Although the play has been present

teurs, nevertheless all were entertain

star Of the evening although a number
OF the others did their parts well. Miss
French had a certain ease of manner
which is not often seen in an amateur.
She has a very attractive personality
and this added to her success of last
evening. Miss Mildred Kuhn as Lydia
Languish was good. Special mention
should be made Of the work done by
the maid. the part being taken by
Miss Martha Williams. She was also
one OF the hits of the evening. Miss
Marguerite Price as Julia. also pleased
with her excellent Interpretation Of
the part. Mr.. Ed Cox as Sir Anthony
Absolute occasioned much laughter by
the numerous passions he flew into
when his son Captain Absolute" the
part being taken by Clifford Plummer,
refused to marry the girl of the old
mans choice. Mr.. Blair Converse as
Bob Acres" was one of the best of
the entire cast. Phares Hiatt. Irwin
Coffin. Frank Schalk, and Willard
Kemper. also deserve much praise.
Mr. Howard Steinkamp as "Sir Lucius
O'Trigger" made decided hit and at
once captured the audience by his
ease on the stage and also by the
excellent manner in which he render
ed his part. The affair was a decid-
cd success and the class is to be con-

furnished the music.
