WIN WARMERS ABOUT the country SIDE,
signing for her lover, Erestus, who has
been changed from youth to a strange
being assuming the form of an old
mar during the day and an ugly bear
at night. United with these two stories
is one relating to the old man, Lam
priscus, who has two unmarried daugh-
ters, Zantippa and Celanta, whom he
wishes to find husbands for. The hus-
bands appear in the persons of two
wild young scamps, Huanebango and
Corebus. The tangled fortunes of the
several characters are Strengthened out
by kind act on the part of Eumenides,
the lover of Della. The sexton and
churchwarde have refused to bury
Jack, popular but poor country fell
low. Eumenides interrupts a quarrel
which takes place between the church.
warden and Wiggen, a friend of Jacks,
regarding the merits of the case.
Eumenides pays the troublesome fee
and the churchwarden consents to the
burial of Jack. For this favor the
ghost of Jack returns and frees the
many characters from the charm of
Sacrapant.
The business of the play was very
important part of the production and
great credit is due to Assistant Profess
sor Cady, who produced the play for
the English department. The rich
costumes, the telling light effects, the
song and dances by the fairies, all these
unite to make the play one possessing
a charm that increases in population as
one knows the meaning of the various
tales which unite to make it up.
Edwin S. S. Sunderland had the diff
ficult part of Sacrapant and acted the
role of sorceror to perfection. Herbert
A. Burnham, as Erestus, had the part
of the old friar and his work was very
commendable. j. Gordon Peach, as
Huanebango, wild fellow, received
merited applaus at each appearance.
Miss Mable L. Agnew interpreted the
character of Zantippa, the willful
daughter of Lamprscus in a very tel
ling manner. Miss Margaret French,
as Madge, Clunch's wife, Walter H.
Cleary, as Clunch, performed their
parts well. Harold S. Tuck appeared
as Jack the ghost, and showed much
dramatic ability.
The music which had been in charge
of Mrs. w. E. Howard was most de-
lightful and did not little in the build
ing up of a necessary atmosphere. The
dancing was very delightful and the
credit for this is due to Miss Isabel
Stevens. THE Old Wives Tale" was
arranged for the production by Assist
ant Professor of English Frank N.
Cady.
