CAPABLE COMPANY PLEASES IN
LITTLE SHEPHERD KINGDOM COME

he was on the stage. was Jack. the
almost human collie dog. who took
a most prominent part in the story.
He loved his master and he showed it:
he was fond of Melissy and she loved
it. When DAVIS Dillon. the william of
the story. appeared on the scene of
action he was furious. he raved and
growled and tugged 1T his lease. 1t
was wonderful. acting. DO you sup
pose that dog really would bite that
man." one rather timid lady audience
asked another behind her program.
1t was Squire Middleton who in
jected what humor there was, into
the lines. He was droll old man.
who loved his jug and who loved
his people.
The settings OF the scenes were
most attractive. Curtains formed
the background. The trees and fol-
iage when such were called for. were
painted on the hangings, fitting most
realistically into the show.
Especially pretty was the scene in
the Buford home. with rose colored
walls and chintz curtains and dra-
pCRiSS. ~ WAS IL pretty plCturc lOT
the buXom beauty Of Margaret Dean,
who loved Chad.
The woodland scenes were pretty
backgrounds for Malissy, who also
loved Chad. Her dress was a woodsy
brown and her hair was brilliant as
well. With Jack, the dog, beside
her, she made a very pretty picture.
The colorful scenery. the attractive
poses, all made for striking tableaux.
| The portrayal of the characters
| was earnest, each one living their
part so wildly that the result was a
splendid piece of acting.
The members of the cast included
the following: Donald Mclean, Will
| liam Friend, John f. Hines. Viola
Cecil Ormonde. Edward L. Racey, G.
| E. Andrews, George Frenger and
Agnes Kraemer.
The show of Tuesday evening was
most splendid final offering and
with this, the closing of the course
| for the season, there does not seem
to be any reason why everyone
should not be pleased. Judging from
| the wide and varied number of at
fractions which have been brought
here it would seem that the commit
| tee was endeavoring to bring the
best there was to offer.

Tied in First of
Frat Track Events

| The first track events of the inter-
! fraternity track meet at Colby were
! run off Wednesday afternoon on the
! board track. Six fratcrnitics had
men on the field, and three of them
were fairly evenly matched. The re-
suit of the meet was that Alpha Tai
Omega tied Delta Kappa Epsilon for
first place. with each having is
points. Zcta Psi cam" in second with
nine points. ri Delta ri got four
points: Lambda Chi Alpha three:
Delta Epsilon, two. The Phi Delta
| Theta team. if they have team, was
not out and the non fraternity men
were not there.
Tic track was in fairly good condi-
! ton considering the soaking that it
got all day Monday but rubber boots
were needed to approach the scene of
action.
! Norman Foran found a slippery
! place on the boards and slid on his
knees off the track into the slush
on the side. Although his injuries
were not serious. he will be unable
to compete for several weeks He
was running in the trials for the 800
yard race and he was unable to get
away from Nardi. n new man, on one
, of the corners where FCran slipped
as Nardi was trying to edge past him.
The men who competed last year
. took omst of the first places but they
/ had some trouble AMI many of the
new men came in for close seconds
and thirds. No times were given out.
but it is said that the time was as
good as it has been in previous meets
of this kind and in one or two cases
better
The 600-yard race was one of the
feature events of the afternoon. Tho
race was close up to the last lap with
Hricr leading a little when Foran
slowly closed up the gap and finish
ed first by a narrow margin. Foian
and Brier were both members of the
relay team that was sent to New York
a few weeks ago and they are very
nearly equal in speed.
