GIRLS FRIENDLY'IN DELIGHTFUL PLAYS S, Mark's Secley Boterains Woman's Aurliry as Gutsts Members and sssociate members of the Girls' Friendly Society of 8i, Greece Nearly Ova-wlulmdby Mm From Turkey Until Aid Comes From American Red Cross | Mark's Chureh presented an allegort- | eal playlet and a one.act play last evening before the Woman's Auxitlary and guests In the Parish rooms of the ehurch which were greeted by th thusiastic approval of the large audi- enge, The young women in beth casts; besides displaying fAn individual talent, showed the effects of the skil- ful and painstaking coaching of Miss Hally Humauson under whose direetion the' plays weve produced, There was & professional smoothness to the per- formance rarely achieved by amateurs and a sympathetic interpretation of the dramatic scenes of the play Miss Civilisation, by Iichard Harding Davis which brought honestly responsive thrills, At the conclusion of the enter tainment the young performers were obliged to respand to a curtain eall, at which time Miss Humason was pre- sented with a pretty bougquet of flow. ers by the Girls' Friendly Society, Don't Judge Hastily “Two Hlatterns and a King," by Edna St. Vincent Millay, told its les- son of the unwisdom of judging too hastily by upennncu, through the characters of “'Chance,” played with pleasing ingenuousness by Miss Arline Larson; “Tidy" delightfully interpreted by Miss Josephine Flmer as though she were the personification of tidi- ners itself; “Slut,” In which character Miss Gertrude Middleton, far from looking the part the name im- plies, helped splendidly to Impress the lesson of the beauty of cleaniiness, and the “King,” In which impersonation Miss IPlorence Willlams was thorough- ly regal and effective, With Impressivity gravity Chance informs the unhappy King that the cause of his unrest is his single state, whereupon his majesty determifies to search the town for the most tidy woman in his domain, intending to make her his queen. On this unfortun- ate day it so happens that Tidy, noted for her habitual neatness and cleanli- ness, has, through unhappy Chance, met with misfortune. Her kitchen is dirty, her person disheveled, her whole scheme of th'ngs disardered. It is while unwonted filth surrounds her that the inquisitive King, seeking the tidiest woman of the town, ehances upon her in his search. He reviles poor Tidy, now so slovenly—and all through Chance, and he puts her from him, worthy though she be except for this unlucky Chance. The King's Sad Error And on this ill-fated day it so hap- pens that Slut, tiving temporarily of living her life of slovenliness and case, . determines to try the one experience she has never enjoyed, namely that of sweeping the floor, putting her per- son and all her house in order. It is then that the queen-seeking King hap- pens, by Chance, to visit her house. And by Chance he jumps to the hasty conclusion that because the house of the ‘sloven ‘is in such good order it is always thus, just as he had too- hastily judged that the uniovely home of Tidy, which happened by Chance to be in disorder, was continually g place of dirt and filth. Too, quickly, then, the unhappy King weds the sloven who chanced to be clean for a day, and turns away from the tidy lady upon whom misfortune had come. And, truth of the terrible situation into which his hasty judgment has led him, he is nevertheless led away by the regal ear by her of slovenly habits whom, through Chance, he has chosen | to be his queen, An Air of Mystery A darkened stage throws an im- mediate atmosphere of excitement over the opening'of the' play *Miss Civilization,” which foilowed.

Judge John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross, at the request of Dr, A, Ross HIl, vice-chairmédn In charge of foreign operations, has borrowed Col. Willlam N. Haskell of the Am- erican Rellef Administration, to carry on work which Dr, Hill last October. To date the AmeFican Red Cross hes spent more than $2,000,000 most of which was drawn from Its disaster emergency fund, and even this big sum will not meet the needs. The problem of caring for wave after wave of refugees—equaling in number more than one-fifth of the population of Greece, herself—is enough to chal- lenge the abllity of such men as Judge Payne, Colonel Haskell and Dr. Hillg With a total territory slightly more than that of Ohlo and a population less than Greater New York, the housing alone is an ap- palling task which the Greek Gov- ernment faces. And as if this were not cnough the detention by the has seen burglars ¢oming to hreak into the' hous: where she and her sick miother are all alone. With dramatic earnestness she tells the agefit™o dispatch an engine to call the wre&mn crew to her aid; that she fears® to have her sick mother awakened, fearing fatal results and that she will keep the burglars there | under some pretense until the res. cuers arrive. It is just as she has finished re- assuring her wakeful mother, who calls to her from her sick room, and has gone to her,.that the three bur- glars arrive, the rays of their electric torch shedding a weird light across the now deserted room. A Dramatic Scene. In thisg, first scene of the play Miss Doris Wolfe, as Alice Gardner, dis- | plays a fine sense of the dramatic in | ker voice, hushed by fright as she speaks over the telephone, changing : | to brave strength as she reassures her | mother. And it is in the scene that follows her exit that the three bur- glars, Joe Hatch, played with fine nn- | Jerstandlng by ~ Miss Isabelle Mec- Nulty; Harry Hayes, an able second in the nefarious work in the person of Miss Mae Post, and Reddy, the Kid, who, interpreted with charming humor and sprightliness by Lillian Willilams, gives an atmosphere of gayety to all, proceed to clean up the place, dumpingeshe silver into a bag and searching the premises for realiom s furpished by the u'wr; snce of the deliciously cooked ehiok- h from the home of Mra.

The Ameri- can Red Cross, under Dr. Hill, with the cooperation of other agencles, has given out nearly a quarter of a million blanksts and overcoats ta refugees whe have been sleeping on the stone floors of public bulldings, schools, religious structures, ware- houses, factories and even on the quays, to which - each day fresh contingents arrive, The conditions of the refugees is such that an ex- tensive medical program is under way to improve camp sanitation, to institute ambulatories, mobile ho: pitals for epidemics and. gener: hospitalization work for both in- fants and adults, This will be " under the direction of Dr. Herschel C. Walker of Chillicothe, Ohlo, whose organization of similar work in Petrograd and environs won him an enviable record. As Colonel Haskell's deputy in the Greek fleld will be Maj. Edmund L. Daley who * served in a similar capacity in the Moon" to be followed by ,}Mrnlln' stance Norfeldt ‘and Grace Connelly and the closing chorus will be “Pick Me Up nnd Lay Me Down."

A Strange Discussion, It is while the burglars are engaged that the daughter of house reappears, determine the men there until thf‘Y rested. As “Miss Civiliza Gardner resorts to all her woman's wiles to feed and interest them, listening all the time for the three whistles from the engine which will toll her that the men of the wreck- ing crew of her father's railroad are close by. She meets the arguments of the chief of the robbers that his is a great profession, by insisting that Stealing is a stupid business, fit only for, the ignorant and that he and all his tribe are fighting a vain battle | against the advance of civilization. | Miss Wolfe's ease and conviction is well simulated and her personality dominates the situation quite in ac- cordance with the spirit of the play. A Bit of Humor, The Misses McNulty and Post prove gaod foils to the shafts of humor and lairy persifiage affected by Miss Wil- liams in her comedy character of Reddy, the Kid, and the scene is en- joyvable throughout,® giving just the necessary lightness to the piece neces. sary to prepare for the dramatic de- "nouement.
