Spanish Play Upon May 28, there was presented at the Pioneer Hall under the auspices of the Spanish Club, a play entitled — Uno de Ellos Debe Carsarse (One of Them Must Marry). The play was delivered in the Spanish dialect, the jist of the play being given in English before the rise of the curtain. Espanolers were out to enjoy a tip-top Spanish night and were Espanoling to their hearts content throughout the evening. The play deals with the love affair of two brothers. Upon his death bed, their father had stated that one of them should marry. The brothers decide to settle this question by means of a lottery. It falls to the lot of Diego to become married and, as he is not proficient in the art of love making, his brother Juan volunteers to assist him. Juan proceeds to make love to Luisa, Deigo ' s choice, but he becomes so ardent in his love making, that he goes so far as to pop-the-question. Luisa, realizing that it is one chance in a life time, willfully accepts. The cast : Tia Maria Juan Ruiz Diego Luisa Etta Steilow Edward MacRae R. Allardyce Daisy Hollies

The Senior Play We had a hard time deciding, but finally presented, as the Senior Play, The Man On the Box a three-act comedy by Grace Livingston Furniss, (adopted from the novel of Harold McGrath). According to the precedent set by the Class of ' 20, the play was given at the Auditorium on Thursday evening. May 19. The play made a tremendous hit with the audience, due to its many laughter provoking scenes. The plot, in brief, deals with the love affair between Lieutenant Robert Worburton, disguised as a groom, and Miss Betty Annesley, daughter of Colonel George Annesley. There is a rather important sub-plot, however, which has to do with the intriguing schemes of one, Count Karloff , a Russian diplomat, to secure from Col. Annesley, the fortification plans of America. Col. Annesley, aided by Lt. Worburton alias James Osborne, the groom, finally defeats the scheming Karloff. The audience was stirred keenly by the scene between Col. Annes- ley and Count Karloff. Although Col. Annesley tried with all his will power to keep from becoming a traitor to his country by selling the fortification plans, he believed he was forced to do so by grinding necessity as Count Karloff put it. He was finally relieved from be- coming a traitor by the final defeat of Karloff. Much humor was introduced throughout the play after some of these intensive scenes. The cast was as follows: Lieutenant Robert Worburton Mr. Charles Henderson Col. George Annesley Count Karloff Col.
