New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-05-12

her husband from his turf associates.
She too had hobby which she persisted
in riding and tried to make her husband
mount. She wanted to found a home
for orphan children and her husband
had decided to found a home for decayed
jockeys. These two schemes furnish
the play with its title, "The Hobby
Horse, and form the plot of the play
which is worked out to happy ending
by; each plan proving snare and de-
fusion and the husband and wife finally
decide to found q home for the son Allan
who has fallen in love with most
charming young lady, Bertha" played
by Alma Falk. Walter Miller played
the part of the young rector who is try
ing to bring up family Of children be
longing to deceased sister on most
meagre salary. When Mrs. Jermyn
leaves home to take up settlement work
in order to ride her hobby to her hearts
content she meets with this poor parson
and altogether seems to him so lovely
character that he most inconveniently
falls in love with her, not knowing she
is married lady but thinking she is
Miss Constance Moxon, governess
Mrs. Jermyn has assumed this name
which is that in reality of a dear friend
OF hers who is party to the deception.
This friend is played by Genevieve We'd
der who gladly allows the use of her
name to Mrs. Jermyn in order that she,
Constance, may in return remain in the
Jermyn home long enough to bring
about proposal from lawyer friend
and adviser of Mr.. Jermyn. The law
yer who is SO slow to come to the point
is played by Herman Radtke and the
way Miss Moxon finally succeeds in
capturing him is most amusing. The
three girls named all made most charm
ing appearance on the stage, and their
roles called for pretty gowns which adj
ded to the pleasure of parts well car
ried. Two other Senior girls were cal
led into the play with smaller parts,
Bertha Esser as one of the poor mothers
of poor children, and Meta Sell as an
irate parisioner of the young rector does
very we'll in the unpleasant role of show
ing her displeasure of the beautiful
governess to whom the rector gives so
much of his attention.
The comedy part of the play is sup
piled by the scheme of Mrs. Jermyn to
get the young parson into the home
founded by her husband for the jockeys.
Her husband desires resident pastor
for the place who is liberal minded and
in sympathy with the national sport,
in short, sporting parson'. The
young rector is anything but; that, but
Mrs. Jermyn hopes that by getting him
the place she will provide good living
for him and at the same time do work
OF reform among the horsemen. There
are several jockeys in evidence, played
by Ferdinand Ochs, Armin Pfaender,
Wallace Harris and Arthur Dahl and
they quite refuse to be reformed. Their
speaking parts are not long but the boys
succeeded in looking the part to the
life. Harold Reineke furnished a most
digniied butler for the Jermyn home.
Ray Lehman supplied just the proper
amount of the big son spirit and drew
considerable applause for his acting of
the part. George Crone's part was long
and he handled it very we'll. Walter
Miller could scarcely have been better
in his somewhat difficult role.
In short, the audience was we'll salts
fled with the efforts of the Seniors and
pleased with the entertainment afforded
them. The class will have nice sum
left for class memorial this year.
