THE PASSING SHOW OF 1917 NOW, kind patrons. before the curtain ascends listen ill tentivcly to this little speech iii;i I« l»y I lie show's stage director. in behalf of himself .mil his iim nrkcix in tin- effort lu sill inf v your every desire in I lit production of this little playlet:— We. wlm I m v» worked so li;i ni in I In staging »»f this fourael pliiv—more s|s citic wi run nnl Ik , for here u hit of comedy is to Is- observed. there some farce. in other plucc burlesque. ami often wnne «lint of tragedy—have now aeroni- plislieil our purpose. Our lit lie ilraiiia is ready for its Mirst nit'll!. It is nhoiit to lie presented for your approval, ami although we realiw that it is hv no means perfeet.- mistakes ami errors are houml to erivp into even the most carefully proilueeil masterpiece, for Shakespeare lias a clock strike in ■Itiliit Cnrsiir—we hope that the «Iraimitie critics and the public in general will overlook the minor details and note the true ipiulity of the picee as written by the hand of Fate in the halls of IUirfee High and as arranged by that noble Istard of sixteen world-famed playwrights. Nothing has been omitted. The plot begins with the intrmluelion and acquaint- ance of the characters to Durfee—Act I. Acts II ami III form the rising action, until at length in Act IV conies the glorious climax of senior year. Our actors ami actresses have found use for neither paint nor powder, since the authors and directors have endeavored to write into the words themselves all the embellishments that the participants may need or desire. ’ Alas, patient audience, we can not raise the curtain until that increasing din from the street has Is-en quieted. I»n not be disturbed. It is not a Ccrmun army, but merely a crowd of disappointed playgoers, who forgot to order their seats in advance at a chair, and are now clamoring in vain for admittance. Hut hark! the signal is given, and now the curtain is slowly mounting to the ceiling.
