play, for the privilege of producing
which the club has had to pay the
usual royalty to the publishers.
The Professor, member of the fac
ulty Of Harvard university, is a tall
awkward, near sighted land SILENT
minded character, whose amorous CO
propensities are called into belated
action only at the solicitation of his
aunt, who thinks to have found a
good match for him, and it is his at
tempts to prosecute the campaign for
a wife along the lines laid down by
her, under the handicaps of near
sightedness, awkwardness and absent
minded simplicity, that precipitates
so many laughable situations through
out the play. The part is carried by
Mr.. Ed. Moore
Another mirth-provoking character
is Felix, whose awkwardness and
Bashfulness is only augmented by the
frantic efforts of his father to aid
his love making. Ray Bergeson's in
depreciation of this part is particular
ly happy.
Staples, the double dyed william and
ruffian, represented by Mr.. Choq-
etc. meets his just deserts at the
hands of Featherstone, a: detective,
disguised as an eccentric camera
fiend, which part is taken by Mr.. Will
Harris.
