| Robertina," by the Langdon Jewett
Stock Co. This comedietta led to
, an embarrassing mix-up in bags
following railroad accident in which
Langdon Jewett, as Robert Aspen, an
English cousin. got the belongings Of
| Aunt Robertina tGertrude Samp-
| sony and he appeared in her coat
and hat while she likewise appeared
| in his outer raiment. This predica-
ment formed a plot in which a
. wicked looking tramp successfully
| portrayed by Mylon Jacobs, played
| a prominent role, having stole the
English cousins" clothes. But all
ended well and the maid and man
servant, Ella Flanders and Leland
Currier. seemed happy as the cur
tain rolled down. Other players in
this number were Fred Chase as Mr..
Aspen, retired merchant, and Caro-
line Cover, as Gladys. his daughter.
Probably no act was. more popu
lar for the evening than was the
fourth try-out.. which was in the
form Of n garden party. Langdon
Jewett proved himself genuine
commediene in the song number.
Follow the Girls Around" which he
gave. assisted by a bevy Of pretty
misses in handsome party dresses. all
the girls in the class appearing in
this song and dance number. The
last number was also Of the same
scene with the girls present but was
a musical match, the song numbers
being given by two popular vocal
lists which the class is so fortunate
as to include in its membership, To-
vina Murray appearing as Anita Du-
Pont and Raymond Lacasce as Reg
inald Dupont.
Between acts excellent orchestral
selections were given by an orches-
ira directed by J. Abbott Kendall
Accompanies were Mrs. r. L. Mars
ton and Miss Ella NJ. Flanders. The

cning number took seats in the body
