THESE Columbia Players keep them

selves but please their public If by
chance you were up at Pierce Hall last
night where this interesting bunch
was playing The Mask and the Face"
you must have felt that here is an or
ganization which deserves all that is
coming to it, and more.
Although this play was given some
thing of drubbing by Broadway play
commentators couple of years back,
the news criers saying that a mock
funeral on a modern stage is some
thing that even the most lenient audi
ance cannot find agreeable, the general
impression around Pierce Hall last
night was that these players could
make almost anything agreeable.
If we have sneaking suspicion that
the leading roles were sighted rather
more than they should have been, and
that maybe one more rehearsal
wouldn't have done anybody any harm
the cast for the most part trumped
up its entertainment with will, and

Alex Ednie, pro at Shelter Rock
Country club. Long Island, recently
drove a spun latex ball through
phone book almost an inch thick, con-
tanning more than 500 pages. Stand
ing the book on end without support 4
feet in front of the tee. Ednie sent
the ball through with such force that
it carried and rolled 100 yards beyond.
Travelling at the rate of approximate
ly ia miles an hour, the ball was
averaging 1877 feet a second when it
hit the book. The drive, declared I'm
possible by golfer and nongolfer alike,
was made to test the new spun latex
golf ball, United States rubber prod
uct. Made of materials never before
used in golf ball construction, the new
ball is notable for it's power and dis
lance. These qualities are acquired
primarily from a high-power winding
of thread spun direct from liquid
latex, the natural milk of the rubber
tree.

brazos unos hermosos ramos de cri-
santemos, don Pedro llevando de Ia
mano a Paquin, y ell nino sin soltar
a Bili-Bili, afanado en- hacerle yer su
gran carino y en- reiterarle sus pro-
mesas de darle caramelos y nueces
cuando va estuviesen de vuelta en- la
casa. Su vocecilla cariciosa sonaba
entire aquel ~silencio como ell gorjeo
de un g%orrion.
Impresionados hondamente, don
Pedro y Teresa omenzaron a cruzar
entire tumbas. Paqufn no las veia. BIZ
li-Bili lie tenfa com hipnotizado.
-iBendito sea csc muneco!-dijo
don Pedro, siempre en- o baja-.
Gracias a ell he podido venir aquf sin
separarme de mi hijo, como ella an
to me 10 encarg6... iPobre Elena
miai...
Habian llegado va. Estaban delan-
tie de un sepulcro que ostentaba una
gran losa alargada, cubierta de ms
cripciones y orlada por IN cerco de
metal.
Don Pedro, con los ojos nublados
por las lagrimas, deletr q para 81 los
penosos renglones, mientras Sc AFRO
dillaba, emocionado, y decia a Teresa
en- voz siempre velada:
-iMentiras me parece!... Medic
aho va que nos dejo, y a mi Sc me
figura que este ha sido aver.
Ell ava, arrodillada tambien, depo-
sitaba embellishments los de
~crisantemos sobre ell marmol de la
losa, en- tanto que sus labios must
taban algunas fervientes plegarias.
Los dos, visiblemente ~conmovidos,
oraron con p%rofunda devotion sobre
aquella tumba, mientras Paquin, yen
do y Yiniendo por ell sendero que los
sepulcros d~ejaban libre, cantaba a
gritos, obligando a Bilillo a bailar con
Ell algunas danzas, o haciendole mar
char acompasadamente, como saba
que marchaban los soldados.
