FOR S. S. f
PLAY AR e RECEIVED
THE Appeal Of caeser to Be
Given in High School Audi
torium Friday
forum Friody-f
\ !.
Costumes have arrived for tn

Costumes have arrived for the
Roman play. The Appeal to
.Caeser,'n' which is to be given Fri
day night in the Fairmont High
School auditorium. Ticket com
mittees stated today that the seat
sale is going well and that present
indications are that the play will
be %financially success.
The costumes will be worn for
the first time in a full dress re-
hearsaI the night before the play.
AT this rehearsal. all the Clarks-
burg players will be present, to-
gether with the stage help. The
entire play will be gone over twice
to make sure every one is perfect
1y familiar with his part
On Friday night, Fairmont per-
sons will have an opportunity to
see a play such as has never been
presented in city before. When
shown in Clarksburg, this play
had to be repeated four times in
order that every one who desided
to do so might witness it.
The expense of bringing out-oe-
town players here, however is SO
great that the show will probably
not be given more than once here:
HI With the exception &Of some
minor parts. the players are all
familiar with the roles which they
assume in this production. Most
of them have appeared in TIE
AppealTto Caesar" time and again
in other cities and have worked up
their character portrayals to per-
feet. &5
Donald Ward, young Clarhs-
burger who is studying for the
ministry, portrays Paul in chains
and is especially good. Faborao1e
comment has been heard at re-
hearsals on the ease and grace
with which he handles himself in
this role. Some of the costumes
to be used in the play weigh more
than fifty pounds, those of the
Rcfnan soldiers and guards being
extraordinarily heavy.
