the event took place Friday cvc!ino
in Music Hall. Sickness caused t,t
canccllin% Of the Glcc CMl numbers
and ONE sub ti,utcs in the c;.u q.
characters, and Il ic,.' othct' inevitable
accidents handicapped the pnrfo. Nlc,-
but on the whole the play was fine

I'll pual'rels forgotten.
But the characters ia TIC play
were the enjoyment Of the audience,
and kept them in u gale OF. lauphtcj'
from start to finish. 2lr. Barrett and
Mr.. Adams took the part; OF Colon
els Rudd and Byrd. and their quar-
rcls and tempestuouS RACES were very
laughable. Ching, the Chinese ser
want, played by Raymond Bullock.
was the star of the evening in his
line, and played bis part to perf2c-
ton. Howard johnson, as the hero,
was most convincing and very easy in
his part, and his absent minded
friend, Ned Graydon, played by Earl
Densmorc was equally good.
But the ladies were the cne.; who
fairly swept the audience off Their
feet, and if you have never seen fem
mime parts played by fairly good
sized boys, not altogether at case,
and with well-dcveloped bass voices,
you have an experience yet to anti
cipate. Wheeler Davis as the heroine,
Marjorie Byrd, Roy Cunningham as
Mrs. Carroll, and Ned Jossclyn as
Julia Carroll were so attractive in
their various ways that their hearers
could not keep their eyes from them.
Their make-ups were excellent, and
if there was Il lack of spontancity in
their love making, Ill remembered
that amateur love-makin% is difficult
at best and especially so when both
participants arc boys. However, they
all did we'll, and it was Il most sue,
ccssful entertainment. Bet Wccn the
acts Mss Kathleen Lcl,aron delighted
the audience hv her songs, sto4i>s,
ukelelc playing and child impc,atnA-
tons. She is especially good in the
latter, having studied child voices
and manners until she can initiate
them to perfection. After the play all
who wished stayed and enjoyed dane
ing for Il few hours.
Mrs. Charles Hastings has been ono
of the victims of the prevailing di,-
temper for the past few days.
Miss Blanche Conner has been II,
and confined to her bed FOR the past
week with 'Ho grip.
Fifteen Of the Senior boy from
Lyndon Institute went to Burlington

Seaver conducted tho party, and they
were entertained at the different fra
ternity houses. They attended the
Kakc Walk and the dance following,
were shown about the city and the
college buildings, and given Il royal
good time. They returned Saturday,
speaking very highly Of the hosptali-
ty shcV'H them.
Mr.. Guyda Comerford is on the
sick lis fni few days, and unable to
be at her work in the Edmunds drug
store.
Glen~ Pearl. -''''o has been quite
with the grip for the past ten days,
