HIGH SCHOOL
PLAY SUCCESS

Much Ado About Betty" given by
the High School pupils last night was
probably the best play ever produced
by the student body of that institution.
Miss Amelie Largue as Betty went
through her lines without hitch and
carried off her part in an exceptionally
creditable manner. Harry Rowland,
as '.Betty's best bet" was so good that
it appears a safe bet that Bette didn't
make a bad bet
AS a comedian Allen Cant was
scream, and as a Vamp, Helen Bur-
goyne vamped as if she was used to it.
In fact, every member of the cast per-
formed like old-timers and q ditable
mention should be given Henry Hud
son, A. ID. Bowman, Kenneth Kahn.
George Greenwood, J. w. Freedman,
Oliver Semmes, Jack Shuttleworth,
Rorothy Renicke, Daisy White, Eula
Vickery, Mary Ansley, Maggie Ingram.
Louise Schambeau. Irma Sigler and

The play is to have another per-
Torrance tonight at 8 o'clock.
