David Garrick,
Those who attended the presenta
tion of “David Garrick” by Leland
Powers last Saturday evening went
away entirely satisfied. The full
appreciation of the good-sized
audience made itself known unmis
takably by the applause which so
frequently greeted Mr. Powers.
The rapid change of voice and
manner, from one character to
another,and the clear and character
istic enunciation of every word made
the impersonation appear all the
more like a real play, bringing out
in a masterful way the varied
peculiarities and personalities of all
the characters. All the persons
represented in the action stood out
as real persons of everyday life, and
the simplicity and effectiveness of
the impersonation were splendid.
The commercialism of old Ingot and
his friends, the ability of Garrick as
an actor, the emptiness of the
English dandy were all portrayed
most effectively.
Mr. Powers seemed utterly un
conscious of his medium, and gave
a true representation without any at
tempt at melodramatic effect. The
secret of Mr. Powers success is that
he knows just what his audience
wants and that he gives it to them
in an intersting manner.
Inter-collegiate Debate.
The Debating Club has chosen
the question sor the debate with
Dickinson which will decide the
championship of the league. As
Dickinson has the choice of sides, it
will not be known for some time which
side we must defend. The debate
will take place-on the last Friday in
April on neutral ground, which has
not yet been determined upon. The
question is : Resolved, that corpora
tions engaged in foreign or inter
state commerce should be lisenced
by the Federal government and be
subject to its control and supervision.

Life in the Channel Islands.

Society held last Tuesday evening

description of the group of islands

islands.
