PRAISE IS GIVEN
To JUNIOR ''EX'
High School Students Present
browns in Town" With
Success.

Junior "ENs' have come and gone
for the past 40 years, but never was
one so hilariously received as last
nights. when the present third year
students offered the play Browne
in Town IN the high school audi
forum. The spacious assembly was
thronged and the applause rendered
at the conclusion Of each Of the
three acts was thUnderOus.
To Ralph Dumpke as dick Pres
ton" the hero. and also the tangle
Of the matrimonial affair, goes the
honor Of carrying the comedy across
i'm professional fashion. Miss
Ruth Kuss was pleasing as Lefty"
Dicks wife. who, though lawfully
welded 10 him. was forced TO keep
their marriage a secret for whole
day. in fear Of Dicks being disin-
herited by his rate father. The part
of the father was carried in a most
clever fashion by Robert Muessel.
Mr.. Dumpke and Miss Kuss we're
ably supported in their troubles by
the juvenile leads. Dorothy Pershing
and Birdsell Pace. Miss Pershing
as Suzanne Dacre." the lady who
knew a thing or two. was excellent
in her part and easily carried the
role of the third wife OF Arthur
Howard" The latter, a dentist from
the city. supported the leads in a
rnasterful fashion and acted the
troubled Mormon" husband to per-
lection.
The play though thoroughly a
comedy. was emphasized far more
so by Elizabeth Beyrer as "Prim-
rose. the colored cook. AS the
talkative old "mammy' she inter
preted her role we'll and easily lived
up to her reputation which she has
established in dramatic circles at the
high school. Ralph Zellers as the
English Dandy" dolled up with
monocle. interpreted his lines well
and scored a decided hi as the per
picked visitor from abroad.
Miss Evelyn f. TOhulka as "Freda
Won Hollenbeck." a German heiress
and one left without a husband at
the close Of the play. pleased the
audience with her difficult German
brogue. Horace w Feldman filled
the part Of Pollock" the farmer
and gardener about the summer cot
tage, with ease.
The entire production was made a
success through the untiring efforts
Of Miss Louise Studebaker. who, as
sponsor of the junior class. coached
the play for the past month. l..
Lawson Midgely and Mrs. f. l.. Sims
acted as the makeup artists, while
the following downtown merchants
contributed TO the production by
Ioaning various necessities: Samuel
Spiro & Co. Heller Furniture Co,
Electric Service Co, and George
Wyman & Co.
The committee for the play was:
