“The First Lady of the Land,” the play to be presented this year by the junior class, is a four-act comedy, dealing with a period in the past | history of our country. It is a story ! of love and politics, with two natioal | figures of that day, James Madison and Aaron Burr, then Beau Brummels J of American life, contesting for the love of Dolly Todd, later the Dolly Madison of history.
In short it is a political fairly tale in which two of the principal characters live "happily ever afterward.” When the play opens Dolly Todd is a widow, in Philadelphia, taking lodgers, among whom is Aaron Burr. In the third act the foreign diplomats of the day meet at a dinner at which Thomas Jefferson, then President of the United States is the truly democratic host. Although Jefferson’s name is frequently mentioned by the characters in the play, he never appears in person.
In selecting the cast for the play, Miss Dalzell has worked for con-
trasting types. The character of Dolly Todd, the central figure in the play, is a combination of Quaker demureness and Irish wit. Her friends are men and women of pronounced individuality.
After over a week of tryouts. Miss Dalzell has decided upon the following cast: James Madison, Harvey Wendt; Aaron Burr, Harold Brewster; Bohlen Pinckney, Verner Johnson; Sir Anthony Merry, Emil Hartford; Don Carlos Martinez, Marquis D’Yrujo, Henry Mahan; Mynheer Van Berckel, Ralph Burnight; Jennings. Earl Prior; Louis Andres Pichon. Clement Storey: Dolly Todd Ella Mayo; Sally McKean, Araxie Jamgochian; Mrs. Sparkle. Greta Palmer; Sophia Sparkle. Ruth Durkee; Vrou Van Berckel, Ella Carle-ton; Clotilde, Ruth Felts; Lady Angela Merry, Mildred Bulfinch; Ena Ferrar, Esther Hofert.
The play will be produced at the Gamut Club, at Eleventh and Hope streets, on the nights of Decembet 7 and 8.
Wendell La Due, manager of the play, states that in spite of all efforts he was unable to secure the Little Theatre, since it has been leased foi two months by the Players' Producing company, who would not consider the offer of the junior class On the first night, sections will probably be reserved for students and organizations of the university who will attend with rally spirit.

Each gymnasium class is divided into two teams, and these teams play a series of games. Later the champions of the various gymnasium classes will meet in an eliminative tournament to decide the championship.
