The Tucson Dramatic Club gave
their second performance OF the sea-
son Mt the Opera House last night.
The Circus Girl IL not the play that
KNOBS o. Tennessee" was. although
they are defiicult of comparison, one
being a farce-comedy and the other
a melodrama of the extreme sort. The
Circus Girl is nardly play that might
be called wise selection for home
talent. The Dramatic Clup might hav'
selected from those plays available TO
amateurs, one that would have given
the players better opportunities.
As II was. The Circus Girl did not
do Justice to those who took the parts
The members OF the club had an OPP
portuh;ty to show what talent they
really possessed when they produced
"Knoos O'Tennessce" but only few
of the dramatics had this chance In
last nights piece. The play was even
iy comical all the way through but
was strikingly lacking in amusing
situations. At the end OF the second
act, all of the women on the stage
tainted. keeping the men busy support
ing them. This was perhaps the most
comical situation In the play.
The leading part in the Circus Girl
In q difYicult one, so much 80. that even
MIR. Winstanley must have given q
great deal of time to preparations. A
Arthur Hummingtop. married man
who had put his foot into heap oi
trouble by taking q walk through the
park with circus girl. MIR. Winstaniey
had part that compelled him to be on
the stage nearly all the time and the
center OF the action. As the play pro-
creased Mr.. Winstalney's part became
more dificuit but he was always equai
| to II.
Miss Mayme HoR as the Circus
Girl'' could hardly have been I'M
proved upon. She had every word and
action OF her part down 10 fine point
even TO the drinking Of wine In the
first act and the smoking OF cigarette
In the second. The scene In which shs
participated with Sheldon Morris, q
much spoiled mama's boy and fop. was
the best In the play. Miss Hon and
Mr.. Morris would make hit In such 4
vaudeville sketch before any audience
Mr.. Morris was the funniest character
In the play, He possesses -.4ir,s
talent.
