College Boys in "Just out Of College,"


George AIDES Just Out of College,
was presented Friday evening at The
Strong theatre by the Wig and Buskin
Club OF the University Of Vermont be-
fore a large and enthusiastic audience.
The play has all George AIDES felicity
OF humor and his faculty of keen OBJ
servation. Like The College widow
1t has some capitally amusing scenes
infinitely worked out. The story is OF
Il young man who applies to the father
of a girl for her hand. He confesses
he is unable to support her. The faith
er finally gives him $50, 900 and tells
him to prove himself a business man
before presenting himself again. With
this money the young man forms a
partnership with a business woman
and is finally bought out by the father
himself. OF course the clever young
man wins the girl. This fabric is dec
Grated with a liberal supply Of George
Adeism, and the audience last evening
was entertained.

tai as Edward Worthington Swinger,
the smooth, much-troubled young man.

neat performance. w. p. Leutze, 10,
