C]LLEGE BOYS
AT THE GARRICK
Have Night of Fun at Annual
Theatre Outing Before
Banquet

Thirty-eight Delaware College
freshmen, and few sophomores who
had gotten WISE" and twenty eight
members of the Windsor Club, added
interest to the fine bill performed at
the Garrick Theatre last. Both or
ganizations banquetted after the per-
formance at the Clayton House.
The Garrick was packed, and a
good number stood during the per-
formance. The students of good old
Delaware, who with the Windsor AS
sociation, occupied front seats, were
the first number on the program,
standing and singing their college
song with tuneful good will, and Civ
ing the college yell, somewhat less
tunefully but with even more good
Will, and they were rewarded with
hearty applause. THIS is an annual
affair on the part Of the Delaware
freshmen, and the actors were ready
with local college jokes which made
a hit with the students.
Miss Margaret Pitt and her COM
pany were taken into immediate fav-
or by the Delaware students. when
she appeared with a Knot of the blue
"Tillie,' Miss Lillian Field, hung up
Delaware pennants in the Dearborn
apartments. Miss Pitt was at her
best last night. She played with
dramatic strength and fine elocution;
her beauty of voice, and graceful,
charming personality making her
such a favorite with the audience that
curtain calls were repeatedly given
Miss Field is exceedingly clever, and
her hobble skirt and inimitable Swed-
ish accent took" with the Delaware
and Windsor Club men. Mr.. Klaw-
ans played the part of the husband
very acceptably.
Miss Pitt will be at the Garrick in
a new sketch next week. In this she
will be assisted by Miss Field and by
Mr.. Gibbs, who was a favorite actor
with the Avenue Theatre Company
the first part of the season. MISS
Pitts friends presented her with a
bouquet Of red carnations yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. John Ince, the mother of John
lnce who was leading man at the
Garrick the early part Of the season.
is the guest of Miss Pitt this week.
Mrs Ince is an actress of thirty-five
years experience, and is still acting.
She is here rehearsing a sketch. Mrs.
Ince is a woman of charming person.
ality. None of her own many successes
please her so much as the many
praises she has heard concerning her
son from those who saw him play at
the Avenue.
"In Sixty-five" made a hit, and
Eddie Barto and Florence Clark kept
the audience in a gale of laughter
every minute. "Swat Milligan," was
also one Of the best numbers Of the
evening; the plot is nothing, but the
impersonations done by Babe McVay,
Johnnie German and Charles Ken
nedy, are marvelously good. Mona
Mine was very dainty and awfully
pretty. Cunningham and Marion gave
lively and laugh-provoking stunt
Belle Onra and Maud Lillian Berri
were also clever in their acts.
Il is one Of the best programs the
Garrick has offered this season.
