Southern Girls In "Step
 Lively, Please"
THE annual play presented by the

'" HE annual play presented by the
 young ladies of Mrs. Daring
 \ ton Semple's school. in New York, attracted a large and brilliantly rep resentative audience to the Plaza a few. evenings ago. The proceeds, as usual, were devoted to the fund for free beds at the Polyclinic hospital, and at the entrace to the grand ballroom souvenir programmes and other souve- nirs were sold by bevy of pretty southern girls, among them Miss Ellen and Miss Emily Semple.
 The members of the cast included a number of girls well known in the south and among those who appeared in most interesting roles was Miss Emily Semple, whose charming ballads are very frequently heard in New York drawing rooms, and also Miss Alice Alexander, who has friends in Bir- mingham, where her grandfather, the late Gen. E. P. Alexander, lived for short time. He will be recalled as one of the greatest railroad geniuses in America
 The play was entitled Step Lively, Please.' and was presented under the personal direction of Henry J. Savers of operatic fame. Of the occasion, the New York Herald says in part:
 With the coming of the spring the young women of the Semple school let their thoughts turn to their annual play for charity and as amateur Thes- plans they presented at the Plaza hotel last night an original leap year musi- cal review called Step Lively, Please The title was quite prophetic. as the songs and dances of the young women in the three scenes had the big au- dience willing at any moment to get up and join them on the stage.
 Tt was a lively performance in both name and deed and fully carried out the intentions of the young women to chase away any kind of gloom. The young actresses played their parts with so much enjoyment the auditors simply had to forget spring levers and join in the laughter evoked by the auips and jests of the Don't Worry club and the Don't Worry minstrels.
 "The first scene represented card room of the club on a leap year after noon with the girls in costumes of red, white and blue discussing pre- paredness.
 Sentimental songs with dancing melodies were mingled with the argu 1 ments. Misses Rosemary Rollins and Florence
