R., by Karl Capek was presented by the Dramatic Arts Society on December 12 in the College auditorium. It was by far the most pretentious affair yet undertaken by the Society, but in spite of the difficulties of interpretation and stage facilities, the excellent direction of Air. Tompkins and lVliss Reighard piloted the production to a universally acclaimed success. The players, after five weeks of concentrated effort, produced mechanically finished characterizations for amateurs. R. U. R. was the trade name of mechanical people manufactured by the R. U. R. company headed by Harry Domin. Helene Glory, who Came to plead for a better life for the Robots, married Domin. At the request of Helena, the Robots were sensitized, the formula of their manufacture destroyed, and in the third act civilization was destroyed by the revolution of the humanized machines. The epilogue restored life to the world in the love of the Robots, Helena and Primus. CAST Harry Domin. . . ...,....,. . . .Ray Pillsbury Sulla .......,.. ....

Dance The 1925 Annual Dance of the Wonien's League, under the general chairman- ship of Romalda Vllurm and Mary Lingo, was held at the Federation Club House on Friday evening, February 15. The ballroom was a fitting picture for St- Vale-ntine's Eve, with its little red hearts and painted ladies. The side lights gave a soft glow to the room and made it most pleasing to dance to the splendid music furnished by lack Duncan's Collegians. Valentine Day was ushered in by a Grand March led by Nlarion Huston, League president, and Frank Reid, and before the close of thelMarch the men received colorful silk handlcerchiefs as favors. A dainty and graceful Valentine dance was a feature ofthe evening and successfully completed with the refreshing punch. Dancing was from nine until twelve-thirty and happy but reluctant guests were sorry to hear the last strains of the orchestra.
