DRAMA APPRECIATED
'"The Dream That Came True" is
Staged by the Athletic AssO-
citation at High School.
Participants Are Entitled to Praise
for Able Manner in Which
Play is Presented.

1.-The Dream That Came True" was
staged on the high school rostrum by
the Athletic association last Friday
night and was an unquestionable sue
cess. Not only were the characters,
among whom were representatives of
all the classes, so we'll chosen, trained,
and so bubbling over with tears or
laughter as might be required, making
it impossible to decide who had the
most talent, but the pecuniary remu-
neration which the association received
therefrom is altogether satisfactory.
The heavy leads were taken by
Margaret Pitmon and Roy Busch, the
former up from the ranks Of the COM
monplace, the latter a foreman in a
factory, striving together for better
conditions for the factory workers..
Neither lacked versatility or capabili-
ty.
The juvenile leads included Ernesta
Jesmer and Theron Nelson, brother
and sister. Nobody knew that they
had lost their fortune, for "even if the
inside was furnished they wanted the
outside to be bright and shiny" Err
nesta was loyal and true, rollicking,
thoughtful, fearful, all with equal eff
fectiveness. Theron surely was an
adoring brother, f1irt, a natural
lover, who made himself beloved by
the audience at once.
Henry Gebert became a relentless,
money grabbing factory owner; Madge
Chapman, his daughter, an ardent
champion of women's rights; nobody
could have taken the roles better
Humor, vitality and interest were well
made a prominent feature of the even
ing by Mae Howard, an athletic girl
who proved very interesting to the
masculine sex and especially to Hen
~ Abrahamson, dear little English
lord whom the audience liked immedi-
ately. Joyce Briggs and Bill Galley
made the best kind of lovers. Every
body felt assured that the little book
worm would be we'll cherished by the
big football captain. Mildred Newton
made us like fairies and fairy stories
better than ever. Anna Peterson
curious and wearing false hair, who
kept boarding house in the first act
was very successful. Within that
! boarding house was discovered irresis-
tible little Eileen Kaliher, daughter
OF the proprietress, naive, happy-go-
lucky and always chewing gum; Zelda
Blair, who had no sentimental ideas
about Christmas, made a clever pessi-
mist. Elvera Wergin could not have
better unprecedented the lanquid WON
an Of art with a poetic temperament
and Milton Nygren was correctly
chosen as an optimistic cub reporter
who was always ninistering to his
appetite. Blanche Cakes, who was
there in the interest of the woman
movement, certainly played her role
with all the required tact in taking
such a part.
No one could have wished fora more
pleasant evenings entertainment. The
whole cast showed an interest unusual
and did justice to the careful training
of Miss Allen.
Between acts the high school bows
sextet sang, and the music was great
ly appreciated.
The coach and players wish to thank
everyone who so kindly helped in the
stage furnishings, and especially the
Galley Hardware company. It would
have been impossible to have procured
the artistic stage effects without their
help.
