On Friday, February 14, the girls of the Alpha Kappa Psi presented a three-act farce comedy entitled, "Three Fits," before a very appreciative audience, and in a most credible manner. Fit the first was thoroughly characteristic of a crowd of dormitory college girls. And if Chaudoin life in any way resembles the initial fit certain Conrad Hall inmates have a few to envy us. The unfortunate ending was far more than counterbalanced by the mirth and glee manifested both before and after the appearance of an alias Miss Martien. To climax the act, the audience witnessed' a charming spot light effect, which was indeed captivating. Among the cast of Fit the first were Misses Pelot, Taylor, Edna Lewis, Elizabeth Lewis, Chappell, Baron, Mace, King. Fit the second, a three character act, was not only unique in that it was original, but was full of life, and was most cleverly executed. Old maids, young wooers and even the wooed saw a significance lying behind and much deeper than the "fan pans". Miss Inez Barron played the role of Miss Winthrop to perfection and as close seconds came the "ever anxious spinster in the person of Miss Whiting and the ladies man, Guy Dalton, known by us as Mr. Rosenberg, who by the way was so fortunate as to play the only male part in the entire performance. But the third act taken from Shakespeare concluded in a striking way the evening's entertainment. The roles were played with precision and skill and showed the result of some arduous rehearsing. As a unit the "Three Fits" was a production of merit, and much praise is due Miss Whiting who claims the honor of originating them, and to the girls of Alpha Kappa Psi, through whose as- sidious efforts the performance was executed so admirably. # VESPER SERVICES THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. The vesper services which are held every Sunday afternoon in the auditorium, are being better attended than ever before. Last Sunday fully 900 people gathered to hear Dr. Hulley talk on the sixth commandment. It was the largest crowd of the year. The music of the vesper services is excellent. The choir is larger than ever before, and Prof. Phillips is giving some splendid anthems. The solo work of Miss Buttorff, Mr. Seagroatt, Miss Allen and Miss Haynes is a special attraction, as well as the mixed and male quartets, and the ladies trio. The vesper services are very popular and highly successful. # Once is not a habit; but it is a debut. SIGMA NU INSTALLATION. BIGGEST EVENT EVER IN DE LAND It is here! The Music Festival! The event of bi-ennial, and perennial interest! We have heard other oratorios presented in the Auditorium, but "King Olaf" is the best. The wonderful singing of the Stetson-DeLand Choral Society, conducted by Prof. Phillips and the beautiful solos by Mme. Dimitrieff, Mr. VanHoose, and Mr. Kellerman, are the talk of all who were pr< DeLand is highly fortunate in having such artists in her midst, and the students of Stetson University are to be doubly congratulated in possessing such opportunities of hearing operatic talent of the highest class. Tonight is the Artists Concert. We shall be favored with hearing the soloists again, who captivated our hearts upon their initial appearance, j The program is a catchy one—one that could hardly be excelled. We are looking forward to this i event with much eagerness. Big Plans for Next Week. Tuesday evening the Misses Taylor entertained informally.
