Costumes and scenery vied with the | artistic conception of movement and music for first place in the opinion of the audience, and the combination of | the four made a medley of rare charm which brought delighted laughter and | applause from the audience on both | occasions. The old negroes with their high | stepping cake-walk, and the pickan- innies with their nimble clogging were the first to "bring down the house," but the Musical Interpretation, with | its exquisite peacock coloring, trailing feathers of blues and greens and | bronze, its shimmering scarf dance, | brought a breathless silence of appre- | ciation of the sheer beauty of the | scene. | The Kitchen Awake, with its shift- less Irish maid and its lively scouring powders, spices, brooms, and dust pans and self-satisfied "Whipping Cream" worked up an uproar which was silenced only by the crowing of the cock--and then came the Italian scene with its gay color and song, the ex- quisite daintiness of Pierrot and Pier- rette, the masked ball and the en- trance of the guards, attendants and the May Queen, followed by a rush of the players in gay costumes, eager to shower their congratulations on the Queen of their choice. The audience on the first evening was composed of relatives and friends of the students, and on the second, of a scarcely less appreciative group of alumnae and friends of the college, including the members of the board of trustees and their wives, who attended the play following their quarterly meeting in Harrison hall. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Vissering, 257 Kenilworth avenue, returned to Kenil- worth April 23, from a Mediterranean cruise.

That means you will have Saturday, Sunday and Monday to enjoy a wonderful outing. Take advantage of it! Of course the high- ways will be packed on this first holiday of the season. Why not leave your car in the garage -- let someone y else do the worrying--take the North Shore Line and enjoy yourself? Hundreds of choice spots in the nearby . land of lakes and woods are reached by North Shore Line trains connecting with North Shore Line Motor Coaches. For example: Lake Geneva, Fox Lake District, Lake Villa, Antioch, Volo, McHenry. The cost is so small, the pleasure so great! Ask your North Shore Line ticket agent for information. S ervice that makes ILWAUKEE a next door neighbor I: WASN'T so many years ago that North Shore towns had less frequent transportation service to Chicago, at many hours of the day, than they now enjoy, all day long, to Milwaukee! That mayseem surprising, but it's true nevertheless. Today,on the North Shore Line, there is service every hour to Milwaukee. Limited trains from here make comfortableconnections with fast Milwaukee trainsat North Chicago Junction. No matter what time of day you want to go--morning, afternoon or evening -- the same hourly service is available to you. North Shore Line takes you direct to the heart of Milwaukee's business district--Sixth and Sycamore-- saving you time and taxi fare. Go this fast, clean, smokeless way. Dining cars at meal times on Milwaukee trains; parlor-observation cars at scheduled hours. All Milwaukee trains stop at Kenosha and Racine. Those desiring to take Milwaukee trains from Chicago will find our Loop Station (Adams and Wabash) and our North Side Stations (Grand Ave., Wilson Ave., or Howard St.) a real convenience. All Milwaukee trains stop at these stations. For schedules, fares and other information, inquire at ticket office. Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad Co.
