Central High school 1t has as its
source of interest that unfailinS Idea
of mistaken identity with the added
feature of making the man whose
identity is not known himself the vic
tim. II is highly amusing thruout the
three acts.
The cast has been working faith
fully for several weeks under the di-
rection of Miss Keightley and are
proving that they will, as usual in
plays at Central. give an excellent pro-
duction.
The character work to he done by
Lee Thclmia IHuggins as Pat, Eu-
gene Griffith as the man whose iden-
tity is mistaken. and George Diggory
as The Juggernaut," are rather diff
ficult for amateurs. but they are do
ing such good work as to surprise the
audience into thinking them exper-
fenced actors. Everyone in the play
is doing equally good work.
