HAVERFORD BOYS
IN A ''BIG MATCH

As Professors Grave and Bland of
Haverford would remark. last nights
production Of "The Big Match" by the
Haverford Musical Association under
the auspices of Friends School Alumni
at the New-Century Club was an in
evtably elegant occasion Of omores-
cent joy.
In addition to It's dramatic interest.
the play was one of the most pleas
ing social events of the season. The
auditorium and balcony were filed
with friends and alumni Of Haverford
and of Friends School, and after the
performance the seats were cleared
away, and part of the evening was
given to dancing. The decorations were
blue and white bunting and Friends
School flags, intersporsed with the seal
Of Haverford.
There We're two scenes. England and
Haverford campus. The costumes were
well arranged for ensemble effects.
Lady Evelyn, J. Whitau, 10. was
watched with great interest. She was
an awful flirt even making eyes at the
stately president Of Haverford, ID. G..
Murray ~. The captains Of the Hav-
erford cricket team, c. A. Haines. 10.
and of the English team, r. Townsend.
10 divided honors for good looks and
voices. Lord Heathcoate, w. c. Sandt.
was a ripping good fellow.
The Havorford professors kept the
audience convulsed with laughter. J..
Patrick and K Rhoad exhibited a flu
ency Of language that was astonishing.
Altogether, the big Match" was a
"superlative good match" The words
and music. written by c. Linn Seller
were catchy and tuneful, and prac-
tically every chorus and solo in the
play was encored. my Lady Nico-
tine" Charity. and 1T Will DO Yor
a World of Good" were called fol
several times apiece. The voices o.
the club are pleasing. though a Httl,
more volume would greatly improv,
the effect of the operetta, as woul,
more confidence on the part Of solo
lists.
The final tableau, with the singer
massed in front of the American, Brt
ish and Haverford flags. and singing

a striking finale.
