Mr.. Bob

MIR. Bob pleasing two.act com.
edy, was presented last night at the
Duncan by a local caste under the di-
rection Of Miss Blanche Rothgeb. A
fair-sized audience was present and
thoroughly enjoyed the clever pro
duclion.
Miss Margie Hume as Patty, the
maid, was the bright particular
star of the constellation. The young
lady has unusual natural histronic
ability and TO this she added such
careful eloculionary training that all
her work on the stage is pleasure,
"Scottie' Mcintyre made a hit as
the much dined and sadly confused
law clerk. Miss G.. Murray. made a
stunning looking and entirely captivat-
ing ancient maiden lady. Miss Louise
Reed as her incorrigible and lovely
niece was excellent Miss Jane La
Rue as "Mr. Bob" Charles Miner as
the unaccountable nephew, and Ed
ward McWenie as the butler were all
good.
The best evidence of the careful and
thorough training of the actors was
the smooth and unhating manner in
which the action Of the play was car
ried forward.
The initial rehearsal for "Mr. Bob"
took place very short time ago, but
assiduous practice was. kept up and
ahe results We're pleasingly manifest
last night,
The money netted from the produc.
ton will go to the ladies' home.
