.MATINEES
AT COLLEGE
WEDNESDAY

Promptly at four O'Clock Wednes-
day afternoon March IL, the curtain
will rise on the first matinee of the
Little Theater" season at. the Okla
homa College for Women
This announcement is always look
ed forward to by the theater lovers
OF Chickasha Those who have en-
joyed the matinees of the past years
and the initial performance Of the
Little theater players last month in
"A Maker of Dreams" and Sup
pressed Desires" realize the pleasure
Of anticipation of the coming season
and appreciate the educational op-
portunity offered the students and
people of Chickasha in the concrete
presentation of these one-act plays
from the pens of the greatest dra-
matists. The plays selected for the
first matinee are THE End of the
Way" by Evelyn Greenleaf Suther-
land, and "A Night at an Inn" by
Lord Dunsany.
Lord Dunsany is considered by the
best dramatic critics, the most impor-
tant dramatist now using the Eng
lish language. He is a keen cricket.
er good horseman, and a staunch
romantic imperalist with centuries
of tradition behind him. His success
as a playwright is so pronounced
that there is probably not now a COM
, mercial producer in the city of New
York with eye to business SO blurred
/ that he would probably not pay a
pretty sum for the exclusive rights
in a new Dunsany manuscript.
The Literary Digest says of ga
Night at an Inn" "You cannot con-
ceive of the extraction from any
thirty minutes performance Of more
sheer theatric force than flows quite
naturally and spontaneously from A
Night at an Inn Anybody can en-
joy it who can enjoy movie thriller
consequently everybody does enjoy
it," ''"%'7
THE End of the Way" permeated
with the atmosphere of ancestral
England and the Sherwood Forest Of
Robin Hood is a gem of dramatic o.
ferings.
