A NIGHT OUT.

UNIVERSITY MEN OFF THE

CHAIN

Tho University students had a night out sit the PaVace Theatre, Sydney, on May 17th. They \oruled a large portion of tlf c audience at the concluding performance of “Quality. Street’-’b.v the Broiiyh-Flcinming Company, and amused t’ieinst?lves in witless fashion by interrupting the performers, and at the intervals between the acts by lowering fishing lines from the family circle, singing popular choruses, and so on. Soycral times the actors liarj to wait for silence, but these interruptions were, after all, not so pronounced as might have been feared— from University

■s?;udonts, At tho end of one of the lines there dangled a Inigo lobster, boaring the label, “Wanted on the voyage.” Tho enthusiasm never wavered, and in tho school scene, when Miss Beatrice Day, as Susan Tlirossell, exhibited hor weariness of the Latin lessons, and exclaimed, “This dreary Latin I I’d like to have the whipping of the man who invented it,” there was a perfect storm of

sympathetic applause from the boisterous youths in tho gallery. Handsome floral tributes were presented to the ladies of tlio east, one of the undergraduates, in his gown, walking on to the stage to fulfil his graceful duty, and thus making a somewhat nervous first appearance beforo tho footlights. Of course, at the end of the night there wore loud calls for a speech, for to the average playgoer it appears to he the climax of human happinoss to hear a few words addressed to him by an actor or actress from tho stage on the last night of a play, and University undergraduates form no exception to the rule. Hence Mr. Norman McKcown had to come forward and say a few words, and the students then came downstairs into tlio street happy, singing a chorus.
