the Bemidji high school Friday AFTER

Shakespeare's COMEDY of Err

this year. April 20 was the tercen-
tenary of his death. In many parts
of the country plays and pageants
are being given in his honor, serving
as revival to bring his plays closer
to the people of today. SIS
The charming little comedy, 1.-THE:
Comedy Of Errors" was one Of the
first plays written by Shakespeare.
1t is simplicity itself and yet soswell
constructed that the events seem the;
climax of an eventful day in theslife

The performances at the Grand.
theater were as near in the Shake

was no scenery save6efor the plain
backdrop. Spectators had to mag
inc the scenery from the tips let fall
from the players in their speeches.
This was in accordance to Shake
speare's day.
William Ward and Delbert Woods,
who took the parts of Dromio of
Ephesus and Syracuse, respectively,
made a decided hit. They were nat-
ural Dromios They did not act but
they lived the part.
John Stechman and Alec Cameron,
who took the parts of Antipholus of
Ephesus and Syracuse, respectively,
showed excellent training and sim
certify. Here, likewise all the char
and a regard for detail.
Charles White as Aegeon, a mer-
chant of Syracuse, played the part
of an old man with much credit. His
narratives which formed the basis
of the play were very Interestingly
given.
Corinne Carlson as Adriana, wife
of Antipholus Of Ephesus, and Lu-
cile Moritz as Luciano, her sister,
carried their parts exceedingly we'll.

f1ected much credit not alone on the
company but to the director. The
