They are the children who played the part of the "Kitchen Boys" in the Third Act of "Jack and the Beanstalk," the Young Mens' Christian Association's Pantomime now being presented in the West Lounge.

Their names are not mentioned in the Cast of Characters. But, in the Third Act of the most popular show the Y.M.C.A. Amateur Dramatic Society has ever produced, they com- pletely steal the show.

Starbuck shares the comedy hon- with "Bob" Henderson, who plays "Dizzy," a somewhat subordin- ate role which has been lifted to a leading one by the sheer humour in Henderson's interpretation.
