Ing room greeted the Second perfor-
nance of Kathleen the John b,
Rogers musical comedy presented
last night in the Majestic theatre
under the auspices of the Girls Club.
Having profited by the first nights
experience the members of the cast
seemed to feel perfectly at home on
the stage and showed no trace oil
self consciousness. Any little flaws
that might have been evidenced at
the initial performance had disap-

was presented with the precision
of clock work. Choruses, solos,
duets, dancing and hearty good hui

which was both real and novel COW
cred two full hours of Intense in
terest and the ten principals supple
mented by the scores of supporters,
all played their parts as though born
to the stage.
AS on the night previous, Miss
Ruth Jacobson, in the leading role,
Kathleen" was a shining light oil
the play. Her voice was al its best
and as the "demure little Irish girl
she was charming Miss Ruth Ma
can, as "Flossie Neverset," the vamp
of the village, could have done moth
ing to perfect her part, her Tennis"
number being one of the hits of the
show.
Miss Dorothy Hadden could not
be surpassed as in her character
part of "Arabella wilkins. the vii

outlandish costumes. rich accent and

receiving encore after encore.
"Val" Afflerbach as Hans
~Schwindler, proprietor of the vii

comedian. He was ably assisted
by Ralph Crowell as 'Teckley

in town. His Dance Rural with
Lem was one of the big hits of the
night.
