'TOPP'S STWINS"PLfAS.
lNGLY PRESENTED
BY SENIORS

The play. "TOpp's Twins. given by
the Senior class of 1912 last night,
REGARDED from the point OF view that
they were just youths essaying the
drama, was a brilliant success; they
acted like veteran actors. The play
was smooth; they looked and acted
their parts.
Carl Kern as TOpp was the star
actor. At times he rose 10 especial
distinctions his makeup was fine anh
speech and manner unusually good,
John Patterson as DR. Short was
highly appreciated by the audience
and his doctors kit most entertain
| ing; SO was his studied phraseOlOgy.
The two drummcrs, Herman Flan-
agan as Tick" and Boyd EdminstOn
as Bob Spratt We're good. Herman
was nimi,ablc in Il am waiting to be
shown out" and Bub's wig was su-
pcriinc.
Gerald Mitchell as "Gingor" was
IN up-to-datc saucy Niger; he never
forgot to look or act the part and was
much enjoyed
Mr. Twig2s, who was Thomas
Jackson, received many expectations
from the ald."ncc OF his sardonic
humor and his attitude to Mrs.
Twiggs he did very good work.
Both the girls, Suella Grower aS
Mrs. Twiggs Knott and Miriam Ross
as her sister Angie. looked very prct-
ty and acted with spirit and merit.
Mrs. Doubledam had hard part
that of assuming a German broken
English" speech, but Rosa Swindel
did herself credit and acted very
well.
Mrs. Twiggs, Georgia Strain. was
fine; she reflected on her part and
studied out ideas for It, until, Of
course, she felt like Mrs. Twiggs and
gave a splendid rendition.
The prompter, the wife of Prof.
Jones, did q fine piece Of work. In
knowing when not to prompt Is
shown the ability OF q prompter.
Prompting is a thankless Job. but
Mrs. Jones displayed much interest
and helped greatly that everyone felt
she was an inspiration to the play.
Much OF the success of the enter
tainment was due to the unceasing
work Of Mrs. J. d. Lowell, who was
the director OF the play.
