mt least correct in It's authorship. If
we attempt to put on a pl1y writ
ten by an amateur author, as most
of the so-called high school plays
are, we will have all the author's
shortcomings to overcome before we
can produce anything worth while.

is well written, by man Tint knows
how?" Mr.. w. j. Elson, who is nj

good fortune to see the play produc-
ed by the original cast at n Phila-
