THE DICTATOR.

'The Dictator" as presented by the
High School last Friday evening was
one of the best amateur plays ever
given in Hays 1t was well staged and
the work Of the whole cast would have
been credit to professionals.
John Miller sustained the IeaoinR
and difficult role of Brook Travers in
most efficient manner and contribut-
ed largely to the success of the play;
he was ably seconded by Dow Kirkman
as the valet. Jack Hoffman carried
of the part Of Hyne with an easy
grace that looked like long experience
behind the footlights. Ralph Ward
fslly expressed ali the Importance of
Colonel John T. Bowie, .the maker Of
kings and presidents. Jack Middle
kauf was InimitabIe as Duffy, the
secret service detective and kept the
audience in Toars Of laughter. Charles
Reeder appeared in two parts and as
Jose the hotel proprietor, did q very
clever bit of character acting. Ben
Westbrook g short appearance as the
hotel port was so good that it de-
serves mention. Hugo Kohl graced
two uniforms and did good work both
as Capt. Goldman and Lit Victor. As
Vasquez the health officer Carl Clark
looked as handsome IS a regular mat
inee idol. George Grass gave a fine
impersonation Of that fiery warrior
General Campos and was we'll support
ed b5 Earl Stock as Garcia and Leo
Moore as Manuel. WiIfred Waun
made an able presentation of The Rev.
Bostick.
And the girls while few in number
were not lacking in quality. Hazel Rea
wa dream of IovIiness as Mrs B B1Wie,
the bride of a week. Grace Dyer
made such sweet and pretty mission
ary that no heather could resist her.
Pearl Wilson gave a strong rendition in
the part of the beautiful but tempes-
tuous Juanita.
We do not have the names of all the
boys who appeared as policemen, sol
diers and marines, but all were good in
their parts.
To Miss Picken is due a large share
OF the honor for the success of the
performance. Her ability as director
was apparent in the result.
On the whole it was a very strong
production and everyone is loud in its
praise.
