a more suitable vehicle for
their talents. The piece is one that
would bring smiles to the visage Of
the Sphinx. Many creditable perfor-
mances have been given by the alum
nj association in the past, but last
Thursday evenings entertainment out
classed all previous efforts. Perhaps
never In the history of amateur theat.
ricals in this city has the audience
been so completely convulsed with
laughter as over the levity -incitine
