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.

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. J WhereT0GO 1 . MAY FESTIVAL 0 1. Wednesday, May 15, 8:15 P.M.
