Neither of these alternatives will be the case, however, in that ofthe annual plays of our dramatic society. The Hrst presentation was at Christmas, and as usual at Leslie Hall. Three plays were pre- sented by the younger boys, chiefly in the pri- mary department. The entertainment, under the direction of our most excellent dramatic coach, Miss Bingham, were very well chosen and well acted. For the commencement exercises two plays have been chosen to be given at the Princess Theatre. The hrst will be a tragedy in one act, and to counterbalance this, the second is a farce. These two plays offer ample opportunity for variety and expediency in acting, and if carried out as expected, certainly this year will be one of the greatest dramatic years in the history of B I theatricals 50 THE CAPTURE OF WALLACE A Tragedy in One Act by GRAHAM PRICE 4 s r I 4 l 4 r.
