The Rivals" is an interesting com
edy in three acts, written by Rich
ard Brinstey Sheridan. Martha Mil
ler nd Jess Coffer, the directors of
the "strolling players," play the
leiding roles. The play is an old
frvorite with theater-goers in spits
of the great number of comedies that
have been written since it was first
presented.
Mrs. Malaprop, who always uses
the right word in the wrong place,
introduces the plot of the comedy.
Three men have fallen in love with
the same girl and a duel finally re
sults from their rivalry. The heroine
becomes indifferent to the hero and
the outcome of the play is shadowed
in doubt.
Martha Miller plays the role of
Mrs. Malaprop; Jess Coffer, the part
of Bob Acres; Arthur Curran, the
wit of Captain Absolute; Neil Smith,
the Bart of Sir Lucius O'Trigger;
ud LoHise Sawyer, the part of Lydia
Languish.
Tickets for all the plays are 75
tents and may be secured at the Ross

rected by Miss Donna Gustin. Ber

The program consisted of three
parts. The first part, "The Gen
tlemanly Dancing Master," was the
story of the maiden, Hippolita, who
had fallen in love with bsr dancing
master. Only the maid, Prunella, is
in. sympathy with her. Three dandies
present themselves for Hippolita's
favor to th-a delight of the father and
aunt of the little sweetheart. In
spite of all, love is triumphant.
The second part of 'the program
represented a basketball game set to
rhythm. This original number was

sented and was very enthusiastically
received.

Greek festival in which Bacchus,
Flora, Zephyrus and the Dryads,
Horae, Niads, Satyrs, Muses, Bac
chantes and Iris took part.
The costumes worn were striking

unusually pleasing.

STADIUM PLEDGES
ARE DUE IN APRIL
Third Installments Called For;
May Publish 2nd Payment
Delinquents.
Third installments on stadium
pledges will be due April 24. The
committee in charge of pledge collec
tions is making a strong effort to
have all the second installments paid
before April 15. Personal solicita
tion may be resorted to in order to
make the collections.
Although the number of students
who owe their second payments has
been materially reduced, there still
remains a substantial number of five-
months overdue obligations. Four
monthly statements have been sent
to delinquent students and many have
been interviewed in an attempt to
collect.
The plan of publishing a list of
students who have not paid their sec
ond installments is being considered.
The committee feels that the students
who have paid Shem have a right t
know those who have not. If the
idea is carried out, the list will be
published about April 15.
PENNSYLVANIA The seniors at
Pen State expect to establish a pre
cedent by adopting a "Blazer Coat"
to be worn the last two weens i
school. The idea set forth is to adopt
a sport coat with colors of the grad
uating class.
