Vauehan. all past rrnnrl knipht An enthusiastic audience witnessed the performance of the mystery drama, "Nine Girls," produced by the Young Adult Club of the YWCA, Monday evening at the YW. The skilled cast created tension and excitement artfully relieved by hilarious comedy. The all-girl cast of college sorority girls had the audience gasping with excitement with a laugh to break the spell when the play built up to even more frightening terror. Miss Jeanette Otis as the "Shakespearian actress" brought glamor to the stage while the girl athlete, played by Miss VlAnn Peterson, gave the needed frolicsome comedy to the play.

Miss Mary Heftman who appeared as a "blue-blood" and debutante gave a superb performance in the role of the one who untangles the mystery. Mary, the girl from the wrong side of the tracks enacted by Miss Eileen Peterson, let the audience in on her criminal secrets while keeping the cast in complete ignorance, and Jane, the medical student, played by Miss Evelyn served.

The sentence was milder than usual. Ordinarily prisoners are penalized 12 to 18 months additional time for escaping from prison. The nine-months sentence, plus the fact that Dietsch had served three years of his original 1-5 year sentence for burglary, means he would be eligible for parole consideration in 414 months. Executive clemency by Gov. Vernon Thomson could shorten that waiting period.
