The scene of Oh Doctor was laid at the Drinkwater Station, a most fascinating health resort Love, laughter, and mystery prevailed throughout the entire production. Characteristic scenery lent a charming touch to the atmosphere and provided a most effective background. The advertising was ably taken care of by a self-appointed committee. Much credit is due the other members of the Glee Club who also v orked hard to make the operetta a success. Twenty-seven
