A Review of the Season.

In the season of 1908-9, Thyrsus gave the same number of plays as in former years, but of different character; plays which were longer and heavier and which required more preparation and skill.

The first play, "Between the Acts," was presented three times be- fore good and stimulating audiences. The Mandolin Club played, and popcorn and candy was sold by the Obelisk pledges. "A Scrap of Paper," a comedy, was the most pretentious monthly play the club has ever undertaken, but the result proved worth the effort. Credit is due to Miss Sheets for coaching this play as well as the Annual. The Central High School Mandolin Club furnished music. "A Royal Run- away" carried the audience back to days of yore, with its fairy tale and real Prince and Princess. Several real peasant costumes were used to good effect. The following Saturday night, a benefit performance was given at Self-Culture Hall before an appreciative crowd. But the crowning event was the supper on Franklin avenue!

In March, the ability of the club always meets its supreme test. It was only after careful deliberation with its faculty members, that Thyrsus decided upon a striking departure for its '09 Annual. It was not

'Beticeen the Acts.

selected from the ranks of old English comedy. The choice of "An Ideal Husband," a four act modern comedy, marked an era in the club's history. While not requiring elaborate costumes, it demanded more subtle interpretation than former plays. It is a semi-problem play, treating some important questions of modern life. It was presented before the largest and most enthusiastic house the club has ever had. The stage settings were excellent, and that, together with elegant cos- tuming, and splendid interpretation of the lines, made the performance

a great success. The Senior girls in cap and gown distributed very artistic pro-

grams at the door, adding the little touch needed to make it truly a

college affair.
