Norman Hackett-

OF Norman Hackett, who appears at
the Grand in Classmates March 1,
the Springfield Qu.) News prints the
following:
Norman Hackett portrays well the
character of Duncan Irving. a West
Point cadet, and Henry Fearing as Bert
Staffard. the rival of Irving and villain
of the play, is very good Willard
Louis as Bubby Dumble of Brooklyn
and E D. Cromwell as Silent Clay are
good supports for the lead and the fun
furnished by Bubby is welcome as a
relief from some of the stronger parts
of the play, although this must not be
taken to imply that the stronger parts
are unwelcome.
Doris Mitchell as Sylvia Randolph.

fight. is q good character and the man.
