given before two crowded houses in
Pike Hall on Friday and Saturday
evenings and another splendid sue

That, at least, appears to be the
unanimous opinion and verdict of |
those who had the fortune of wit |
Messing the play. Rarely has there |
been drama given by amateurs in |
which the individual parts were taken |
and sustained so perfectly and ac- |
curately from beginning to end. I'M
and fullest praise shold be |
given to every one of the cast. OPP
portunities throughout were well /
balanced and each participant made
the most of every opportunity. All |
the parts were played with such abb

an illusion of reality was created at
the very start which lasted to the
final curtain. The action was brisk.
cues were picked up sharply and the
dialogue did not drag. Taken alto

more of a professional swing than is
customary in most amateur shows.
All the more credit is due to the
members of the cast for the inter-
given the various charac-
tiers when il is considered that there
was no outside or professional coach

very unique and developed into the
most amusing and perplexing mixups,
