DRAMATIC CLUB GIVES
PLEASING PLAY At SCHOOL

An audience which entirely filled
the >high school auditorium was
thoroughly astonished at the pro-
duction of THE Colonel's Maid" by
the Dramtic Club of the high school
last night, when nine members of
the organization presented a difficult
three-act comedy under the direc-
ton of Miss Florence Stauffer, with
facility seldom seen in amateur
theatricals.
Helen Warren, as the ~"colonePs
maid" made a heroine whose
charms warranted the fight put up
by her lover, Huyler Romond, as
Bob Rudd, despite the many diff
culties the pair underwent before
the romance was eliminated. Huy-
Ter Romond appeared the practiced
lover and in the role of a d~isobedient
son with his fancee as the disobed-
lent daughter. made a decided hit.
Charles Hughes as Ching-Ah-Ling,
the Chinese cook, a friend to all
lovers, a lover of fun and imperti-
nent to the nth degree, caused a
wav of merriment and was n of
the big factors in the three %convul-
sive hours.
John Stocked as Col. Robert Rudd,
a scion of old southern a~ristocracy,
was the hit of the evening and when
Robert Menaker as Col. Richard
Byrd, his arch enemy, appeared on
the scene the deadly feud was so
humorously perpetrated that tho
audience was kept in stitches of
laughter.
Loretta Calvin as Mrs. John Car
roll lost none of her attraction de-
spite her score of years advance in
age and as the apple of Col. Byrd's
eye, the bane of Col. Rudd's life and
the despair of her daughter, was a
true type of a designing, aristocratic
mother.
Ruth Benhamu, as Julia. Mrs.
CAROLS dutiful daughter. pleased
the audience with her simple ways
and pleased her lover, Leroy Sturn,
as the |forgetful Ned Graydon, to
| such extent hat he did not forget
I to elope with her and thus opened a
somewhat easier lane for other low
ers to travel.
Edward Haffner, as James Bas-
kom. was entirely professional in his
role as Col. Rudd's lawyer and had
the hot blooded old colonel fulfill
his numerous threats OF disinherit-
ing his son Bob, would have had
his hands full drawing up a new will
to Hannah Katzenjammer, the maid,
who was, in truth, no one less than
Marjorie Byrd. daughter of the
hated rival.
A tribute of red roses was present.
ed Miss Stauffer by the cast and the
actresses all received bouquets from
admiring friends and they boys who
played opposite them.
The proceeds of the play go to
defer the expenses Of the seniors
trip to Washington in May.
