Hewison Pollock Gives
Mastery Reading OF
Play, If / Were King

Fully 200 friends responded to the
invitation to hear Hewison Pollock in
his dramatic recital at the First Pres
byterian church Saturday. evening. He
was presented in recital by the ex-
preston department Of Fargo conser-
vatory, having finished two years of
his three-year course with Mrs G. l..
Hubbell, and gave a mastery inter-
probation of Justine McCarthy's play,
If Were King.
Tt is no small task to memorize an
entire play. to impersonate a dozen
characters and keep them so individual
that one would almost recognize them
on the street If a meeting were pos
sible. but Mr.. Pollock accomplished
this. artistic feat, and gained new
laure1s as a reader Especially strong
was his impersonation Of the weak,
descrepit. villainous king, the facial
expression ond tones of the voice be-
ing perfect in character. Equally sue
cessful was his instant change to the
impersonation of Lady Katherine, all
delicate womanliness Strongly as
these two characters stood out above
the rest. in the minds of many his best
representation was that of the old
mother Especial mention is also due
his Interpretation Of the character of
Francois Villon, the happy-go lucky
whose manly instincts develop during
the course of the play.
Mr.. Pollock's ease of manner was
most pleasing. He was assisted in his
program by Charles Loomis. who gave
fine cello number, A Dream, with
Joseph Sandie at the piano. The latter
also gave a splendid piano solo. Fam

Shows Good Progress

Stones hall was filled Sunday after
noon with friends OF little Miss Eloise
Rowan. who was presented in piano
recital by the Dakota conservatory.
She gave a well-selected program with
surprising understanding, revealing an
intellectual grasp of compositions
usually far beyond the mind of a
child. and the progress In her piano
work was very apparent to those who
had heard her on other similar
occasions. The technique displayed
was clear and beautiful.
Littl Marjorie Gullickson. reader, a
student at the Western School OF Ex-
preston, proved a charming assistant
to Miss Eloise, and interpreted es-
pecially well the monolog, A Study in
Futures, by ]. J. r. The audience

author OF the monolog, one Of much
merit. is Mrs. Jessie Jepson Reming-
ton, head Of the expression depart
ment.
