Great success was scored Friday night of last week by the joint company of students of the Girls' High School and the Boys' High School, who presented the annual school play, "What Would a Gentleman Dor at the Majestic Theatre. A large and enthusiastic audience -of par ents and schoolmates greeted the yeung players and enjoyed their splendid acting.

Had professional actors portrayed the characters they could not have captured more 'unqualified attention and apprecia tion than did the school boys and girls during every moment of the three acts. The success of the annual play came as a result of several months' prepara tion by the student players, under the direction- of Miss Almeda Sprague, the painstaking coach and teacher of elocu tion In Girls' High SchooL Miss Sprague had selected play, picked out the cast and brought out the finer points of acting In the many interesting scenes and situations. Last year "Dr. Wake's Pstlenf was the most successful play given by the: two schools In recent years. This year "What Would a Gentleman well known English -play, was given with fully as much snap, vigor and careful attention -to details.

Miss Sprague worked' on the theory that actors in a school play should be trained most vigorously upon of enunciation. As a result, the cast excelled in that respect. The acting was simple and unaffected, and the young plapers did not strain themselves to get undue emotional effects or too much of the melodramatic. Edwin T. in the leading role of Dickie Hook, had to make love to two girls, but was natural and sincere, and made bis lines ring true.

His excellent portrayal of an honest and generous youth made him 'One of the most popular figures In the play. Miss Mildred Henry as Madge Kederby was a simple-hearted English girl, devoted to her father and ready to secrince herself and her love to keep her brother Ronald (Frank Curtis). Her clear, pleasing voice, freedom from self-consciousness her graceful carriage combined to 'make her presentation excellent The honors of the evening among the girls were' won by Miss Effle Bowie, as Agatha. Kederby, the Colonel's spinster sister, -with an outspoken tongue. Miss Bowie, l.who has 'an unusual voice and a natural manner, gawe a clean-cut and consistent portrayal and made the stern, gruff chamoter appeal to every one.

An other clever character was that of Rodd, the colonel's military servant, which was skillfully played by Augustus Weller, who made the role distinctly funny and at tracUv. No one kga ve more thoughtful inter pretation man Aioeri urunaage, a Colonel Kederby. Frank Curtis, as Ron aid Kederby, a youthful subaltern, gave a strong portrayal of his part Clarence Ernst did isome excellent work as 81r Christopher' Wynne, and apeared at his best In several very difficult scenes. Franklin Phrfan, as Beaton, had a ahort but important part, and read his lines effectively. Miss Grace tCanavello, as Dolly Banter, was vivacious and attractive.

As a sym pathetic friend, finally matched off to Dickie Hook, she displayed rare talent as a soubrette: and made her scenes re freshing. Donald Demanest, as an old English solicitor. Hartley Quayne, gave a clever impersonation. Mho Maude Seals, as, Lady Nora Hervey, did an effective bit of character work. It was a typical high school reunion night.

andthe lnhermiastbns between the acts were I given up' to interchange of greetings. School societies occupied and decorated'tthe boxes with banners. Among the prominent guests in the audience were Controller and iMrs. William A. Prendergast Arthur Somers.

Princi pal William L. of the Girls' High School and Dr. James Sullivan, principal of Boys' tHlgh School. An lntemsting feature of the event was the musical program given by the orchestra of' the Boys' High 8ohool, which played excellently under the direction of W. B.

Contractor Expects to Begin Work on Foundation en Mondsy Next Two Units of Great Edifice. Work on the new section of the Brooklyn Institute Museum on Eastern Parkway will be begun almost Immediately. The contract was awarded ion May 11 to the Benedetto Egan Construction Company, providing for the erection and com pletion of the foundations for new Sections and G. to be completed within one hundred and twenty-five days and to cost 164,000. Mr.

Benedetto said Friday that the contract had notr yetbeen- for mally approved by the controller, but he believed that the formalities would be settled In the afternoon, and that work would probably begin last Monday. The new wing will be built back of and adjoining to the large domed front of the museum facing on the parkway; that is, the new section will extend south from the present east wing of the building. It will be three stories high, like the pres ent section, with a basement and sub- basement. It will extend 120 feet south, and be 200 feet wide. In the center of the new section wll be a large court, the same height as the building And covered with glass.

There may be running water In It or a small pool, but it win in no way be used for a garden. It will serve for the exhibition of large objects, too tall and bulky to get into the regular rooms. As the new wing adjoins the present Egyptian collection, It will be used to show the larger objects of Egyptian art and architecture, and be large enough to store an obelisk if necessary. When the museum Is finally completed there will be four cburts of the same size and nature, used for Greek, Renaissance and modern exhibitions, respectively. The wing will be arranged In the same way as the present collection, the first floor for sculpture and kindred arts, the second for natural history, and the third for pictures.

The new wing is planned to cost in its entirety $940,000, of which $120,000 has al ready been appropriated by the Board of Estimate. As soon as the present work on the foundations gets under way the board will be asked for an appropriation for' the skeleton. It is thought that the wing will take four years for Its comple-tlon.
