Ragnhild Nygaard seems a little youthful for the role of Orgon's faithful wife, but her resistance to Tartuffe's blandishments is fine comedy. Carrie Snodgrass as a saucy maid and Howard Witt as her sensible brother help the proceedings. There's a moral in all this, about false piety, and human nature is shown to be much as it was 300 years ago. But the emphasis is strictly- on laughter.

ness in many months. Mo-liere's Tartuffe is supposed to be a sanctimonious old hypocrite who fools the gullible into trusting him so he can dupe them. Kilty's pose wouldn't fool a blind man. He is the oiliest, phoniest, lip smackingest, cringingest, whiningest fake since Uriah Heap. He snivels and smirks and rolls his eyes to heaven.

He is a Bert Lahr and a Bobby Clark and a Groucho Marx rolled into one and he's still Jerome Kilty, in an extremely fine sample of old style clowning.

M. C. A.

Benjamin Gaines, member of the Wabash avenue Wise Men's club and board of directors of the Y. M. C. called the name of each girl who walked into the spotlight and curtsied as she met her father. The first dance, a waltz, was reserved for the fathers and followed by a series of cotillion figures directed by Robert Gamble, a dance instructor at the Washington park fieldhouse.

Bouquets of chrysanthemums and soft lights decorated the table and the same flowers were draped across the stage. Chairman of the event was Mrs. Theodore Wright of South Jeffery boulevard. To participate in the event a young woman must be recommended thru her church, school, or a Y. M.

A Wisconsin reader wrote to request a "holiday candied fruit, yeast bread that can be baked in an angel cake pan. I'd like to serve it at a morning coffee for a new neighbor." This type of coffeecake is often served with coffee or tea for late evening refreshments, too.

The candied fruit makes it especially gala, but of course it might be made the year around with raisins in place of the candied fruit.

Perhaps the hash mixture is too moist Drain off some of the drippings as they form, tho there should be enough to keep fat bubbling around the mixture. Cook uncovered over low heat for 25 minutes or until jets of steam escape thru the surface. To serve, loosen with spatula, fold over in half, and turn out like an omelet onto a heated platter.

GREEN: In one of your articles you wrote of becoming a housemother for a college sorority or fraternity. At the time, I didn't think I ever would have to think of doing something like that myself, but I now ani" interested in the possibility of perhaps making application for such a position next fall or at the beginning of a new school term.

I have two children, one a graduate student, the other a junior in college; so I know and love young people. I have been employed as a school secretary in a grade school; so I also seem to understand and enjoy all young people. By next year, I'll need more income than I now get, plus a roof over my head. You mentioned a course that can be taken for this kind of work. I would appreciate some information, please Mns.

R. M. A. Dear Mrs. R.

M. I'm happy to recommend again "The College Housemother" by Helen Reich and published by the Interstate Printers and Publishers, Danville, 111. List price is $3.00. This book will make suggestions and answer your questions. outdo one another at spearing a series of rings hung from posts in mid-arena, something like the old merry-go-round stunt of snatching the ring as you go by.

The Joust of the Saracens sets the riders to tilting at a target held by a figure of a Saracen, with a point system of scoring. In all three of these horseback events, the competition is genuine and the winners are not known in advance. The chariot race, which might be expected to be a high spot, is a bit of a disappointment It's no race at all, but a rapid whirl around the floor by two charioteers, while a third man, on foot, runs before them and always manages to duck out from under the horses's hooves just in time. A gladiatorial number is merely a male ballet, less exciting than the big Tarantella, with 60 dancers and 120 tambourines contributing to the great, gawdy dance. Pulci-nella, the Italian cousin of Punch in the Punch and Judy show, is the central figure in a comic dance number in which Pulcinellas in identical costume traee intricate, tho apparently aimless, patterns.

Not since A Century of Progress, more than 30 years ago, has Chicago seen a chess game with humans as the pieces. It's an interesting interlude in "Festa Italiana," carrying out the closing moves of a game played outdoors each summer in the town square at Marostica, near Venice. Black wins. The Chicago Stadium is a big place, this show is on a scale to fit it. The magnificent detail of the Sicilian pony cart's decoration are lost, of course, and vocal duets sound wan, but little of this Roman circus is lost.

W. L. CHARIOTEERS and gladiators, donkey carts and knights in armor, living puppets and living chess pieces, modern dances and medieval festivals, song and story, horsemanship and swordsmanship, make up the unusual extravaganza, "Fes-ta Italiana," which opened last night at the Chicago stadium. A colorful cavalcade, harvested from the annual pageants and festivals which have become traditional in a dozen or more towns in Italy, the show is on its first tour of the United States, bringing a form of entertainment and spectacle a little different from anything to which we are accustomed. It is a populous and fast moving event, with innumerable changes of pace and mood.

Its scenes come not only from all parts of Italy, but from many different countries in the land's eventful history. Its almost uninterrupted music is filled with fresh melodies, rather than the Italian standards only toward the end of the show does the familiar "Arriva-derci Roma" make a belated and brief appearance. At its best, "Festa Italiana" is a thrilling pageant. At its weakest, when it reaches for melodrama and comes up with corn, it still has a quaint charm. Most exciting sequences are the equestrian acts.

The Carosello of the Roses is an elimination tournament between mounted and armored knights, each wearing a rose atop his helmet. A test of swordsmanship as well as maneuvering of the horse, it sends two men against one another at a time. The object is to cut your opponent's rose away before he can cut yours. A man can get hurt at such a game. La Quintana sees riders with lances attempting to McCormick, the Charles Cashes; Johnette O'Neal, the John O'Neals Beatrice Owens, Mr.

Opening lead: Eight of A A skillfully contrived end play in trumps enabled the declarer to salvage a small slam contract in today's hand which the quirks of adverse distribution had seemingly consigned to defeat North was-confronted with a slight problem on his rebid. Altho it is a bit unusual to make a jump preference with only three trumps, the alternative call of two hearts did not appear to be particularly appealing. South had well above a minimum opening bid, so he took this opportunity to cue bid the ace of hearts.

When North cooperated by announcing second round control of the suit, South contracted for a small slam in spades. West led the eight of clubs and the ace was played from dummy. Declarer led a heart to his ace in order to play a small spade. West followed with the five of spades, and the queen was put up from the North hand. When East followed with the jack, it appeared that South would lose two trump tricks, for West was clearly marked with the doubly guarded king of spades behind declarer's ace-ten.

South's only chance was to execute an end play on his left hand opponent by stripping out the side suits and then throwing West into the lead. To do so profitably, he must guess his opponents' distributions. Declarer's first move was to cash North's ace of diamonds, followed by the ruff of a club in bis hand. The king of diamonds was played, and a diamond trumped in dummy as West's queen felL Another club ruff dropped the queen of that suit and, if West was to be taken at his word, the latter was apparently marked with three hearts. Proceeding on this assumption, South cashed two more hearts.

He was rewarded when West followed to both leads. Declarer led his last diamond and West, who was down to nothing but spades, was obliged to ruff and then lead away from his king-nine of trumps into South's ace-ten. D. A. R.
