The gulf separating the A. and M.’s participants and the other runners began to be counted in yards when Captain Weir took up the race next to the last lay and when Sammie in creased it in the final quarter, Mc- Natt’s supreme efforts and Dowell’s sprint at the start, were in vain, for when the tape was broken, the Ag gie team put the record of three min utes and twenty-six seconds on such a plane that it will be many moons be fore it is again approached.

TONIGHT Brackett Directs All-Star Cast in Final Production—A Highpower- ed Play of Love and Politics. % * * ❖ * ❖ * * * •r * * ❖ * The annual Senior play, the first evening feature of this year’s com mencement program, will be presented by the Class of 1921 tonight at 9 p.m. in Guion Hall. Every effort has been put forth to make the play a success and the prog ress so far made indicates that it will excell all former productions. Those remembering past offerings such as “The Fortune Hunter,” “Strongheart”, and others, this statement carries a deal of meaning. Elaborate settings under the expert supervision of graduates of our tech nical departments, experienced actors and the able direction and coaching of Mr. R. D. Brackett, have produced a play unsurpassed under the traditions of the College. A number of years ago the Senior Class began the production of and an nual play with the idea of adding to the variety of the commencement pro gram, and also for the purpose of en couraging the entertaining features of the College. That started the Public Speaking Society and since then a number of plays have been staged throughout the year, with the Senior play excelled the previous ones and play exceled the previous ones and thus the Senior Class has set the pace for dramatic work at the College. Each year the attendance has grown until last year the then limited ca pacity of Guion Hall was taxed to the utmost. The cast this year boasts of some of the best talent that has ever been shown at the College. Mrs. Tyler Haswell as Mrs. Bennett, mother of the young mayor is among the lead ing ladies. Mrs. Haswell’s former dramatic experience assures superb rendition of the role. Miss Nova Lovell, whose wide experience on the College stage has won her a lasting place in the hearts and affections of her audiences, will play the part of Dallas Wainwright. Miss Lovell is an actress of surpassing charms, and her rare talent will easily enable her to play the lead. Cynthia Garrison, by the popular Mrs. Frances Allen Mil ner who plays the part of the dash ing sportswoman, with irfesistable piquency. The title role is played by W. T. Strange, whose exceptional tbility was displayed in his famous role as Wil son the picture expert in “Officer 666.” The character of Hurringan, the big political boss, is abely por trayed by Jonnie A. Pierce, P. N. Vinther, who starred in the Dramatic Club’c success “Nothing But the Truth”, will play as Scott. H. Gibbs, the Wall Street Broker. Dykes, one of the cleverest actors on the Campus, will interpret the part of Judge Newman. Perry Carter Wainwright, the part in which Douglas Fairbanks played his way to fame, will be played by C. D. Whitman. James Phelan, boss in the Eighth Ward, a good-natured Irish man, with a heart that enjoys pick- nics and fights alike, is delightfully interpreted by Forest E. Buie. Four acts of a fascinating plot. A story of Politics and graft; of love, honesty, and public service, and a theme imminently suited for the com mencement season. Beautiful settings, electrical effects and artistic arrangement produce an appreciated and pleasing atmosphere. For a tale of intrigue, corruption, and triumphant square dealing that will prove a lasting effect to those that have the opportunity of going. Old boys are back on the Campus eagerly looking forward to an event already surrounded by cherished mem ories of former Senior Plays. KAHN CLOTHES Are Wonder fully Good Clothes Our Tape Awaits You !
