The Dramatic Club will give the first performance of its spring production in Brattle Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. The three one-act plays which will be presented under the direction of Professor Richard Ordynski are "The Florist, Shop" by Miss Winifred Hawkridge, "Toy Soldiers" by Miss Agnes Von Slyck and "Garafelia's Husband" by Miss Esther W. Bates. "The Florist Shop" is a laughable comedy of unusual merit, having for its central theme the fulfillment of a spinster's belated romance through the schemes of a pretty flower girl. "Toy Soldiers" is a "war play" written from a novel viewpoint and portraying the lighter side of the present European crisis in an amusing manner. In con- trast to the comedy of the other two plays "Garafelia's Husband" is in a more serious vein. In a number of strong scenes it pictures the love of a New England wife for her dying husband, a love which remains firm through every crisis and which in the end is rewarded by the recognition in craved.
