Miss Elizabeth Gertrude Ryan,
| teacher of elocution and dramatic art
at the SCHOOL scored great success
on Tuesday evening when the students
of her department gave a feproduc-
ton of the "Iphigenia in Taurica by
Euripides. The production was by al
measures the best ever given by the
dramatic club and it won high praise
from an audience which completely
filed the big gymnasium. The play
had been arranged from the original
Greek by Miss Ryan and the adapta-
ton was not the least of the delights
of the evening There was charming in
cidental music and the settings were
such as to bring out to its fullest the
beauties Of the Greek play Miss
Marion Jones, who had the part of
| Iphigenia, was constant delight.
She sang in rare voice and her acting
was so artistic that it would have been
worthy of grand opera setting. She
divided the honors Of the evening with
Miss Alexandra Mcneil of Chica-
go, who took the part of Orestes. The
Echorus was a big feature in the success
Of the production and the ensemble
was unusually fine.
