"Miss Futterer Has Gift of
Genuine Actress
"Quality Street," Sir James M.
Barries delightful play, was presented
Wednesday evening, 'April 21, at Chancellor's hall, by Miss Agnes Futterer,
director of dramatics, before a large
audience.
Reviewing it, William If. Haskell,
dramatic critic of the Knickerbocker
Press, wrote:
"Miss Futterer can, by herself, stage
a play with the combined agencies of her
voice, her gestures and your imagination.
"Anyone who recalls Maude Adams'
delightful performance in this lender,
old-fashioned, humorous bit of sentiment,
must necessarily expect a ureal deal of
one who would conjure the whole play
from a bare platform, two chairs and a
table. Miss Futterer realized that Wednesday night. She peopled the platform
with Phoebe Throcsscl, 'Phoebe of the
Ringlets'; with Miss Susan Throessel,
her older sister; with the bluff and hearty
Captain Valentine Brown, and with the
inquiring Misses Willouehby. You saw
the blue and white room in duality street,
where lived the Misses Throessel, and
you felt the gentle trend of quite unrealized mating Influence that came to

"Miss Futterer has the rift of the

It comes with changing inflections of
voice; with the postures and the mental
attitude that comnrehends each character
and lives them all. To anyone who did
not know 'Quality Street' as a play, the
reading was surely a pleasure; to those
who did. it was the welcome remembrance of a dcliuht."
College Students Publish Two Books in Year;
• 'Pedagogue" and Book of Verse Are Attractive
The publication of two student-made
books in one year is a creditable performance-for any college the size of
State. Thai these two representatives of
the college—the Pedagogue and the Rook
of Student Verse—wiil appear within
two weeks of each other, makes the
achievement all the more notable.
Of the I92n Pedagogue only one thing

to make each annual better than the one

the size and quality of the book. As
State Culler has grown, so the Pedagogue has grown, always a fitting representative of the college, always a storehouse of memories for years to come.
Minnie Grcenaway and Carolyn Coleman,
