"A rare treat was given the DunhRs
pupils Wednesday and Thursday aft:
ernoons when the Players Guild
made its first appearance in Thirty

the story of Peter Steele and Pru-
dence Steele, his wife, worldly. yet
protesting to be deeply religious, who
were saved from selling their souls
for $4,000. which they were about to
appearance to them of Judas Iscariot
who had sold his Master for thirty
pieces of silver. Judas pleaded with
Prudence and Peter at separate times
to do the right thing ''of their own
will" After each had decided to dc
this peace came to them.
The characters in the play were
sustained by Elaine Dean and Bernice
p. Jones, alternating as Prudence
steele: John Davis. Peter Steele; the
tramp. Judas. Frederick Hundl"r'
Theodore Brown, the old man. an
uncle, who also helped Peter and
Prudence see the error OF their ways
The work of each character was wei
done. and the play was strong In
every detail. While each character
merits special mention for his con-
yfncing work, special credit Is due to
Mr.. Hundley. Whose Interpretation OF

was mastery. The absence OF appro-

splendid work of the young people
