FRENCH PLAYS AT PEARSONS.

FRENCH PLAYS AT PEARSONS.
The students of the French school
brought their work to a most delight
full close in two entertaining little French
plays presented in the social hall at
Pearsons on Wednesday evening before
highly appreciative audience of Sum-
mer Session students and invited
guests, The plays were the second
scene of the third act of Molere's Les
Femmes Savants, and act one Of
Rostands comedy, Les Rtmanesques.
Costumes were procured from Boston,
the makeup of the players was most
skillfully and artistically wrought, and
a beautiful setting was provided for the
plays at the west end of the social hall,
by the judicious use of curtains, screens,
and decorations from the greenwood.
The pleasure of the audience was greatly
enhanced by the sympathetic rendering
which Professor de Visme gave to the
little French songs which he sang as an
interlude, and by the minuet from
Mozart danced by the players in cos
tune at the close of the little comedy.
All members of the cast took their
parts with a dash which kept the
audience on the alert every moment.
Mile. Therese Saunier presented very
charming prologue, The cast of the
play was as follows:

SUMMER SESSION CONCERT,
Delightful Musicale Given by
Students at Close Of Session.

Students at Close Of Session,
Following the usual custom, the
musicaly inclined members of the
Summer Session brought their indlyid-
ual and combined efforts to public at
tenton in a very attractive concert
program on Tuesday evening, the 18th,
at Music hall. This event has Gus
tomarily been open to all students of
the Session and their friends and towns
people without charge; but this year
the idea was conceived of making the
event benefit tor the sufferers from
the war in northern Francs. The oppor-
tunity to pay this delicate tribute to
Professors de Visme and Jeanrenaud,
who came from France to aid in the
establishment of French school at
Middlebury, elected generous response
both from the patrons Of the Summer
Session and the townspeople. A splendid
concert was enjoyed, and a sum of over
$25 was received which can be devoted
to relief work.
The concert was an evidence of Miss
IIaydens remarkable skill in develop
ing individual voices and in bringing to-
gether variety of talent in a consist
ent, dignifed and pleasing program.
Miss Monroe and Miss Flint have won
many admirers by the charm and sin
cerity of their singing on several oc-
casions during the session, and these
who heard them year ago could not
fail to note the development which a
year has brought to their voices. Miss
Lott is a favorite with all Summer
Session audiences and she fully sustained
her reputation. The choral work was
perhaps the severest test of Miss
Hayden's powers, for it is no easy mat
ter to bring well balanced chorus out
of varied material in few rehearsals;
but the chorus from Verdi was worthy
close for program in which every
number had been surprise and delight

much enjoyment to his many friends

dramatic powers to those who had

Your Hair as
an Actress Does

No class of people devotes as
much time to beauty as do act
resses, and naturally no class
must be more careful to retain
and develop their charms. Inquiry
among them develops the infor-
nation that in hair care they find
it dangerous to shampoo with any
makeshift hair cleanser. instead
they have studied to find the fin
est preparation made for sham
pooling and bringing out the
beauty of the hair. The majority
OF them say that to enjoy the best
hair wash and scalp stimulator
that is known, get a package of
canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonful in a cup of
hot water and your shampoo is
ready. 1t costs less than three
cents for this amount. After it's
use the hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear. Your hair will
be so fluffy that 1t will look much
heavier than 1t is. It's lustre and
softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.
