Shear Dickens Script For Yule Skit Tonight Col. and Mrs. Wall, Mr. and Mrs. Fauvre, Mr. and

Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Hemenway, Mr. and Mrs. Mayer Among Party Hosts.

| By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON An ingenious group of play doctors from the Lambs Club’s ranks has taken a few liberties with Dickens’ original “Christmas Carol” script for the diversion of the Lambs flocking to the Columbia Club for the Christmas

frolic this evening.

Consider, for instance, the amazing metamorphosis of Tiny Tim who, no longer “crippled and dwarfed of body,” is played by that

: sprightly little feminine tap dancer, Dorothy Howard. To add to the

fun, Marie, the humble Cratchitt’s love-sick daughter, has been ° presented with a trio of swains—the butcher boy (Wilson Mothershead), the baker boy (Edward G. Stokely) and the fisher boy (Albert O. Deluse). Mrs. F. Noble Ropkey is to play Marie and J. Perry Peek

is cast as Cratchitt. In keeping with the Dickens

theme, the Simon Legree-ish

Scrooge (Percy H. Weer) will be haunted by three chipper phantoms in the persons of Paul Starrett as No. 1 ghost of the past; Mr. Ropkey, No. 2 ghost of the present, and Robert Stempfel, No. 3 ghost of

the future. Mrs. Irving M. Fauvre prima donna role and Mrs. Meek will With 275 Lambs planning to dine
