IMMENSE THR0NC
LATE COMERe WE'RE ''0UT OF
LUCK FOR COMMUNITY
+ THEATRICAL HERE

People of Little Falls were given a
rare treat in home talent productions
Monday evening when three one-act
plays were given at the Harwha thea
tre, under the auspices of the Woman $
Guild and under the direction Of Miss
Rosebud Fortier of. this city, teacher
Of public speaking and dramatic art.
Every seat in the house was sold out
and it was necessary to turn some
people away.
Needless to say, everyone was great
II pleased and the Woman's Guild
and Miss Fortier accomplished, in q
large degree, their aim and purpose in
putting on these home talent plays,
namely "to create a greater interest
in community theatricals as q means
Of clean and wholesome entertainment,
and to foster a greater community spir-
it of unity and helpfulness.'
OF the three plays. presented, two
were comedies and one tragedy,
thus giving the audience good variety
and holding their attention.
The first, "In the Spring, a Young
Mans Fancy,' centered around q
young man, Dicky Trent, who had a
love episode with every young girl he
met. Mark Jensen took this part very
ably. Miss Elaine Ruth played the
part of Mrs. Jack Hillard, the chaper-
on; the Misses Helen Miller, Mildred
Burton, Carol Schallern,> Beatrice Tom
city and Celia Rassier were Mrs. Hill
ard g five little "J's,'' and Miss Isa-
belle Merrick was Marie, a French
maid. All did ther turn in fine style.
"Glory of the Morning. was the
heaviest Of the three plays and was
considered the best. Indian costumes
and paraphernalia for this play were
loaned by the local Redmen lodge and
added much to the effect. As the cur
tain rose for this play, Miss Elaine
Ruth sang "In the Land of Sky Blue
Water" in a pleasing manner. Miss
Dorothy Merchant took the part of
Glory of the Morning, the Chevalier's 8
Winnebago squaw and she filled the
role to perfection. George Fortier, as
the Chevalier, was very good as were
Spencer Nelson as Red Wing, Miss
Isabelle Merrick as Oak Leaf and Eth
an Brown, Jr., as Black Wolf.
The third and last play, "The
Neighbors," proved very amusing:
Mrs. G.. M. A. Fortier as Grandma had
the advantage in playing her part OF
actually being grandma and conse,,
quently did SO with perfect east and
grace. Miss Hazel Richard well played
the part Of Mrs. Elmira Moran, who al
ways had a pain somewhere. Miss Lil.
liam Cook as Mrs. Diantha Abel "got' .
the audience right at the curtain. Miss
Isabelle Merrick as Inez, Miss Celia
Rassier as Mrs, Trot and Miss Carol
Schallern as Mrs. Carrie Ellsworth
! and Harold Kiewel and William Cald'
well as Ezra Williams and Peter, re-
! spectively, all did fine. -
Between the last two plays Miss
Miss Elaine Ruth, favored the audience
with a pleasing group of songs, her sis
ter, Miss Elvira Ruth, playing the ac'
compartment.
