! F"9'H~ &NtA tat MufAEaEe on thG prop i srt{, held by Felix Murphy. a tight Dublin attorney. In reality, however. he secures second mortgage on the i property. and thus Lady Mary finds herself in an embarrassing financial condition. Understanding Mary's un- ] Fortunate plight. Terence sends to Dublin for money. In the second act Lady Mary entertains a crowd of the neighboring gentry. Among them is Molly 0'Tool. played by Doris Bar rett, who brings along her friend. Maureen McGihncy. played by Celia Atrame, who is visiting her from Dub lin.
 I Msureen and Terence Meet
 Maureen and Terence meet alone. and when Maureen addresses Terence l by his real name, Terence O'Grady. he becomes confused and admits that per haps he is in love with Lady Mary Maureen resolves that she will not lose Terence, who had shown her some attention in Dublin. and has confer enee with her friend. Molly 0'Tool. 1 They decide on plan, and a short time later Mary is surprised and grieved in hearing Molly tell that Ter enee Is there under an assumed name, i that he is in love with Maureen, and came to buy the place for her as a wedding present. Molly assures Lady l Mary that she comes in the hope of l thwarting any intentions that Ter enee may have of getting the place at low price. Meanwhile a messenger has brought back the money. and in a very pretty scene. Terence tells Nor cen to wish hard that the fairies in ] the we'll which Is supposed to be an l Irish wishing well. will give her for tune in order that her Aunt Mary may pay off the interest and mortgage. While Noreen is wishing with her eyes closed, Terence places the money in the well. and the fairies come forth, and do very pretty dance. Thus Felix Murphy. played by Patrick Cody. is paid of. in a dramatic scene, and the financial atmosphere is clear ed
 Finally in the last scene. Mary and Terence understand the situation, af ter an explanation by the latter of why he came under an assumed name to win Lady Mary, and all Is settled happily, as Noreen comes on to an nounce that she has been asking the fairies in the we'll to make everything all sunny and happy again.
 The dialogues and songs of kath- leen 0'Mara, played by Corinne Wi son; Dan Tyron. played by Gerald Cartier; Darby Duffy. played by Franklin Perry. and Nora, Darby's wife, played by Lois Ransom, were very amusing, and came in at just the right places to relieve the tenseness of the plot.
 Hero and Heroine Star
 Besides deserving great credit for their mastery of their speaking parts, pritehard and Miss deCoudres receiv- ed much praise for their fine singing. pritchard had four solos. and sang every one of them well. He was also in two duets with Miss deCoudres. The latter in her song. Love Is a Painter" rendered the best musical number of the evening.
 The chorus with it's singing and dancing numbers was very delightful. It comprised: Marion Holden, Celia Aframe. Doris Barrett, Leonie Daigle, Geraldine Frost, Edmaer Guy. Gizelle Magnant. Gertrude Marion, Bella Si- mon. John Davis. Ralph Davis, Theo- dore Gagns. Edward keefe, Rudolph Metty, Roy Thompson, William Nalen- tine. Francis Curran, Selden Daniel son.
 In their two dances the fairies made 4 fine impression on the audience. Very good lighting arrangements en- hanced the beauty of the scene The fairies were: Edith Child queen; Thelma Bosworth. Ida Dupre, Helen Maher. Hazel Mongeon. Alice Rogers. Julia Peterson. Marjorie Steere, Mari on Wilcox.
 Too much credit cannot be given the members of the school faculty for the work which they put into the play. Many afternoons were spent, from the time rehearsals started six weeks ago, until the comedy was finally given. They took charge as follows: Music, Miss Estes; dancing, Miss Tackaberry and Mrs. Johnson; dialogue. Mir. Stin- son and Miss Keith; costumes, Miss Pease and Miss Bernier stage and properties, Mir. Stinson, Miss Baker, Miss Smith; advertising, MT. smith.
 School Orchestra Plays
 The school orchestra furnished the music for most of the musical mum bers. and also played before the cur tain went up, and between the acts.
 The orchestra, which did very good work under the direction of Miss Jo- sephine Estes, was made up of the following: Piano. Frances Obletz; first violin. Molly Smith, Armand Derosier second violin, Bessie 0b- letz. Eleanor Irving; clarinet, Dorothy Kenyon: flute, Paul Wheaton; sazo- phone, Carl Tillquist.
 The profit on the play, which will probably total over one hundred dol lars. goes to the school athletic asso- citation. By this money, and by money received from popular subscription in the fall, the school is now practically cleared of the $500 debt with which the athletic association started this year.
