ITALIAN PLAY SCORES
TRIUMPH AT ATHENS
From the Athens Herald:

From the Athens Herald:
Too much cannot be said OF the
I splendid amateur production given bv
the lhalian club on Friday night at
the Colonial theater The cast as a
whole and individually handled the
play with the ability and SAVIOR faire
OF professionals and the performance
was uawless, the execution of the re-
spective parts remarkable and the en-
thusiasm and responsiveness of the
audience evidenced their appreciation
and interest.
The play was directed by Miss Mary
Lyndon, whose careful and efficient
supervision assured the production
of its distinct success and enthusiastic
reception.
The concesus of opinion is that no
amateur performance ever seen in
the Classic City has scored such a
triumph, or has ever met with such
an ovation. as the ITALIAN offering on
Friday night.
There was not dull moment from
the first through the last act and the
audience was in a continual uproar,
evlncing natural enthusiasm and en-
Joyment of an entertainment surpass-
ing anything given in this city ex-
cept by legitimate actors. Snap, pep
and smoothness are the three adiec-
tives which can fttingly be applied
to "A Pair of Skies" which was free
from all amateurishness and the usual
plumbers of amateur actors.
Mr.. A. c. McPhail and Mr.. Louis
Morrison were seen to advantage in
the two leading roles, Mr.. McPhail
showing great dramatic ability and
an intelligent, true and forceful in
depreciation of his difficult part. Mr..
Morrison's clever portrayal of "T.
Boggs Johns" brought down the
house and afforded opportunity for
most finished piece of acting.
Mr.. Howard Mccall as MT Van
derholt shared honors with the stars
and mast a most convincing and at
trative legal attorney. The part OF
the stenographer was taken by Miss
Nettie Webb who gave her lines in a
realistic and able danner and was one
of the best in the cast.
Miss Aull, as Mrs. Nettieton, was
thoroughly charming and contributed
much to the success of the perform
ance, giving delightful portrayal OF
her role. Miss Helen Baxter was
seen in the role of Florence, the
clever woman whose ingenuity and
knowledge of human nature brings
the play to happy close. Miss Bax-
ter's acting was of a most superior ma
ture and evidenced innate histronic
ability.
MissMarion Nicholson, as Goodies,
was one of the hits of the evening and
received much applause.
Messrs. Price, Kassewitz, Harold
and Miller made strong appeal in
their respective parts and assisted in
making "A Pair of Skies" a tremen-
duous and sensational success
