THE LANAI PLAYERS PERFORM
Not nearly as good house greeted
the Lanai players as they were
worthy of for their program present
ed On Thursday evening.
| From the moment the artistic cur
tains were pulled apart at the COM
| mencement until the last playlet was
finished the attraction was good.
Every member of the cast deserves
especial mention. Some, Of course,
were bit more finished than others,
|. but all were, excellent. Those in the
cast are all local folk who are giving
their time and ta:ent for the benefit
of the Red Cross. 1t is hard to realize
that they are all amateurs.
Joint Owners in Spain" was indeed
! good. Mrs. Lillian Osgood, whose
eternal crying drove everyone in the
old ladies' home from sharing her
room, was clever To be a sniyeling,
whining old woman with continual
cry ready showed deal of talent. AS
student at Mount Holyoke Miss Os-
good made quite reputation for her
self. Mrs. Alexander, mother of Miss
Helen Alexander, as the quiet peace
loving elderly body whose movements
only irritated Miss Dyer" was good.
Mrs. r. N. Burnham as Mrs. Blake
was a termagant tat finally brought
the weepy OLD Miss Dyer to her
senses. Mrs. Burnham was finished,
her work throughout the evening eA-
cellent and showed fine training. In
"Rosalind," Mr.. Joe Stickney made
his first appearance and he made It
very acceptabIy. He gives promise
of being an excellent addition to the
Lanai Players. In "Rosalind, Mrs.
Burnham again scored. Miss Osgood
repeated her first success.
"The Wonder Hat" the last play
let, was undoubtedly the best. 1t was
full of life and activity and kept the
audience in a listening mood.
Miss Dorothy Hogs as Columblne
was dainty bit of girlhood, with
deal of grace and talent that imme-
diateIy made her a favOrite. Miss
Mary Won Holt was clever and show
ed splendid poise. She comes natural
" by her talent for in the days OF
Yesterday her father was one OF the
Won Hollis work was a treat.
Mr.. Burnham as Punchinello was
excellent. Honolulu is indeed fortu-
nate in having so clever an actor to
call upon. He kept the audience con-
yulsed. DR.. Woodbury. as Pierrot re-
peated his success of the first per-
formance here. Harlequin was de-
light, his every gesture AMI action
being freakish and yet so GRACEFUL"
freakish that he won the audience
from the start. The stringed quartet
composed of Mr.. w. A. Love, Mr.. Ed
win IdeleR. Mr.. Benjamin Marx and
Mr. Robert Mclean. with Mrs. ldeler
at the piano, added in no small meas
ure to the evenings entertainment.
The social diversion was a pleasant
ten minutes during which fruit punch
was served.
