Ting F1u5Nc11 PLAY Les IJUIIJ' Sourdsv A big event of the term was the pres- entation of a one act comedy in French, given by members of the French classes, May 15, 19225. The play owes its suc- cess to the splendid coaching of Miss VVray, who opened the evenings enter- tainment with two French songs. The French was spoken very fluently through- out. Another interesting feature of the evening was popular songs sung in French by the cast which was as follows: Damoiseau, pere d'Eglantine Wright Cousins Placide, auroreu d'Eglantine Mariner Craig Boniface, domestique Edward Leadbctter Eglantine, fille unique de Damoiseau Lillian Swan His LTNCLE,S Ntucnu Such was the title of this year's Senior Drama. Francis Felton, a young man of tricky tendencies, was the Niece, by virtue of the fact that Uncle had for years labored under the delusion that Francis was a winsome girl. Francis and his young lawyer chum, Richard Tate, Esq., are living in a bliss- ful bachelor-hood at the time when Cncle decides to call upon his Niece, to exhibit Filander, his choice of a husband for her. It means an actual million dollars for Francis to cater to Uncle's whims, so when the former learns, on short notice, of the impending visit, he Dick Tate saves the million, temporarily, is desperate. with a license whereby Francis disguises as a girl, so that Uncle may really find a Niece upon his arrival. Dora and Alice, special friends of Francis and Dick, arrive on the scene at odd moments, very odd moments in fact, and are pressed into service in carrying out the brilliant hoax. The tangled web that Francis weaves by his attempt to deceive, is finally shat- tered when Filander, clad in a barrel, breaks in upon the faked wedding, which was to have gained Francis the million. The class of '23 can be proud of its dramatic production. Success came as the result of hard work, especially on the part of the coach, Miss Farris. The dance which followed the play, was well attended. The music for the entire oc- casion was furnished by the Academy Orchestra, specially drilled by Mrs. Ab- bott for this occasion.
