Everything is ready for the Comedy club's performance at the opera house tonight. For the past week the actors and actresses who go to make up the casts of the two plays, have been rehearsing every night, and their work warrants a clever performance being given tonight. If the entertainment given this evening is a success, a permanent club is to be organized for the purpose of presenting legitímate plays for charity and the benefit of ihe various popular organizations of the university. Since it has become generally known that a dramatic club is trying to get to its feet in the university, the management has been the recipiënt of dozens ot letters from people who are interested in amateur theatricals, who say tha they are glad such a move has been made and pledge their support io such a club, should it be formed. Everyone in the casts of the two plays to be given tonight fully realize that upon their work depends the future of a University comedy club, and their efïorts have been in accordance with that idea. They have worked hard and if this, their first appearance, is not a success, it will not be their fault. The two plays on this evening's program are as near classics as two farces could be. They have been presented time and again by amateurs, and in one of them ("Lend Me Five Shillings") Mr. Nat. Goodwin is rnaking a great hit this season. The full cast of this piece is as follows: Mr. Golightly.very much n love, Mr. Hackett; Capt. Phobbs, who has seen service, Mr. Harriman; Capt. Spruce, who has not, Mr. Cocker; George Moreland, "cousin George," the artist, Mr. Coleman; Sam, a waiter, Mr. Bourland. The ladies are Mrs. Major Phobbs, who is very diplomatic, Miss Bessie Dunster; Mrs. Capt. Phobbs, who is not as much so, Miss Viva Duffy. The second play is John Morton's clever two-act farce, "Woodcock's Little Game," which is cast as follows: Mr.Woodcock, tired of "life," Mr. Arthur Smith; Mr. Christopher Larkings, who loves muchly, Mr. James Handy; Mr.Adolphus Swansdown, who retires early, Mr. Harry Nightingale; David, Woodcock's man, who knows a thing or two, Mr. Robert Bourland; Mrs. Col. Carver, who longs to plunge into the social whirlpool, Miss Mabel Fraine; Mrs. Larkings, who likes to plan, Miss Dinx Dunster; Mrs. VVoodcock, a bright new bride, Miss Bessie Dunster; Susan, a maid, Miss Belle Norton. Remember that half the proceeds are to be turned over to the VVoman's Gym fund, and that the other half goes to the athletic association. The curtain rises promptly at 8:15 tonight (Friday). The music is to bu by the Chequamegon orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Leon Jones. The admission has been 1 placed at 35, 50 and 75 cents, so there is no use of anyone staving away. Go to the performance and help build the girls their gym.
