THE EVENING MASK AND WIG CLUB SCORES BIG SUCCESS Pennsylvania's Popular ‘Boy Girls’ Delight Audience With Songs and Dancing. “I'lie appearance last evening at the Washington Auditorium of the Mask #nd Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania was not merely an ap- pearance. It was an_event—even more than that, an achievement, a ccess appears to be iriumph. Bu the rule as regards the fofferings, year after year this organization of tal- ented vounz men from the student body of the Keystone State's great in stitution of learning. In king of them, superlatives in the use of ad- Jectives seem commonplace. There are many constant theater- goers i Washington claiming to be is not good on the stage, who belleve and firmly reiterate that the ofterings of the Mask and Wig Club of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania are among the “best shows that come to the National Capital.”” The large and distinguished audience in the Auditorium last eve- ning, judging from the enthusiasm manifested, seemed to think “A_Sale and a Sallor,” or “Glory, What Prices!” the best ever. The “girls” of the company appar- ently were as beautiful, as chic, as young and as shapely as those of any musical comedy chorus to ap- pear here this season; the costumes as elaborate as could be imagined, and the color effects, lighting and scenic investiture worthy of the best professional production. In addition, there were the usual side reception of distinguished gu hind the scenes during intermission; and “Penn” tributes to Washington and Washingtonians at the concl sfon of the performance, a demu little “lady” plucking off “her” and becoming a very “he” vigc gymnastic, gyrating cheer leade "or an unexplained reason this Wig Club last year. In atonement, perhaps, the National Capital was given an early date this year, when the costumes and scenery are all brand-new and the “pep” and en- thusiasm of the performers at high- est pitch. The show had its first offering at Reading, Pa., only last Tuesday evening. It playved Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday, and Pittsburgh, Pa., Thursday, and will have its customary appearance at Atlantic City the Sat- urday before Kaster Sunday, and thence will run for two weeks at the Forrest Theater in the club's home olty, Philadelphia. The story of “A Sale and a Sailor” is of little consequence. It concerns the rebellion of a group of colonlsts against the high prices charged by & '| woman merchant, who was recefving smuggled food from a British ship which had blockaded their port. The play was written by Albert G.| Miller, jr., of the class of ’27, who did nding work last evening, as v, an old salt, singing of Lee,” with the addition of up- » verses, being one of the hits. Gilpin, Clay A. Bolan and STAR, music. In addition to Mr. Miller, the cast included Harold E. Merrick, Bd- ward 8. Lower, jr.; Bernard A. Towel Edwin C. Magee, Francis I Curt! George T. C, Kunkel, Charles W. Boeckler, Harold W. Roy, Raymond De 8. Shryock and Irving L. W. Gloninger. A “Freedom” mals chorus, am- pler” and “Rainbow” specialties were truly spectacular, as were a “‘Harle- quinade” offering, a mistletoe dance, & “Protest of the Colonlsts” number, a dance of the smugglers and an Apache dance. And speaking of dancing! Gee, how those boy-girls can dance! “A Sale and a Sailor,” or “Glory, What Prices!” is the thirty-eighth an- nual production of the Mask and Wig Club. Born in 1888, and presenting “Lurline” and “Ben Franklin, J in the order named, and then clinching its successes with ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Cleo- " as a regular engagement in t has continued rolling down the years, gathering favor, like a rolling snowball grows in size, until, in its thirty-eighth year, it certainly seems to have attalned perfection. Starting with su~h capable directors as Clayton WASHINGTON, D. €, SATURDAY, early and coming down to Rogers and no, Gilpin and Charles 8. Morgan, jr., of today, there is rea- son for the high rating.
