Sancho Panza Monday night a very generous body University people were treated to a al entertainment at the Columbia The re. Melchioc Lenyel's comedy based a part of Don Quixote was present with great effectiveness by Otis Skin r and a company of nearly two score pable players. The play begins with a prologue taken cm the novel. Through a dreamy ze of purple light and flickering sha ws, the almost gigantic silhouette of knight on horse back looms up gro squily. Seated on the ground beside is the figure of Sancho Panza, while arby is the faintly discernable form his faithful donkey. A quaintly morous dialogue follows, in which ncho bewails the consistent empti ss of his stomach and his master, Don tixote, glowingly portrays his project exploits to conquer the wicked world I recalls the days of ancient chivalry. comforts Sancho with the promise making him a governor over one of conquered countries, thus atoning the long years of trewarded ser e. he first act proper shows the pava n of the Duke of Baratavia. The is in a turmoil over the cruel tax laws the Duke complacently amuses him f by listening to the reading of Don ixote. He is very much dissatisfied h the conventional methods of govern and decides to abdicate. Just -it s moment Sancho Panza himself ap rs. A happy thought strikes the ke. Sancho is made governor of ratavia amid high acclamation on one d, and muttered curses on the other. ancho symbolizes the government by people. He seems to be a strange iding of peasant and king, of clow'n philosopher. Wars and rebellions prevented by removing their cause not by the use of military force. rhaps the most typical of Sancho's hisms is his plan for peace. He says let all of the Kings and waring chief s get together around a big table and e a feast of food and mutual fel v"ship. No man can fight him with om he has taken meat." We all rtily wish it were as simple as that. neho's formula of Work, Love, and ay "is well worth' thinking about, ugh it is by no means original. s to the qvality of acting, needless say, it was excellent. The play as entirety is more of a spectacle than drama of Indikidual personalities. nce, in general, not a high degree of trionic art was required. The cast vell trained but naturally some mem s stand out more than others. Lucile hn, as the young Duchess, was par larly charming. She is very petite. jewels always come in small. boxes. she is a 'real gem. Her lover, Gregory led by Herbert Delmore, is handsome graceful but not of very impres personality. here are many others worthy of ition but the unique character of cho's donkey is quite unforgetable. 'ays whimsical and ludicrous, he gives a feeling that he is possessed of nendous wisdom and undlerstaniding. lie costumery was gorgeous and wvell edl to the play.. While simple, the iery was very realistic and appro ite. Worthy of especial notice was lighting ef fets. This somewhat unt art was represented at its highest helped the general effect very ma ally. kinner, as usual, gave an excellent rpretatki of Sancho. Though niever l-spokeni, lie got every word over foot lights wvith great distinctness, Scast as a whole did not succeed in ig this. We do not feel that the 1l scene reached the degree of drama intensity that it should have. The ience 'was not quike spellbound ugh. F,veryone seems pleased, how r, and we believe the admission icy well spent. -U.s.c. THORNWELL CLUB. lie Thornwell Club met Thursday bat Flinn Hall.
