of tneir delightfully refreshing program, Summer Revue," before a pitifully small audlenec in Chapin hall last night. The enthusiasm demonstrated In the applause that followed each number resembled that of a Metropolitan "first night" gathering witness ing the opening of a performance of pronounced worth. A melodramatic one act play, "The by Holworthy Hall and Robert MIddlemas, was the opening number of the exceptionally well balanced offering of the company. The plot centered about one James Dyke, a prisoner in the Connecticut state penitentiary, doomed to die for the killing a man. Warden! Hoyt of the prison itatf has unexplatnably taken a liking to the man and the playlet opens with a conversation between the two.

The condemned man, during his confinement has been the subject of a number of letters received by the warden and among these is one from a young girl, Josephine Paris, obsessed with the impression that Dyke is her brother, long since lost track of by his Throughout the scene Dyke denies that he has any parents or relatives, but the warden, taking Into consideration that Josephine has travelled far for the purpose of an in terview with her supposed brother, permits, against the rules of the place, them to meet. Throughout the Inter- vlewDyke reiterates that he has no sister. By chance she repeats her brother's name and the prlsonor, having heard It before, connects it with a war scene, thre years. prior, when one Joseph Anthony Paris was killed In France. Relieved in the belief that her brother met death on the field of battle and was not the one to be executed, the girl leaves the warden's room for her home to comfort her invalid mother.

It is not. until the visitor has left the room that James Dyke establishes his true identity as Joseph Paris by repeating lines from Shakespeare which he had taught his sister many years ago; parts of which she had repeated Just before vacating the room. A splendid character is portrayed in the play In James Dyke who remained adamant through the entire scene in denying the "girl was his sister that she might not return home to tell his mother of his inevitable fate. Milton Parsons as James Dyke gave a Sierling performance. The character of Warden Holt was capably filled by John Wardle while Ann Porterfield as Josephine Paris gave a highly creditable impersonation.

The gripping drama of the play held the attention of the audience throughout its performance. Edna Holmes, soprano soloist, entertained with a program of Southern songs, as the second number. Miss Wnimes. a voung woman of charming nersonalitv. offered Neidlinger's "Lln- dy," "Dixie Night," by Charles Rep-per, and Song," by James R.

Gillette. Her program was featured by her keen interpretation of the numbers which were sung in a fine, clear voice. As an encore she offered "A SOUtnern Mountain Deems Tavlor. The third number was a comedy-drama, "The Boor," translation of Antnn Tchekhov's well known work, by Hilmar Baukage. This also proved a highly entertaining piece and won creditable applause from the au dience.

Miss Elizabeth Pope as neien Ivanevna Fopov, a young wiaow ami mistress of a country estate, gave a convincing performance while John Wardle as Grigorl Smlrnov. who is' much exercised over the payment of a debt of Mrs. Popov's husband, repeated his excellent work In the previous play. Milton Parsons as Luka, servant of Mrs, Popov's, bandied the difficult part in true manner. Mrs.
