BROKEN CHINA
MISSIONARY PLAY
W. |. c. Girls Of Baptist Church Stage
Play at the Library Club Rooms
on Monday Evening
MRS. JENSEN MoTHER.IN.LAW
Mrs. Harry. Carpenter in Charge Of
Play and Instructed Actors in
Very Capable Manner

Broken China, a very effective
missionary play was given at the IL
brary on Monday evening by the w.
| l.. C. girls of the Baptist church. This
organization is a chapter of the world
wide guild, and is composed of the
young ladies of the church. The play
represented the heather customs in
China and the great change brought
about by the influence of the Ameri-
can mission schools. 49,.
| Mrs. Florence Locke Jensen took
the difficult part of the mother-in-law
and ably carried out the ugliness Of
that well-known character. Miss Hilda
Anderson acted the part of the son
and bridegroom, while Miss Matte
Beaumont was the modest little bride.
The play opened with Miss Louisa
Jones, a friend of the mother-in-law
making call at the home. As they
are discussing the marriage Of the
son, the wedding party arrives, the
bride in an artistic sedan chair borne
by coolies, and preceded by Dorothy
Carpenter playing cymbals. The tim
i'd little bride is lifted from the chair
and held over the fire to brighten
away the evil spirits and then brought
into the presence of her mother-in-
law for inspection. No compliments
are given her but very severe criti-
cisms are imposed and the poor little
girl is subjected to all manner OF in
dignities at the hands of this heather
woman. Tie next scene represents
conditions two years later, when the
gods have sent the poor little woman
a baby girl, whom she is "fool"
enough to love. This being the
heighth of evil in a Chinese woman,
the baby is sold by the designing hus-
band and mother-in-law Crazed by
the loss of her baby, the mother goes
at midnight to the idol which stands
before the ancestral tablets and begs
for the return of her baby. On receiv-
ing no response, her faith in the idol
is shaken and in her frenzy she dash
es it to pieces. For this terrible crime
she is divorced and driven from home.
She seeks refuge in mission school,
and is later, sent to America to finish
her education. The play closes with
an address, given by her, before
large American audience. just before
she returns to China to join her hus-
band, who has since been converted

the mems chorus rendered several Sc

MAPLEToN DEFEATS DENIsoN
Second Girls Basket Ball Game Of the
Season Staged Friday Evening
With Mapleton High School

The second girls basket gall game
of the season was staged Friday eve
ming with the girls of the Mapleton
high school. The game was series
of thrilling events from start to fin.
ish. The splendid team work of the
DenisOn team was noticeable from the
very first and the ball remained in
the Denison territory the greater part
of the time. But to the displeasure of
| the local boosters, as we'll as to the
embarrassment of the Denison team,
luck and fortune seemed to be with
the visiting athletes. Many ball
rolled around the iron rim and topp-
led off without scoring.
The girls played a defensive game
throughout as was shown by the COM
paratively small score. Ruth Wib-
lishouser, the, Denison center, out
jumped and out-witted the Mapleton
center at every turn.
Bell Hedrick, the speedy forward
on the Mapleton team, displayed eX-
ceptional skill in caging the ball and
according to the final record, succeed
ed in scoring - of the II points for
her team.
Unfortunately, the playing of the
Denison forwards did not come up to
the pace set in the Manning game the
previous week. The guards of the
home team did stellar work, in spite
of the fact the final score stood II to
6 in favor of the visiting team.
Splendid music was furnished be-
tween halves by the high school band
and an exciting preliminary game was
played by the boys of the freshman
and sophomore classes. The Freshies
won with a. to 8 score. .'- 81. ~
The girls Of the Denison team are
deserving of few words of praise, re-
gardless of their recent defeat This
is the first season of basket ball for
most OF the girls on the team and
none of the player shave had an OPP
portunity to participate in interscho-
lastic games before. .3tns,5 sii = 1f,.t
