A hard worker, Mr.. Still nevertheless
has managed to extract good deal of
pleasure out of life, and, while he has
been successful. those who know him
best state that he does not measure
success by mans bank account. He
has always taken an active interest in
politics, serving both as chairman and
secretary of the Tate County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee. He has
also represented some of the leading
papers of the South as correspondent.

Caste" last night It Is one of those plays
which afford opportunities to many people.
The law of compensation has every oppor-
tunity to assert itself. If one or two play
ers are Indifferent - even bad - there are
numerous other characters to invite interest
and sustain confidence in the organization
as whole. While there are no individual
triumphs In this production of Caste" the
average of efficiency is high. The perform
ance of Mr.. Arden is characterized by his
usual discreet repoSe-a repoSe which at
times becomes so studied that it savors of
seif-conscousness. Miss Hall invested the
principal feminine role with that youthful
charm which is the most conspicuous and
attractive quality of her work. Miss Mel
Vile gave another of her finely polished
portrayals of naughty femininity. Mr.. Post
had the role of the drunken father, which
he played with the ability which his pre-
Vious performances led his admirers to eX-
pect. His conception of the character is
along lines so broad as to almost suggest
burlesque at times. Mr.. Worsely as Ger
ridge showed that he is not limited to the
