Show Vol. IIEfje EtonianPage 147Unlike most notable theatrical companies, the Dramatic Club has always found it desirable, nay, even wise, "to do the provinces" before trying the metropolitan temper. This season three trips were made by the Club. At Lehi the members received a surfeit of praise and congratulations. It was there, by the way, that "The Monk" was made the official "owed" of the Club, a song rendered at sundry times, much to the disgust of one punctilious William, manager of the Club. At Toole, the Lehi experience was repeated. In the city of Morgan, Morgan County, the audience did not boil violently with enthusiasm; it merely bubbled and simmered softly; yet it was highly pleased. After the performance the Club ascended to the attic, and there in real moonlight danced itself tired. Then the girls marched lock-step around the theater, all the time singing "The Monk," as you may guess, still much to the disgust of William. Altogether these trips have been bright spots in the theatrical experience of the 'Varsity players.This year the Club loses three of its strongest and most valuable members. Miss Edna Harker, Will Mifflin and Dick Hart all leave college this year. How faithfully and how well these three have worked for Utah dramatics, only those closely in touch with the Club and its work can tell. It is only they, too, who can appreciate the loss and the difficulty of filling next year three vacancies so long loyally and enthusiastically filled. |
