"ROMANCE."

Romance" will be presented on Jan.
LIST at Memorial Building in the form
of a dramatic Interpretation by Nine.
Labadie under the auspices Of Green
wood Lodge B. P. o. Elks.
The plays in Nine. Labadie's re-
portoire are by European dramatists
whose works have set the standard
Of the modern drama.
This year she has included "Rom.
ance" as being a representative Amer
lean play by n of the younger Amer
lean dramatists who are shaping the
future history of the American stage.
When Romance" was produced in
New York City in 1918 it ran for ov-
er a year, and its universal appeal is
emphazized by the fact that it has
been running in London, during war
time for more than 400 nights.
1t is especially appropriate at this
time in that 1917 is the year set by
the Drama League as American
Drama Year and it's local centres
throughout the country are taking up
study of the plays and the history
Of the American stage through var
ious mediums.
