Miss Vivian A. Ratcliffe of 804 Lin. coln avenue took part in one of the chorus dances in the annual show, given by the junior ciass at Mount Holyoke college, last evening, and called "A Good Girl." The show was this year marked by a departure from the musical fan- tasies given in previous years. The note of the modern runs through the plot and setting, to which the prin- cipal character, Alicia, reacts as the voice of satire. The play takes up the story of a young girl, Alicia, who, goaded on by a consciousness of her own unpop- ularity and by the example of her clever sister, Janice, adopts a speedy line and a fast delivery. The first act finds Alicia well on the way to resolve to start on the 'great busi- ness of being popular." The second act finds Alicia well on thed way to usurping her sister's place as the most popular girl in the crowd, but she has encountered unforeseen cir- cumstances in the infatuation for her of a young dandy, whom she likes, but hardly as a lover. The dilemma is solved in the third act when she decides to put their relationship on the solid basis of friendship. The sub-plot is taken up with the romance of Janice and her somewhat indif- ferent lover, Charley. When Charley finally. proposes in the third act, Janice's tension and the suspense of the audience are released. The dancing contributes to the gen- eral effect of the modern. The quick rhythms of the lyrics make it im- possible to resist executing clever dance steps. An especially lovely in- terpretive dance occurs in the second act, when Alicia, dancing in the moon- lit path, frightens the credulous guests into thinking that she is a ghost. An unusual little dance 1s the golf ball dance in the third act, effectively carried out by the bouncing move- ments of the dance. ---- Another interesting program was given by members of the North Shore Musical Society on Tuesday, Novem- ber 7. The subject for the afternoon being English music, held the mem- bers' keen interest because so many of our well-known English composers' music was given. The program was carefully prepared by each and every one who took part ana preceding it an instructive reading of the subject for the afternoon was gtven by Mrs Dorothy W. Macauley, director. The hostesses were Mrs. Marjorie Sher- man and Mrs. Winifred Seaver. Par- ticipants were as follows: Piano, Mrs. Eloise Bedlan, Mrs. Frances Taylor, Mrs. Erna Akely ana Miss Pauline Pettibone; voice, Mrs. Dorothy Cordts, Mrs. Marjorie Sherman, Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Fuermann; violin, Miss Hughes; vocal trio, Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Seaver and Miss Dorothy Rae. --(-- The Windsor Chapter, the British Empire, are holding a Mother Goose fair at the Glencoe Masonic hall, on Saturday, December 2.
