A.A.U.W.Fund Is Given Boost by Guild Hall Music and Drama Make lTp Program, Comic Skits Given Money to Benefit University Women Individual Loans of $f»0 W ill Be Advanced to Local Students Tlio local scholarship fund of tlio A morion n Assoointion of University Women was aided last night by the presentation of two plays by the Guild Hall players and violin and oollo solos by Misses Esther Wieks and Miriam Little. The musical and drama program opened with two violin selections by Esther Wieks, aeeompnnied by Miss Ethel Wicks. The selections were “Canzonet-ta” and “Andante Ro ligiosi.” “All on a Rummer’s Lay,” by Gulin Clements, was a sketch, rather than a play. It was lightly comic, and not very wisely chosen. It was hardly the type of play that ap peals to an audience of university people, and did not do justice to the ability of the participants. They have done much better work in other things. Cello Solos Played “Aria,” and “Village Song,” two oollo solos, wore rendered by Miss Miriam Little, accompanied by Aurora Totter Underwood. Mrs. Ottilie T. Soy bolt, head of the drama department, expressed her apprecia tion of the musical artists who so kindly offered their help. “A Wedding,” highly entertain ing comedy by John Kirkpatrick, was by far the most entertaining play. It was acted without any sug gestion of the amate'ur, and kept the audience in continual laughter. It was the story of frantic prepara tions for a wedding, and the inci dents that nearly led to a tragic ending of the romance. Program Listed The program of the evening fol lows in detail: Violin solo, Esther Wicks; accom panist, Ethel Wicks. Canzonetta, by d'Ambrosio; An dante Religiosi, by Popper. “All on a Summer’s Day,” by Colin Clements. One, Roberta Wilcox; Two, Thel ma Byckman; Three, Edith Pear son; Mammy, Mildred McGee.
