Mask and Wig Show Appears In Boston Friday Evening

Ben Franklin, Pony Chorus Featured In Fifty-sixth Penn Musical Comedy

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Benjamin Franklin returns to his home town of Boston Friday night in the fifty-third annual performance of the Mask and Wig Club of the University of Pennsylvania.

"High as a Kite," starring Franklin, the University's founder, who started the institution two hundred years ago, is the story of his matrimonial troubles with the sister of his ward, which are finally frond out by Marie Antoinette. Main attractions of the frolicsome show are the clever routines, including a minuet for the famous "lady" chorus, soughs by Clay Poland, author of "Stop! Its's Wonderful"; and the contrast of 1740 costumes and 1940 dialogue.

The musical will be pr educed at the Boston Opera House and tickets may be purchased at the Hotel Somerset, the Wilder Tester, and the Opera House.
