the best class play presented here in
recent years. Every member of the
cast took their parts we'll, but a few
are deserving OF special mention.
Miss Amy Ladd, as Rosalind, was per
maps the best. She showed more
than ordinary ability along dramatic
lines and played her difficult part in
a manner that could hardly have been
improved upon. Roy Wilson as Or
lando was excellent, and the work of
Jay C%ottingham and Miss Carrie Haas
in the comedy parts was one Of the
bright features of the evening. The
play was deliberately staged and cos
TUNED, which added much to its eff
~fectiveness and it's presentation re-
Elected much credit upon Miss Smi-
ley's work as director.
