KNICKERBOCKER PLAYERS
IN "THE CHARITY BALL"

The Knickerbocker Players could hard
" have picked better play for the
Christmas week attraction than the De
Mile Belasco Charity Rail-" The piece
is full of pathos, romance, comedy and
drama that mako intense moments for
the audience.
The Players presented the piece In a
manner that aroused the enthusiasm OF
tn audience until the last curtain. There
was no special shining star, each men,
ber of the company showing unusual tall
ent in portraying his or her part.
The story deals with two brothers, the
Van Bureps, one n minister and the
other a wall street fnancer. Dick, who
has become money mad In his fight for
success. sacrifices everything to gain his
end, even the love and honor of Phyllis
Ice, his sweetheart. Brother John inter
poses before IL Is too late He. too, falls
victim to the charms of Ann Cruger, the
girl whom Dick had planned to marry
to gain Wall street power.
The play has n lot of humor instilled
into 1t by the antics of Alec Cably por-
trayed by Thomas Shearer). Philip Lord
as Judge Knox in his scene over his
finances supposed cork leg had the audi
ence In Mysteries Alice Donaldson as
Ann Cruger touched the audience in her
role of benevolence.
Frank Il. Elliot as John, the minister
brother, was good. while Ted Bracket
as the young flnancier was all the part
could ask. Anna Doherty as the girlish
Bess, who experiences her first love, was
pleasing. Josie Sisson as Mrs. De Pey-
ster enacted her role cleverly, while Car
rie Thatcher was exceptionally good as
Phyllis Lee.
