LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT

Those actors who made "Strongheart'
a well known play would undoubtedly
have enjoyed seeing an enthus astic CO.
terie of young students from Mckinley
Manual Training School go through the
lines Of the drama in the large ballroom
Of the New Willard last night If any
Of them are in town, they will still have
the chance to see how Robert e. Hender-
son, class Of 1918, plays the headline
part. for Tech is putting this play on for
two n ghts
The Tech actors are strong on make
up. There wasn't an eyebrow missing
last night, and every man jack Of then.
had two solid lines running from the nose
down the cheek. Siegfried. the pup, who
barked always at just the right moment,
was the only actor In the cast that WASH t
strong on grease paint. Remember, this
applies only to actors. The actresses need
ed no makeup, but when one thinks of
them masquerading In W inter- furs on a
warm June night one must admit that
the paths Of glory lead but to the insult
ferable.
Makeup Gem.
Strongheart's makeup was a gem. He
was coffee-coiored Indian from the
wind River reservation, and the coffee
was strong II his heart is as strong as
his makeup. he will last through tonight
with just as much enthusiastic applause
as he received last night. for his lines
were letter perfect and his acting very
much like the suppressed emotional sty.e
which the original in the part used.
The boys and girls who put this show
on deserve all the credit they will get
Nobody thinks they are going to rival
the numerous stock companies in town,
but they know their stage business just
as well. The scenery. homemade ana
fresh, is more than creditable, and the
orchestra Is the same old Tech organiza-
ton that has wind enough to blow the
crooks in trombone straight And the
audience last night was enough to turn
susceptible young mans head. They
have some very dainty lasses up at Tech,
you know.
After the show the audience danced and
congratulated the cast: and the cast de-
served it. One thing the cast was nota-
