SENIOR8 PLAY SHAW WITH SPIRIT
AMU8ING  SATIRE  ON
MODERN   WOMAN
The Russian Choir of the Cathedral of
St. Nicholas, New York, held a concert
In the Chapel last Friday afternoon,
which was the gift of Mr. Charles R.
Crane. Some thirty singers, men and
boys, sang chants belonging to the regu-
lar Greek service lead by M. Ivan T. Go-
rokhoff, of Moscow. They wore the bril-
liant red, blue and gold uniforms of the
church.
The program contained parts of the
church service set to music by modern
composers, Tchaikovsky, Rakhmaninoff
and others, including a composition of
M. Gorokhoff himself. The Creed, with
music by Gretcbaninoff, was sung as a
solo with pianissimo accompaniment of
the choir.
Novel  Conducting
M. GorokhofTs conducting was the
more remarkable inasmuch as he did not
make use of a baton, but nevertheless had
complete control of the choir. The contra-

Bernard Shaw, always satirising, has

Never Can Tell," presented by the Seniors
on Friday night.

Shaw humor is difficult to get across
the footlights and, although It did not al-
ways succeed in this performance, the in-
dividual parta in the play were carefully
worked up and played with much spirit.
That the whole did not completely hang
together Is probably due to the unusual
difficulties encountered by the Seniors in
choosing and rehearsing the play.
"You Never Can Tell" depicts the
amusing situation brought about by the
meeting of a celebrated authoress with
her divorced husband, whom her three
grown up children do not remember. The
awkward moments are smoothed over by
the tactful William, and the solution of
the case is brought about by bis son, the
banister. Bohun.
Individual Acting Good
L. Klein gave the   Shavian touch ad-
mirably  in the part of the sympathetic
and comical William.    As Mrs. Clandon.
L. Worthlngton acted an amusing sketch
of the would-be progressive woman.    E.
Bryne gave Individuality to the middle-
: aged bachelor. Fitch, and spoke her lines
excellently.    The love plot  was the at-
I tempt of the detached Gloria to preserve
I her Ideals In spite of the love of the clever
I young   dentist,   Valentine.     This   young
, man was entertainingly played by A. Van
Horn, and the difficult object of his affec-
| tiona with less finish by F. Hitchcock.

Win Final Gams from Freshmen 15 to 13
1917, by downing 1919 15 to 13 in the
third game of the finals on Monday, cap-
tured the basket-ball championship for
the year. There were many fouls and the
playing was careless, but full of pep and
fight and the score was always very close.
The Juniors retained a slight lead after
the early part of the game, but neverthe-
less victory meant a real struggle for
them.
1917 won the basket-ball finals last year
