swayed this immense audience, tense
with religious enthusiasm, with a
power and ease that could only come
Of long experience. He directed the
singing, which was almost continuous,
spoke comforting words to those who
had come forward; pressed to his
kneers in prayer the man who had
come from the gallery and insisted IN
telling his past sins and continually
shook hands with those who pressed
around him.
Because of the lateness Of the hour
the meeting was brought to rather y
sudden close and the immense audience
filed out of the theater with enthus-
iasm in their hearts, singing hymns
and apparently utterly disregarding
the rain which was falling in torrents.

GRADUATES APPEAR
IN FAMOUS PLAY
BELASC0 THEATER IN HANDS
OF SENIORS
Performers Give Excellent Presenta-
ton of Sheridan's "The Rivals"
in the Face Of Many
Difficulties

Yesterday afternoon at the Belasco
theater the winter graduating class of
the Los Angeles high school entertained
themselves and their friends by satis-
factory production of Sheridan's fam
Gus comedy, 1.-THE Rivals" Every
seat in the auditorium was occupied.
Although from the theatrical point Of
view the entertainment was decided
success, the class spirit was rampant
feature which brought the audience
into almost as much prominence as the
actors.
The usual talent possessed by these
clever amateurs was placed at consid-
cradle disadvantage in order that the
class should derive it's full measure of
enjoyment from the afternoons festivi-
ties. To the schoolmates in the audi
ence it was always Edgar K. Brown
and not Sir Anthony Absolute on the
stage. 1t was not Sir Lucius O'Trig-
ger who kissed Lucy but John j. Nc
Lellan who kissed Clara Burritt, and it
was one of the surprising occasions for
great hilarity on the part of the audi
ence.
Under the circumstances the actors
did surprisingly WELL The role of Sir
Anthony Absolute, the fiery irascible
old English gentleman, was ably inter-
preted by Edgar Brown in a manner
showing careful study and thorough
training. Lester Hibbard as Captain
Jack Absolute handled a most difficult
role in an easy and able style.
Burgo Purcell gave an excellent rem
dering of the lines of Bob Acres and
thoroughly at home in the character
David, Fag and Thomas were well
handled by Fred Hodson, John d.
Holmes and Andrew Peterson respec-
lively.
Miss Ethel Davenport as Mrs. Mala-
prop won much merited applause by
her naturalness and graceful work.
Miss Clarice Merrill made a most
favorable impression in the part of
Lydia Languish and Miss Una Burritt
rendered Lucy in a pleasing and sin
cere manner.
Miss Alma Dodge and Mendel Silber-
berg gave most artistic portrayals of
their roles, although they found love-
making an arduous task before an
audience which refused to consider
them as Julia and Falkland.
The play was not given in the acting
version but from the original text in
five acts and twelve scenes. Preceding
the play class address was delivered
by Henry Goodwin and the class song
was sung at the close of the perform
ance. In the evening the young men
of the class entertained the young
women with a banquet at Levys.
