The annual revue of the Mask and
Wig Club. comprising the students and
the alumni Of the University Of Penn
sylvania, is more elaborate. according
to their own claims, than anything that
they have ever attempted in the past.
Unlike former shows the revue does
not attempt to introduce anything that
might be mistaken for a plot. 1t is n
collection of playlets. each having its
own scenery and music written by n
student or alumnus of the University
and played by men and girls in the
ne plus ultra of costuming.
The dramatic portion of the sketch
is the joint production of Charles
Gilpin, chairman; Mr.. Morgan, Howard
Is. Mohr and W. Chattin Wctherill
who has been put in charge of the
stage properties. The sketch opens
with resume of the plays which have
been done in other years, in which the

the music of these skits. and what h,
lacks in the first he certainly makes
up in the last.
The songs in MY Garden Beautiful
