. FRESHMAN SHOW REVEALS
VARIED TALENT “IN 1925]

Scarlet atoo of Freshmen Joins
Class Menageries *



“Excellent staging, novel _ stunts and
choruses, and many witty lines won for
1925’s: Mirrors of Yarrow Road, given to
1924 last Saturday evening, an honorable
place among Freshman shows. ‘The first
act showed a consistently high quality of
construction, staging and acting, and set an
almost professional standard which the two
later acts searcely maintained. Much. in-
dividual talent was discovered, such as
E. Macy’s and E. Hinkley’s dancing, E.
Grayson’s and’ L. Bulley’s comedy, and~H.
Cornish’s singing. ‘The curtain song, the

Dunn.

Dorami (1924), who had, been captured
by the pirates in her infancy, and Bart-
lemy (1925), the son of the pirate , chief,

Big Ben (1923), were igtroduced in the]

spirited first scene, and sang together “Oh,
Dorami.”

The scenes between them, though arti-
ficial, were in keeping with the operetta
tradition. The little pirate boy and girl,
who appeared as Bartlemy was reminding
Dorami of their life together on the isle,’
were childlike and charming. Big Ben was
likewise a true-to-type pirate chief, and had
no difficulty in persuading his followers to
accompany him even over .the Sea of
Matriculasia to the Egelloc. where his.son
Bartlemy might “hitch his wagon to the
star of Knowledge,. and learn to be a

Dances’ Enthusiastically Applauded

The dance of the Slaves and of the
Jewels both won enthusiastic applause ; the
latter was original and graceful, dancing
of a kind ngt often attempted on the col-

lege stage. The play of lights on the vari- |

colored, bejewelled costumes was particu-
larly lovely. The finale to the act showed
Dorami and “Bartlemy standing alone look-

Bonny Boat” was sung if the distance»

With act two; romance seemed to have
given way to grim reality, for instead ofa
pirate cave with moonlit water, the scene
showed the customs office of Egelloc, bare
walls, desks, and bails of goods. 'The cus-
toms official, acted by L. Bulley, proved the
center of the scene’s gaiety, and got a
laugh with nearly every line whether he
dictated to Miss Effie Shiccy, played bridge
with the chorus of stenographers, or inter-
viewed, in an official capacity, Big Ben and
his pirates. ;

The Pajama Chorus-at’the beginning of
act three, found an enthusiastic audience,
as they sleepily danced’ setting up-exercises
to Miss Cornish’s singing of the “Aggra-
vatin’ Blues.” Adolph, the Major Domo

ful French-English, introduced the choruses
and features for the entertainment of-the
Governor’s pirate guests; two very adept
acrobats even made exits and entrances
in involved and startling ways; Taki
Fugita, singing a Japanese song, was en-
thusiastically encored.

The presentation of the Class Animal,
which must be the grand finale of every
Freshman show, came after the Governor

his long lost daughter, and had consented
to her engagement to Bartlemy. “As a
reward for your first year in Egelloc and
your winning of the lovely Dorami” the
Governor ordered-the doors at the rear of
the stage to be thrown wide and intro-

DARK BLUE BANNER FLYS ON
GYMNASIUM FOR SECOND TIME

Seniors Sweep Through Sophomore
Defence in Water-Polo Victory



The stubborn: resistance of every. mem-

ber of the Sophomore first was unable to

check 1922 in the deciding game of the
finals last Thursday evening’ The: Senior
team, organized around the dashing team-
work of E. Anderson and A. Nicoll, sys-
tematically scored seven goals to
opponents’ one.

Though stopped at every point by the
"Dark Blue: fulls, the Sophomore forwards,
especially M. Buchanan, tried to keep up
an offensive game through both halves.
They were ably supported by J. Wise, ’24,
at center half, but th their fighting
never let up, they were from the beginning

"| outclassed .in quick accurate shooting, team

work and speed by the Senior team. At
the énd of the second half, after several
sensational dribbles, which were blocked
by E. Anderson, ’22, M. Buchanan, '24,
succeeded in throwing a clean goal, the
only score for her side.

Nineteen twerity*two’s strength was ob-
viously the result. of their excellent dis-
cipline, accuracy and speed. Passing as
scientifically as the members of a basket
ball team, keeping uncovered, swiftly re-

covering the ball when lost, and above all

fighting with furious vigor, they showed
themselves unmistakably superior to the

Sophomogse team. E. Anderson repeatedly:
H. | overtook J. Wise, ’24, or M. 'Fairies, '24,

when they were dribbling with the ball,
and took it from them, throwing it to A.

.| Nicolt or P. Smith, who were always ready

to receive it and try for a goal. E.
