 ....................... Miss Helen Futile credit to Birmingham and the Bir- mingham High school, as well as the University of Alabama, was the Black friars' presentation of Twelfth Night" as seen last night at the Jefferson. The best members of the cast, not including, of course, Prof. F. D. Losey, the director were of Birmingham and formerly stu dents at the local high school.
 Too much credit cannot be given the versatile amateurs who composed the company. The acting was uniformly ex- cellent and indicative of careful train ing, and the play was carried of from overture to finale with professional fa- 'cility. The play was given in the unre- svised version as regards the lines and was of necessity of some length, but no part of it can he said to have been tire some. The interest, in fact, was admir- ably sustained, much to the credit of the producers. Frequent applause given the efforts of the company spoke highly of the appreciation felt by the audience.
 Barring Professor Losey as non-ama- teur, the palm for all-around excellence must be awarded Miss Mary Kate Chies, whose interpretation of Viola was little short of artistic, not to say clever Miss Chies handled a trying role with an ease and grace that betoken real talent, and such as may rarely be seen in amateur theatrics. Miss Chiles, it may be of in- terest to note, is a graduate of the local high school.
 Harry Sepsalon. another former High school student, mhst be ranked among the best of the male members of the cast. His comedy work in the role of Sir An drew ASuecneek was quaint and original, and partook little of cut-and-dried anna teur precedents. His efforts served much to enliven the action, and did not com pare unfavorably with the work of Pro- lessor Losey in the opposite role of Sir Toby Belch.
 Sam F. Clabaugh and Clarence Going, two more High school graduates, were seen to much advantage in the prominent roles of Malvolio, the love-sick steward, and Feste. the clown, respectively. Both were well in the spirit of their parts and spoke their lines in a manner well worthy of praise. John Morrow and W $. Browner were excellent in the parts of 5seeerto and Antonio, the sea captains while E. H. Strode, as Sebastian, and Ralnh Barrow, as Fabian. were quite sat- isfying
 Feibelman was a realistically 1ovesick Duke Orsino, though perhaps hls signs were little too frequent and his voice a little too quavering. Miss Julia Searcy was in merit second only to Miss Chiles in her portrayal of Maria, her comedy work being quite out of the ordinary Miss Louise Pearce was wholly satisfying as Olivia.
 The performance as a whole was thor oughly delightful The "Blackfriars'' de- serve the heartiest commendation
