all that could be desired. Her
show of Indignation at being ex-
posed by the Imp, was indeed, full
of realism, and finally when she
found she was really cornered,
she submitted to the wishes of
lawyer Preston and gracefully re-
tired from the scene without suf-
fering the indignity of going to
iail as Imp had wished she would.
Miss Jane Tucker as Jane, a maid
with taste for literature, brought
forth roars of laughter from the
audience as she mumbled passage
after passage from the ''high-
classed" literature she had been
in the habit of reading. She
scared Hawkins" the butler
stiff as she recited the blood cur
ding quotations Of a dime novel
and finally chased him all over
the stage, closing with shrielzs of
a the knife, " the knife as
she disappeared. Her makeup
was excellent and she played her
part to perfection. In the second
Act she appeared again as Mrs.
Brown, step-mother Of Douglas
Brown and together with Louise
Ross as her accomplice, planIed
the robbing Of the safe so thai
she might benefit by the destruc-
ton of a second will. In both
parts, Miss Tucker made hit
and proved her talent as an anna
tenr. Emmett O'Neill as Jack
Austin Preston's secretary, was
induced by Louise Ross disguised
as Marion Dayton, to to assist her
in opening the safe, which was ac-
complished without much trouble
when she suddenly left him to set
thing in order before closing it |

the mistake was finally discovered
and the guilty party exposed.
He made a good secretary and
played his part well. Emily Eli
oft, a girl with a conscience, was
played by Miss Ora Swami whose
conscience was first and foremost
in all her doings and she carried
the role in every detail and in
fine style. Miss Myrtle Melon
aid as Elsa Ernest, Marjorie Tur-
yer as Marjorie Arnold, Myrtle
Gibson as Marie Swift and Elsie
Tye as Polly Price, all Of the
Theta Phi, were excellent in the
parts in which they played, and
cut up some lively capers as a
bunch Of college girls surely
would under such circumstances,
Kathleen Knox, chairman of the
committee, was taken by
Miss Florence Poole and her du-
ties were carried out, in every
detail, with a style worthy Of
great praise as she handled the
college girls affairs as though
she meant it.
These four highly esteemed young
college girls were full of fun and
frolic from start to finish and
added much to the whole which
was one Of the best local talent
ever staged here.
The College songs which were
rendered during the performance
were full of life and go. The
of the musical portion
must go to Professor Caldwell
who was untiring in his energy
when it came to whipping them
into shape. The music Of his
Mandolin Club and the piano Sc
lectiOns which were given by him
self and his pupils were received
with loud applause from all and
added life to the usual monotony
Of the long waits between acts. J,
The performance opened with
a pretty little song sung by Miss
Demerse Morton, the curtain ris-
ing and the whole company sing
mo the chorus.
