I Girls' Thrills Enthusiastic Audience at YW the production. ST. MATTHEW'S AID 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 comedine 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 Shotput, the girl athlete, played by Miss ViAnn Peterson, gave the needed frolicsome comedy to the play.

Miss Mary Heftman who appeared as "blue-blood" and debutante gave a superb performance in the role of the 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 Berekvam and Freida, who fancies herself as a reactionary, Miss Evelyn Timm in the role, lent sophistication and sharp wit as well as a calming influence on the other Miss Mary Morcomb who played the role of Alice, gave a realistic portrayal of naive coed who inspite of her charm became the victim of the murderer. Her death was one of the dramatic highlights of the evening. Two frightened pledges portrayed by the Misses Evelyn Ashelin and Lorraine Engel, earned the sympathy of the audience as they were continuously brushed into the background. Much of the credit for the success of the play was due to the director, Mrs.

Richard Anderson, and to' other members of the Young Adult Club who assisted in St. Matthew's Ladies Aid will meet Thursday at 2:30 p.m. in the church parlors. Mrs. Gust Klavitter and Mrs.

(P) George Dietsch, 54, who walked away from a prison camp in 1935 and then lived quie ly for 22 years in Minnesota and Iowa, was given a nine months sentence today for ing from prison. Dietsch pleaded guilty, to the charge before Circuit William O'Connell. In sentencing Dietsch, the judge said such action was unfortunate after the prisoner's "good life" during his long freedom, but he said the ends of justice must be served. The judge said he would be willing to recommend clemency to shorten Dietsch's term. The sentence was milder than usual.

Ordinarily prisoners are penalized 12 to 18 months additional time for escaping from prison. The nine 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 months. Executive clemency by Gov. Vernon Thomson could shorten that waiting period. Paul A.

Hemmy of Jeneau, appointed by the court to defend Dietsch, said he would apply immediately for clemency. Dist. Atty. Bruce Rasmussen of Dodge County indicated he would not oppose the application. Dietsch was sent back to the state prison at Waupun where he has been since.
