o play by Jerome N Jerome. the
we'll known author. The play
vas well chosen. as il is not be-
yond the artistic ability Of anna
teurs. and lends itself well TO the
limitations Of staging. which
must always be considered in
choosing a play for production
at the college.
Jerome X. Jerome has done no
more pleasing work than this
play; bright and sparkling as the
best of French comedy, and with
a touch Of seriousness all its own.
Miss Loula Jones, in the title
role, was extremely effective. If
the part had been created for
her, it could scarcely have been
better suited to her type and
temperament, and she played it
from beginning to end with a
dash and spirit. which captiyated
the audience
