College of ST. Thomas: 'Unde1
Cover" a melodrama in four acts by
Roi Megrue Cooper, co-author of Ii
Pays to ADVERTISE" was given by the
students of the Department of Public
Speaking at the College Auditorium
Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
December 10 and II.
The play, a Metropolitan success of
a few years ago, deals with Govern
ment methods of detecting smugglers,
especially at the port of New York.
1t abounds in strong and gripping stu
ations, which were often delightfully."-
sustained by the actor-cadets. The
hushed stiffness of the overflow audi
ences which crowded the hall on both
nights was a tribute not only to the
nice dramatic arrangement of sus-
pense in this play, but also to the fine
work of the cast itself.
The students acquitted themselves
with great credit. They acted, not as
if they were acting, but in natural
and easy manner. Although three
fourths of the players made their mi
tial bow in Under Cover" they COM
pared very favorably with the casts
J of former years. All did well, but Wal
ter Dalton, Frank Schenk, and Law
renee Butler are among the new men
who did especially good work. Henry
Orme, Randall O'Rourke and John
DoWney sustained the regulations they
have made in former st. Thomas
plays.
The details of costumes and stage
furnishings were we'll carried out. The
y,
but, what is still more remarkable in
an amateur production, it was changed
in an incredibly short time, so that
there were no long waits between the
acts.
In play, in acting, in fine stage ap-
pointment, to say nothing OF quick
changes of scenery which delight
I,o hI1t
audiences of both evenings were ap-
parently we'll pleased.
