STUDENTS SCORE HIT N
A GOLD NINE DRAMA

The Liberty theter was taxed to
It's capacity on Thursday evening
when the students of the White Pine
county nigl school, under the diree-
tion of Judge Edwards, with clever
ness which simply astounded the
large audience. presented thte three
act comedy entitled "A Gold Mine. /"
All reserved seats had been sold long
before time for the curtain to go up
and scarcely had the doors been
thrown open when standing room was
at premium. There was not a sim
gle hitch to mar the perfect presenta-
t'on of the play and each part was
carried out in manner which not
only showed great skill on the part
OF the one to whom a particular char
acter was allotted, but also reflected
great credit on Judge Edwards who
had so faithfully drilled the students
for months past. The clean, clever
comedy selected attracted no less at
tention than did the skill and train
Ing Of those who took part. The au-
dience became enthusiastic before
the first act was half through and
the increase in this enthusiasm
as the play progressed may well be
taken as an indication of how the
excellent performance was enjoyed.
Hxrold Jackaon made a great hit
as "Silas X. woolcott Of Grass VAL
ley. California, U. 8. A." He had .
gold mine to sell and selected . like
ly victim in "Sir Everard Foxwood."
a London capitalist, which part Was
ably cared for BY Wayne Stokes. It
developed that Silas X. not only had
a gold mine to sell but likewise one
to win in Mrs. Meredith, a young
widow. Miss Mable Wheeler a. the
sister of Sir Everard. an unconscious
ly naughty young English widow of
beauty and wealth, displayed SO much
talent that while she and Mr.. Jackson
were on the stage the audience was
constantly In a state of convivial ex-
citement. II you have a gold mine to
sell engage Harold Jackson. II he
doesn't sell 1t to the capitalist he sure
ly will to one of the servants in the
house, but IL you happen to have a
charming daughter or sister about.
keep an eye on the dashing young
promoter
Jack Frost as Gerald Riordan, M.
p. of Ballynockslottery." is also
worthy of mention. AS a friend of
the son of Sir Everard his wooing
and winoing of the charming daugh-
ter was as clever as 1t was amusing.
Miss Helen Hoag in the part of the
daughter OF the capitalist was SO
charming and clever that she was
greeted with great applause through
out the play.
The difficult part of Mrs. Wander
vast, the only Juliet" was played by
Miss Glenn Taylor, who displayed
sufficient talent to entitle her to a
place on one of the best stages in the
country.
Warren Larsen carried out the part
of the son of a wealthy father as
though one were watching just such
a character In real life, while Bruce
Davis as secretary to the London cap
italist took to his work as though
he had filled the position for years
and Paul Doughty made typical but
ler in the home OF wealthy man,
won rounds Of applause by his clever
work in many amusing situations.
SO great was the success which
crowned their efforts. and so well re-
ceived was the play that the students
have elected to repeat 1t tonight, and
1t Is safe to say that those who have
not secured their tickets in advance
will have but little chance of gaining
admission after the hour of eight
o'clock
Judge Edwards was complimented
at every side on his able training of
the promising talent and would have
had just cause to feel proud had he
paused to gaze on the metropolitan
scene presented in and about the
theater. The Judge. however, takes
such a keen interest in our youth
and their clean, healthy amusement,
no doubt in the grand success OF
Thursday evening he finds ample
compensation for his untiring efforts
of the past months.
