Kappa Deltas Play
Recently a delightful one-act com
edy, “The Rainbow Kimona” was pre
sented by the Bessie Tift Kappa Del
tas, ’ .
There were nine characters, and
each wore a kimona corresponding to
of the colors in hte rainbow. The
effect was spectacular, yet portrayed
viv.idly the character. of ' the "new
girl” in Miss f’enelope’s School on the
Hudson. Louise Wells, Kappa Delta
Prseident, showed unusual dramatic
ability in the sleep-walking scene, and
Julia Strickland, as Nellie Van Tas-
scll, President of the Rainbow So
ciety, was delightful as hostess. Mar
garet Easterling played the role of
“Rose”, the little colored girl, and ad
ded a ne. touch of humor to the play,
as well as displaying much ability in
the art of acting. The other parts
were equally a* well taken—Frances
Mason, as.the “RomCo,” and Lawana
Geiger as the “Judge,” kept the audi
ence in . a continual uproar. Louis
Summerall’s best acting was as'“Shy-
lock”, while Lanette 'Layson wais in
teresting as “Juliette.” Evelyn Wil
liams made herself famous in her
speech on “advertising.” .. The play
was greatly .enjoyed, and considered
one of the best that has been staged.
It was pnder the direction of Frances
Johnson. ' '
SAVANNAH, GA.
(This is the second of a seriea of
' appreciations of 'Georgia cities).-
Since 1733, when ’ Oglethorpe
founded Savannah, the first Euro
pean settlement in Georgia, this-
city has steadily grown into a
thriving commercial center of 100,-
000 inhabitants, being famous as
a shipping port, a “city beautiful,”
and fairly buried in an interesting
flood of historical events.
Ranking second to New. Orleans
as the most important commercial
city in the South, and having a
waterfront of seven and one half
miles, Savannah handles the larg
est naval stores trade in the world
and is the greatest cotton port on
the entire Atlantic coast. The
largest sea-going vessels, repre
senting practically- every country
in the world, load .at the city
wharves and steamers run regular
ly to Boston, New York, and other
northern \ points. Approximately
112,000,000 is invested in Savannah
manufacturing interests.
