Little Miss Cynthia Monroe, the IL
year old daughter of Judge and Mrs
Lee Monroe, is the latest Topekan to
make q bid for fame as playwright,
a producer, and an actress. Her efforts
in this line eliminated last night at
the Monroe residence on Harrison
street with the presentation, before
large and enthusiastic audience, of
two act playlet from her pen, entitled
"A Mistake" which was acted by her
self, Frances Jones, Margaret Ray,
Harriet Risteen, Edith Switzer, Fay
Eriedburg, Mildred Quinton and Jessie
Gilchrist None of the embryo stars
are over IA years old, but they dressed
and acted the parts of mature women
in a way that literally brought down
the house" time and time again with
upFoarious applause that seemed to be
most appreciative and that's more
than many real actors and actresses
do. The play might be called a so
ciety drama of the cosmopolitan sort
because such characters as Mrs. John
d Rockefeller, Mrs. Reggie Wander
biIt, Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish and others
hObnobbed with each other in spirit
of great comraderie. The play con-
cerned the loss by Mrs. Rockefeller of
her purse containing a trifle in the
way OF pin money to the amount OF
5000. After the loss OF this purse
had been discussed at an aftern Don re
ception where the ladies of ''class and |
quality" had gathered. and during |
which they ate real ice cream and |
cake to the apparent distress of the |
younger members of the audience who |
sat in the front seats and on q level /
with the stage. It was discovered by a |
visiting child at the Rockefeller's that /
the purse had merely been mislaid. |
John D. was portrayed by Miss Fran /
ces Jones, and she broke all Rookie |
Teller precedents by giving the finder 7
of the purse IS bill Among the /
striking INES OF the play were those
where Mrs Rockefeller referred to |
John D. as "lovey," Jack Johnny" |
and the like. After the play proper. |
Mrs. Rockefeller, portrayed by the |
playwright, and John D.. with two !
others in the cast. put on a sort OF a /
vaudeville stunt which consisted of an |
automobile song and a wild dash |
across the stage in a small automobile. |
Certainly no better entertainment has
been presented in Topeka in many a |
day.
