QQ Behind the F oot-Lights I HE right to the use of the stage has become a much contested matter, for never before have there been so many theatrical performances given at Central. The Vaudeville was staged as usual by the B. A. A. and C. A. A. the night before Thanksgiving. Un January 13 and 14, the Glee Club gave two evening performances of its annual opera, this time The Pirates of Penzance, and on hlarch 31 the music classes rendered lN1endelssohn's 1flijah. Sophocles' Antigone was presented on December 10 by the January Class, and Shakespeare's As You Like lt by the June Class on April 28. A new departure in the theatrical and musical line was the engagement by the faculty of Mrs. Ethel lflliot Swan, who gave a reading of A Nlid- summer Night's Dream and the engagement of the hlaximilian Dick Trio, well-known concert players. Un February 18 the faculty gave two plays, uhloney-hlad by Nlr. and blrs. Dickinson, and Spreading the News by Lady Gregory. To raise money for the athletic treasury, an all-star cast put on The Private Secretary on hfarch 3, under the direction of lV1r. Carson. The organization of a dramatic club and the presentation of scenes by the Shakespeare classes have contributed several enjoyable assemblies and an increased interest in good plays. 1191 I'QD?1 L w'1iV5SiJ
