His many friends are hopeful that his stay at Rochester will prove beneficial and that he will soon be on the road to complete re- covery. His office, during his absence, will be in charge of H. A.

W. C. After all, human beings are pretty much the same the world over. Some long-forgotten thinker said that; and it is very true. If anyone should doubt that it is true, let him view the performance of "So This Is London," to be given by the New Trier High school Dramatic club Saturday, May 28. In this play, the author, Arthur Goodrich, has displayed two sets of humans from two different countries. The first part of the dis- play presents the customs and the con- ventions of the two groups; these are as different as night from day. The last part of the display shows the character and feelings of the two groups; and it is there that one can see that humans are alike. Splendid Cast In this contrasting and comparing of American and British people, Arthur the very English Englishman with Goodrich has portrayed some very in- teresting and amusing types. One is the very English Englishman with drooping mustache and cynical ex- pression who simply must have his afternoon tea. Another is the Ameri- can business man, loud in voice and taste, who in introducing his wife says "Meet the ball and chain." Still another is the American "ball and chain," ordinary and over-domestic, who would say at a society function "I'm just dying to set. I've got a corn on my left foot that's just murdering me." Of course these types are all exaggerated, but nevertheless the germ of the picture is true to life. The cast that is working with their director, Miss Elisabeth Stanwood, upon this satirical play are really en- joying themselves, so delightfully has Mr. Goodrich written. But they are also laboring earnestly to get into character; and some of the cast are working even harder to acquire an English accent. The Cast The cast is: Hiram Draper, Jr. ........
