one OF the pleasing features of this

playlet is a Partisan production, The
DOLL and it will be presented as a
part of the program to be given by

The scenes of The Doll" are laid
in the shop of an old Dutch toy max
er. The toy-maker, a superstitious
old codger. is making a life-sized
doll which he proposes to bring to
life with the aid OF a magic book.
He is making the doll as a wife for
his son on the theory that the only
way to get a perfect wife is to make
n to order. He is disappointed
in this, however, as the disposition of
the doll wife turns out to be far from
ideal. 1t is said to be humorous in
the extreme and the music of the
play is declared to be especially
charming. Special scenery is ar
ried by the Oxford company and the
setting is said to be most realistic.

qua System declare that the Oxford
