Mrs. Eleanor Casey Schmitz, of the
Alumnae and Honorary Member of
Dramatic Club, Makes Interesting
Contribution to the Program.

The Kemper Hall Dramatic Club
made it's initial appearance for the
year Saturday night when it presented
its members in dracatic sketches and
tableau in Simmons Hall, proving
that the club is something more than a
titled organization.
Perhaps a big factor in the wonder
full success of the evening, the sketch,
Beauty and the Jacobin, +" was the
superior talent of Mrs. Eleanor Casey
Schmitz, an honorary member of the
society, who so generously consented
to take the lead.
Mrs. Schmitz has on many occasions
before her marriage displayed her re-
markable dramatic ability before Ke-
nosha audiences, and her name on the
program is always drawing card.
Saturday evening, her part, that of the
good samaritan in the French age of
revolutions and guillotines afforded
her the opportunity Of displaying her
wonderful dramatic powers, which she
did in way that could hardly be
called amateurish. Her deep contagious
laughter kept the audience in contin-
ual merriment.
The cast for the sketch was we'll
chosen, each member playing her part
splendidly. The costumes, which were
procured in Chicago and Milwaukee
Theatrical costume houses, were unus-
ually beautiful and did much to carry
the audience back to the Reign of
Terror
An especially attractive number of
the program was the Statue posing.
Seven Grecian maidens, looking more
like nymphs than mortals, stepped
lightly and held remarkably well poses,
(each a different one), to the lovely
measures of LIT g Widnung. For this
number and the sketches, Miss Laura
Schreve, head Of the Kemper Hall
Dramatic Department deserves honor
airy mention. Much credit is due her
for her able direction of the work.

with loss of life will probably continue
