Princeton Men Give Clever Play at Murat

Motion picture* of the campus of Princeton College, class yells by the students and an enthusiastic audience added “P?P“ to the presentation of the musical farca, “They Never Come Back,’’ at the Murat last night, by the Triangle Club of Princeton. The entire production was from the hands of undergraduates of the college and the* tuneful melodies and snappy action had no flavor of amateur theatricals. The cast, made up of the Triangle men, which included a number of feminine roles and a breezy chorus, did splendid work. 'The formula of a band of scientists to bring to life mammies of Peru formed the nucleus of the plot. A series of complications caused by the entanglement of a young American in love with a charming young woman, with the band of “revivers,” and the vying of members of the party with each other to prove that each hail discovered the marvelous lifegiver, all went to make np a splcey, langh-prcduclng comedy. J. K. Forgan led the cast and made a hit with his cocky American freshness. Among the other players were W. H. Smith, sn awkward bellboy; E. H. Wever, the English savant, and L. P. Yandell, F. T. Corbett and P. Lloyd Smith, in feminine roles, all of whom interpreted their parts in pleasing fashion.
