BEGINS ORGANIZATION
OF APLAYERS' CLUB
George DeFranceaux Seeks
Support for Mt. Pleasant
Players.

We had, and New York has. the
Washington Square Players, why not
a group OF Mt Pleasant players7
This 10 the premise upon which
George DeFranceaux, 1447 Monroe
street. a young business man OF
Washington, has set about organic
ing 100 young folk of Mt. Pleasant
into a dramatic organization.
These amateurs have no desire to
make money nor to advertise them
selves, he states. but simply to put
on plays for the amusement OF them
sounds much like the purpose OF the
Washington Square aggregation.
Mr.. DeFranceaux has Interested
members of the Board OF Education
In his project. and has obtained tenta-
tive promise of the use OF school audi
forums In which to rehearse and pre-
sent the plays.
Reared on stage.
He was practically reared on the
stage. lie In the son OF n we'll known
theatrical manager, and has produced
several plays in New York which met
with success.
Mr.. DeFranceaux's present plan Is to
organize a group of 100 nom profess
sional folk interested in dramatic art
and TO have these 100 amateurs d.
vided into four sections. Each group
Is to give one play month, making
a production week from the Mt
Pleasant players.
All other arrangements have been
made; II only remains, no states, to
get enough amateurs who are sin
cerely interested In presentation OF
the best modern plays, to round out
the 100 membership.
To Re Community Affair.
The title, Mt. Pleasant Players. he
explains. does not exclude residents
OF other sections OF tho city. But,
like the Washington Square Players,
IL Is designed to Identify the club with
one section OF the city, and make of II
q community AFFAIR.
Whether dues are to be paid and
admission charged, Mr.. DeFranceauN
states, he has no interest; the 100
members can decide for themselves.
At present his only interest IL in get
ting enough amateurs TO start with.
Wherefore he Is sending out invita-.
tons to have persons interested In
the project communicate with him at
144I Monroe street, stating age, ex-
perlence. IL any, and other qualifca.
tions.

HOME CLUB PLAYERS
PRESENT "MR. BOB"

Malcolm Hay scored a decided sue
cess at the presentation of "Mr. Bob"
by the Home Club Players, in the first
of their series OF productions this
winter. He played the part of the
Iolliclking yachtsman. Philip Royson.
The rest OF the cast OF "Mr. Bob"
showed the value of enthusiasm and
Fpirit in amateur producing. Sam
Meyer had to play difficult part:
that OF one who was taken for every
one except himself, filling the role
Crsditsbly. The part of the butler
was played by Charles SILVER.
The feminine side of tho cast was
fully up to its masculine eontempor,
aries. Miss May Louden showed the
dement's of her previous experiences
with the players by giving a fine
Marion, while Mrs, Landers won the
audience as Philips cousin.
George II. Palmer was director OF
the production, and A. j. McMechan,
stage manager. others OF the cast
were Mrs. Pierce. as Aunt Becky, and
Miss Marguerite Louden, as Patty.
