Program After Initiation ;
Dean LloydSpeaks
Nine non-affiliated women were
initiated in Senior Society at 4:15
p.m. yesterday in the League Chapel.
Following the ceremony, a banquet
and program was held for the new
members and alumnae of the organi-
zation.
The new initiates are Clare Gor-
man, Elizabeth Green, Elizabeth
Greeve, Eleanor Johnson, Maureen
Ka anaugh, Eileen McManus, Bren-
da Parkinson, Audrey Talsma and
Virginia York. Marion Brooke was
in charge of arrangements for the
ceremony.
Dean Alice C. Lloyd was the main
speaker at the banquet, talking on
"The Purpose of Honor Societies."
She was introduced by Charlotte
Simpson, toastmistress. Other speak-
ers were Eleanor Peterson, president
of the organization, and Sue Wood,
alumnae representative.
Special music at the banquet which
was planned by Marian Bertsch and
Jeanette Putnam was furnished by
Helene Gram and Miss Bertsch.
This year is the celebration of the
thirtieth anniversary of the organi-
zation, which was founded in 1905
when Mrs. Myrna B. Jordan was Dean
of Women. In a recent letter Mrs.
Jordan said, "Senior Society was
formed by a group of girls who felt
that as there were no dormitories
and no definite organization of
League houses, that a group of inde-
pendent women had a real piece of
work to help the independent fresh-
man women in their social and aca-
demic adjustments."
Twice during the existence of Sen-
ior Society, the organization refused
the offer to join the National Sen-
ior Honorary Sorority.

societies held last night, Professor

Two St age e 'vices
Cleverly Combined
InComig"Coedy
By BETTY GRIFFITH
Two devices of playwrights, one
long used, of gathering the characters
around a dinner table, and one more
recent of having the actors indulge
in nibbling throughout the play, have
been combined to form hilarious
comedy by J. B. Priestly, the famous
English novelist and dramatist, in his}
current hit "Laburnum Grove" which
is coming to the Dramatic Festival
with its complete Broadway cast, in-
cluding Edmund Gwenn, Melville
Cooper, Elizabeth Risdon, and Molly1
Pearson.
In this comedy, which will have its
cpening here on May 20, these devices
are used not merely to have the char-
acters doing something but as essen-
tial to the future action and to give
the play a certain flavor. The six
bananas which Melville Cooper eats
at every performance of "Laburnum
Grove" serve to integrate the char-
acter and to give it the Priestly rich-
ness.
When George Redfern (played by
Edriund Gwenn), a London suburba-
nite, sits down. to his Sunday night
supper, he has with him around the
table his brother-in-law and his wife
who are living on his money, and his
daughter, Elasie, and her suitor, a
used car salesman who is attracted to
a girl with so respectable and well
established a father.
Just at the beginning of the meal,
the father suggests that he is a clever
counterfeiter sought by Scotland
Yard. The supper party at first think
it a joke, but as the father goes on
they become convinced of the truth
of the story.'
Fromn this point the farcical com-
plications mount to an unusual climax
in the last act. Because of its origi-
nality and the action of its comedy,
"Laburnum Grove" has been placed
among the outstanding hits of recent
years.
