PLAYERS PERFORM TONIGHT
 AT WARNER HALL

There is much interest in the gos- sip of plays to be presented by Miss Grace Dalrymple Clarke and her tal- ented company, the Student Players tonight at SIS o'clock in Warner Hall. The many friends of the players will see them in parts which test their dramatic ability in no small measure, several of them playing two parts of wide contrast. In '"The Silent Voice. Miss Iva King makes her debut in dramatics as the youthful Lady Isabel sweet tho passionate, in "A Likely Story" she Is the Nelly Greenway pos sessing much good judgment and gen. tie dignity. From the cheery sympa- thetic Madame Ursula in "The Silent sharp and clever reporter in ''The Piper's Pay" Both Miss Booth and Miss Murphy have exceptional oppor- tunities for versatile work, Miss Mur- phy in "A Likely Story plays Mar garet Rice, vivacious and charming, quiet controlled intensity, the part of detective. MT. Bernard Brill also appears in two plays. In "The Silent Voice" as the serious Henry Osborne on his way to the wars and in "A Likely Story as Willis Campbell, a delightful tease. Miss Florence Jarvis sparkles as Mrs. Willis Campbell, Miss
 
 Bridgeport won by her excellent work in recitals here. Miss Veronica Dar- gan is another favortte and her acting of Mabel Dover" captivating comedy, will doubtless more firmly establish her in the good opinion of the public. Miss Clara Brill is still another charm ing comedienne but in "The Pipers Pay" as Freda she has a part of more stability and plays with a steadiness that we'll balances the excitable Peggy and Mabel. Miss Rae Sagan plays the austere Mrs. Hereford-Carr effective ly. Miss Marguerite Cheney as Katie is very winning. Another maid who laide Goodwin as Jane. Miss Kath- crime Hanscom as little Page is quite adorable. Miss Clarke and the Stu dent Players feel deeply indebted to MT. Harry Irwin for assuming the part of Arthur Yelling, his finished acting will add much to the pleasure of the gay little farce. In the matter Of ac- cessories, these plays will be present ed in a very complete manner. An i'm portant feature of the program will be the music provided by stringed orchestra under the direction of Les lie E. Vaughan.

Smith Rollins McKim after being seal ed until the return of summons, has been opened. If McKim does not make answer or formal appearance it will be ten days before the case can be heard. The complaint states that the couple were married in Baltimore in December, 1902; that there are no children. No property rights are in volved- No alimony is asked The complaint, which covers several pages of typewriter matter, embodies charges in detail of gross drunkenness and physical cruelty extending from June, 1903. less than six months after their marriage. to a year ago, when by the advice of her physician she was compelled to leave him in order to prevent being a physical and mental wreck.
