Pup peteer Plays Please Audience Forgetting, at the time that the mar- fonettes were senseless wooden dolls mnipulated by strings, thle audience present at the afternoon and evening pe formazes of "Six Puppet Plays" in Sarah Caswell ;Angell hal yesterday enjoyed the production even more than a play composed of actual people. "Galli, the Prima Donna," a featurel made especially: for this presentation of the puppeteers, appeared to be the favorite of the audience in the even- ing, as well as the prize of the child- ren' s performance. 'Next in favor seemed to be the "Negro Juba Dancer," accompanied by "Old Black Joe" .and his banjo. "The Three Wishes" also deserves mention for the reality, of the action as a whole, the clear speak- ing and clever movements of the sim- Vpe old' man and his wife who foolish- ly used their wishes for a blackberry pudding. "The Dutch Dancers," and "The Fairy Tina" won the audience with their natural grace and the two acts "On the Road to Bombay," and i"n t? l . E-and re ;ion"l -Wer x- eedingly- well' done. A tableux, representing the spirit of the association was presented before the evening performance by the Uni- versity Y. W. C. A. The spirit of the i, association holding the two hemis- spheres in her hand watched the girls representing all the countries in the !world pass before her. Miss Mary Ross, secretary of the university Y. W. C. A., sang the association song, "Follow the Gleam," during the tab- *eux. The presentation of the "Six Pup-' het Plays" yesterday was under the1 auspices of the University Y. W. C. A.I .and was a feature of their financial' Jampaign which opened yesterday and will continue through the remainder bf the week.
