before an enthusiastic audience in
Sarah Caswell Angell hall. The few
rough places that charaterized
Thursday night's performance were
entirely lacking, all three acts pro-
gressing with a maximum of smooth,
clever action, and excellent stage pre-
sence.
Stars of Play
It, would be difficult to select in-
dividual stars from what proved to be
practically an all-star cast represent-
ing some of the best talent on the
campus. Jennie Jacobs, '19, who play-
ed the leading role as Lady Noeline
Belturbet, shared close competition
with both of her "Amazon" sisters. Lois
May, '18, in particular, almost consT3-
ced the audience that she was a "real
boy." It is safe to asert that Beatrice
Fales, '18, as Viscount Litterly, satis-
fied every requirement to be made of a
typical hero of romance.
Humor of Production
The humor with which the play
abounds was fairly well brought out
by Melba Bastido, '19, in the part of
Andre, the French count, and by La
Verne Ross, grad.' as Sergeant Shuter.
Winnifred Parsons, '19, as the Earl of
Tweenways, demonstrated the most
professional acting of the entire cast,
and kept her audience in constant
laughter over her thoroughly good
interpretation of the difficult role.
U. S. MARINES IN FRANCE
ACQUIRE NEW SOBRIQUETS
Paris, May 10.-U. S. Marines in
France are rapidly acquiring new so-
briquets.
The Germans, terrorized by their
maniacal fighting, have dubbed these
Americans, "Devil Dogs."
But the French who have come In
contact with the marines refer to
them as "the millionaire soldiers,"
due to the fact that marines are do-
stantly dividing their pay with the
French women and children who need
help. In many instances marines
have been known to give up their en-
tire month's pay to purchase food
for destitute French families.
And the marines are proud of both
titles.
