The Mikado BOVE are the celebrated Directors of the Mikadm Rev. Francis Finn, Miss Florence Moran and Mr. Edwt Henneg'un.

Three One-Act Plays HE second attempt of the year, three one-act plays, not only was novel, but also a bold undertaking. Those who witnessed the first performance at the Odeon will depone that they had an evening of unalloyed amusement The curtain rose on Stuart Walker's 'tMedicine Show, a very difficult character study with impressionistic setting. It brought to our followers the Thespian endeavors of Robt. Ruthman t25, Thomas Clines '28 and Paul Brophy '28. The impirical, and decidedly unique therapeutics of Dr. Stevln Vandexter forms the neucleus of the action. Beside the grip- ing character appeal, the play affords a glimpse of what might be termed the illusive philosophy of the natives of Kentucky of some twenty years ago, and which now is seldom in evi- dence. The Rising 0f the Moon ' by Lady Gregory, the second of the triad, cast four Freshmen; John Williams, Austin Welsch, James Quill and Raymond Albers. The play is a study in loyalty, and gives oneis conception of the proverbial police- man a decided turn. The Scenic Directors worked the drape idea again, which, with the clever lighting effects, produced the illusion of the typical London, or near London fog. The last scene of all which ended this strange, and event- ful evening, was the hair raising farce, The Ghost of Jerry Bungler . As the title suggests, it is a spectre play with an unusual ending, and emphasizes how susceptible even a crowd of men may become to the power of suggestion, especially so after they have had a few drinks in a dimly lit room. Howard Geerin i25 and John Gaynor t25, Goodwin Cahill i26, and Rob- ert Brunsman 26, Edward McGrath ,28, Joseph Niener 28. and Herbert Janzen 328, formed the cast. Page One Hundred Forty
