One of the best which the Dramatic
Club of Cornell University has ever
given was the production last night of
The Butterflies in Kruger Audito-
rum, presented under the auspices of
the Cornell Alumni, of Newark. The
play is a society comedy in three acts
by Henry Guy Carleton. and calls for
several feminine roles. Those in the
cast covered themselves with glory last
night and received the hearty support
of their many friends n classmates
in h audience.
The BUTTERFLIES deals principally
with the love affairs of Miriam Stuart
Dodge and an admirer. Frederic Ossian.
Miriam's mother, Mrs. Stuart-Dodge, is
constantly placing obstacles in the way
of the young persons by arranging to
have her daughter" marry a million
aire. She forces Miriam to say yes
to n sutton and meanwhile to keep
another on h string in case the first
one should fall.
That a "hobble" skirt may be man
aged by n not of the air sex was
cleverly demonstrated last night by
Suzanne" Hiram Green's daughter,
H. K. Walter; Mrs. Beverly Stuart
Dodge, Harry Sonnefeld; Mrs. Ossian,'
R. D. Speaker, and Miriam Stuart
Dodge" e. P. Williams. The gowns
worn by the women were fetching
creations of silk chiffon and lace of
delicate hues, with prevailing clinging
effects and chapeaux that were visions
of loveliness. The decollete gowns dis
played the fair white necks and arms
of the wearers.
