LITTLE FALLS HIGH SCHOOL
DRAMATIC CLUB WILL PUT ON
''T0MMY'S WIFE, THIS AF-
! TERNOON AND EVENING
(By Sydney S. D. Kaye)
Orchestra, Boys Quartet and Girls
G1aa H1u1

composed OF nVe VlOIns, piano, cor
net and one trombone, is progressing
marvelously. They have taken seven
lessons thus far and are doing splen-
did work under the direction of Prof.
William Bastien, the we'll known music
director and leader of the Little Falls
band. AS a proof Of their progress
they are going to make their first pub
lie appearance Friday afternoon and
evening in connection with the drama
tic club. The orchestra will be COM
plete as soon as clarinet and a cello
are added to it. Then watch them.
The boys double quartet is also do
ing splendid work and the boys are to
be commended on their determination
to make good. Miss Hart, their direc-
tor, has had considerable experience in
musical organizations, and says that
she is very well pleased with the way
in which the boys take hold of things
and that she is sure they will turn
out to be a source of musical entertain
ment for the city of Little Falls. They
also expect to appear for the first time
Friday afternoon and evening in the
high school auditorium.
The Girls Glee c1uD, though ANA
teurs, certainly do rot appear to be
such. It is hardly possible to explain
how wonderfully well they have pro-
gressed. It can not be appreciated
enough until it is heard. Miss Lycan
said that she could see musical talent
in Little Falls high school when he
came here last year and this talent
surely has been developed under her
able direction. It would be we'll, in
order to get a better idea Of their
ability, to be present Friday evening
lat the high school.
Dramatic Club
The members who are taking part
in the play, "Tommy's Wife, which
is to be given tonight have put in
much hard practice during the past
two weeks and it is their intention to
stage play in less time than a play
has ever been staged with as much
talent as has ever been shown in Lit
tie Falls high school. As has been
stated before, the members who are
taking part are suited entirely to their
particular parts and only wish to
have a full house in order that they
might show Their talent. Thev do lot
wish to keep the community in sus-
pense and so are going to give it at
once. and do not wish to dissappoint
2e"ple, as has been the custom in the
!. na@t, Remember the date, December
1914. Following is the cast of

This play deals with an artist, Mr..
Thomas Carothers, who, as yet has not
been proclaimed famous. A very
wealthy society lady becomes interest
ed in him. She wishes to have her
daughters portrait painted by him.
He is an unmarried man and this foct
! worries her very mach. She is afraid
that her daughter will fall in love with
him and so she devises a plan, in
which he is to appear as being mar
ried, his sister Rose to be his sup
posed wife. He falls in love with
a girl who attends the dramatic school
and is caught painting her picture y
Mrs. De Yorburgh Smiths daughter.
In the meantime Dick is in love with
Rose, as is also a Frenchman, DeBou-
ton. It gets to be very mixed up
affair, when a note from Mrs. De-
vorburgh Smith to Tom is read aloud
+ in the presence of all concerned in the
quarrel, which clears Tom Of his trou-
hle. and in turn causes q very bright
! ending.
! While this play is very humorous in
parts, still it is not too humorous.
Some plays are so nonsensical that
they are absurd. This one, however, is
not of that type.

The oeometric Club
The debate that was held Thursday,
Dec. 3rd, was very interesting from
beginning to end. The debate was:
Resolved, That Geometry is of
More Benefit to the Student than
Algebra
The affirmative side won. No ac-
count Of points was taken as this was
the first debate held, so the decision
was made by q general review Of the
points brought out. The debaters were:
Alternatives, Lawrence Cook, Madeline
|eimonet, Sydney kaye. Negative,
Harry Dobbyn, Clara Gierok, Isabel
Hughes.
! Some very good arguments were
brought out by both sides and the fu-
ture of the club looks very promising.

Edith Tanner and Hazel Fa1k.
Mr.. Zipoy gave talk on tsThe
value of such club and che essen
