East Grand Forks
CLASS PLAY IS
A BIG SUCCESS
Merchant of Venice Up-to-
Date" is Excellently Pre-
3. scented by Students.

Before an audience that taxed the
capacity of the high school auditor
ium, and ono that a keen in its APP
probation Of the efforts of the young
thespians. the senior class play. The
Merchant of Venice. up-to-Date,''
was given last night. The efforts OF
the students surprised their friends
and exceeded their expectations. With
an cas- and precision that would be
a credit 10 professionals, the charac-
tors portrayed their parts in fine teS-
timonial of their weeks Of careful
training. Miss Arabelle. NeNon. head
OF the English department Of the high
school. has had charge of the play,
and Inc exhibition by the students last
night was Il credit to her ability.
Many who attended pronounce this
play as the best rendered class play
ever given here.
The modern arrangement of Shakes
pearc's great work preserves the
names and dispositions of the actors,
as well as the general theme. But
the scene is shifted from the market
place and court to the class room and
the football field, where Bassanio
strives as hard to win his lady love
through the examination as Shakes
peare's character did in making the
correct choice OF the casnets, and An
tonic strives as hard to win the foot
ball match as the original did to win
wealth in commerce.
Laurence Nero as Antonio. Walter
Nelson as his friend and sutton to Por-
tia. Albert Rand as the cringing shy
lock, and Florence Carney as Portia,
carried the heavy parts. and deserve
great credit for the finished
in which they performed. Joe Law
renee as Launcelot Gobbo, the servant
of Shylock, also did excellently, icing
especiall effective in the third act.
Esther Skinner made an excellent
school ,na'am. The remaining minor
characters gave no less pleasing nor
effective interpretations Of their parts
in the smaller portions which were
theirs.
The play was a huge financial sue
cess as we'll. The receipts we're $40.
Skillful management kept the expenses
to a minimum. and h class of 1914
will have a splendid fund with which
to purchase their class memorial to
De left with the school. A siN-piece
orchestra OF local talent, composed of
George Downham, violin: Guy God
dard, flute: Duncan McNichol, cornet;
Mr.. Kraebel, clarinet, and X. l.. Ru-
dow, trombone. with Miss Genevieve
Clark at the piano, added greatly to
the success of the evening, rendering
some splendid selections between acts.
The class play will be given again
on next Tuesday evening. as the first
evenings entertainment of the farm
ers' short course AT hat time adj
mission will be free to all enrolled in
the short curse or helping in finance
ing it. Others will be admitted at us.
