PLAYLET IS BIG
HIT OF EASTERN
STAR PROGRAM
Appreciatiye Crowd APP
plauds Amateur Actors at .
New Auditorium.

The best thing on the excellent ANA
teur and professional vaudeville bill
presented before the members of Col
den Link Chapter No. 81. of the Order
Of the Eastern Star, and their friends.
in the New Auditorium last night was
the one-act playlet written by Etienne
Yored, OF this city, and acted by the
writer, Nat Unger and Miss Mabel
Scheuer, of New York. The sketch is
clever, showing considerable ability on
the part OF Mr.. Yored. who, in real
life, Is E. De Roy Koch, of this city.
The story of the play deals with an
artist, a maestro and a married man,
who inspires his beautiful young pupil
with love. She is an orphan, her only
protector. a cousin, who loves her. The
cousin warns Cassadine (thes a~rtist) of
this feeling of the girl for him, SO that
he Is prepared somewhat for her In
noqent confession. cassadine tells
Jamie that he is going to Italy, to
Assist, and she begs to go with him.
The curtain falls upon her final renun-
citation and his departure alone.
Miss Mabel S%cheuer, probably the
youngest Of leading lady amateurs on
the local stage, and we'll known for her
work both in former productions Of
The L~iberator' Inc IN other pieces, Is
possessed sof wonderful emotional
ability, and her acting throughout, in
her lighter and heavier scenes, was
admirably portrayed and well balanced.
Mr.. Unger was capable as the artist
cousin. keeping his acting in perfect
harmony with the others.

and company, professionals, in the far

| gram, a feature was the singing OF
! Miss Leah Lenore Kridel. Miss Kridel
possesses a voice Of more thar ordinary
richness and timbre, and her rendition
of my Laddie,' a Hight and airy Scotch
love song, was we'll received. She also
contributed violin solos. Miss Eleanor
Hendrickson and Bernard Larfot con-
tributed plano and vocal numbers. and
Louis Small won applause by his xylo-
phone playing.
