The class play, MIR Bob. a com
edy in two acts. came mp TO the eN-
pectations Of everybody and pleased
l The crowd immensely. That the
graduating class has much histrionic
3 ability in its ranks there Is no Ques-
tion. The performance of the bright
comedy was smooth. and there was
no dragging at any point, Every
member of the east took the lines of
4 his or her character with ease
Mr.. Bob consists of two acts of
i humorous complications in which are
woven two or three love affairs and
/ the troubles OF quite number of

maid fond of cats. is expecting the
arrival of an architect named Brown.
with plans for carrying out her pet

tute cats Katherine and Phillip, her
! niece and nephew, are in state of
u expectancy concerning the arrival OF

The part OF Phillip Royson was ta-
ken by John Mcclure The charac-
ter of the biE-hearted, lovesick and
worried young man was cleverly por-
trayed by Mr.. Mcclure. He was al
| ways satisfactory. Robert Brown,
the clerk OF Benson a Benson, whose
troubles We're never-euding, was i'm
personatcd by Ray Hunter. That
Ray did justice to the part there Is no
doubt The part was perhaps the
most difficult of the play, but Ray
made n as interesting as IT should
be- The character is humorous one
and requires considerable talent to
make it pleasing at all times Hunt
er met with the approval of the

Price. as Jenkins, the diguiGed but
Ter. was the comedian of the evening
He was rich. Not a movement he
made failed to create "a storm Of
laughter He carried the part sue
cessfully. and nothing brought him
down from his pedestal of strained
, dignity.
Miss Mary Dean was Miss Becky
Luke. the cranky old maid Miss
Becky. as portrayed by Miss Dean,
was indeed a typical old maid. The
lhigh-kcyed voice, the prim move
ments. the forlorn air and the other
necessary characteristics We're not
missing. The character was well ta-
ken.
