"Her Chance" is the name of the "play, which is in three acts, and deals with tho effect of environment on helpless girls in largo cities. It will be staged in the spring by the two societies. The two literary clubs of the university, uni-versity, wishing to encourage good composition among the students and to present in the spring a play written writ-ten by a student, offered a prize early in the season. The inducement brought out two specially strong plays. Besides Miss Stone's there was a play depicting In most vivid style the life of the Hopi Indians during the invasion of their country by the Navajo tribes. This play will be presented pre-sented this year under the direction of Dean Byron Cummings of the school of arts and sciences. The story is written In blank verse and, according to Professor Cummings, is worthy of the best production the university uni-versity can give it. The authors of this play are Alice Elder and Mabel Fraer. |
