MO set of professionals ever gave an
N audience more enjoyment with a
performance of ''Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway" than those partiei-

benefit play gave the people of FL
Paso Saturday and Sunday. That the
performance was by amateurs was
apparent. yes, but there was a fresh
ness about the whole affair that
seemed to make it even more enjoy
able. No member Of the cast lacked
force or individuality; in fact. each
participant gave some characteristic
touch TO the part that made it stand
out and claim attention.
Anne Lee Gaines Surles in the stel-
lar role Of Mary, was demure, sweet
and unaffected, and won her audience
Immediately by her charm and grace.
and when she sang Mary Is a Grand
Old Name" she was encored repeated
" In so Long Mary she also re-

ability and gave a cleancut perform

praise from the very beginning. His
songs also were heartily appreciated
and warmly applauded.

ed just like one would expect the
character to do in real life, and when
she sang her two song numbers she
won her audience completely, She
and Corp. Carrick were a distinct hit
in their duet
Stella Brick did well in the difficult
character role OF the woman with a
past as well as a present, and she soon
convinced her audience that she has
ability as thespian. She added much
to the fun of the play by her snob-
bish manner in the part.

on tears as on conversation; Lieut..
Edmonds as Tom Blake, the public
executor; Lieut. Tom Hart as Andy

others for the work down in their
