ton class of 1914 presented
"The Dear Boy Graduates" a
comedy in four acts, to a large
and most appreciatlve audience
last evening at the Majestic

and praise for themselves and
much credit for the instructors
who trained them so we'll.
The play itself was very ap-
propriate for the occasion, por-
traying the life of an only boy
in a family of doting female
relatives at the most important
time in his career, his gradua-
t on. Each member in the cast
of characters is deserving of
special mention for the excel.
lent manner in which they pre-
sented their part.
This very good play is to be
repeated this evening at the
same theatre, the Majestic
Between acts and 2, Miss
Joy Dewell sang a solo very

the evening added to the en-
joyment of all.
