Miss Bob White Was a Dear
And was Greeted by Enthusiastic Crowds

of Admirers.
Taken as a whole the b. II. S. senior
play, Miss Bob White, as presented in
the Armory last Thursday afternoon and
evening under the coaching of Miss lnez
/ Lucille Peck of Cicero, Ind, director of
the Rogers Producing Company, was the
best of recent years Ii was al 30 fnan-
cisl success as the school, net proceeds
were s277. Miss Peck not only used a
great deal of executive ability in the
management and coaching, but she won
the esteem of all who took part and they
seemed delighted to please her, She said
that Belfast was ope of the most hospit-
able places she had had the pleasure of
visiting and the school possessed an un-
usual degree of talent, especially in sing
ing. The scenery was new and the cos
tuning not exaggerated. The opening
chorus, Meet Me in Bubbleland," by a
chorus of Bubble kiddies, very small
girls in dainty costumes with colored
balloons and colored light effects. was
only the beginning of good work that
was enjoyed to the finale. All the
choruses featured new ideas and their
songs were catchy and well rendered
While a musical comedy in three acts,
the spoken parts were featured to good
effect with intrigue and love scenes with
the usu II happy ending.
Miss Helen Plasted of Searsmont as
Miss Bob White, dainty dairy maid
and an equally sweet society girl, was
received with the most cordial applause
and held to the spirit of her part in sew
eral trying situations. Her gowns were
unusually becoming.
Miss Helen Robertson of Poor's Mills,
modest and retiring little Quaker girl
became the staunch friend of Miss Bob
and their parts together were as natural
as re al life.
Miss Louise Gray, as Miss Autumn WIS
very attractive in her Colonial gown,
leading the danes in their song and
dance She was also excellent as an
American girl willing 10 take the long
list of notable ancestors Lord Bashful
brought with his fathers millions to the
marriage altar
Miss Florence Parsons showed spirit
and tact in the minor part of Maggie, the
maid. She maintained her dignity on all
occasions and brought out well merited
applause.
Tolford Durham and Ermo Scott, two
young millionaires, completely disguised
as knights of the road, in paying an cleo
ton bet with the Duke of High Titles,
furnished real comedy, some of which
seemed too real to be acquired. Nothing
better has ever been seen here in anna
teur performances. They were encored
again and again in their songs and
dances. They were equally good as So
ciety sports in the finale.
Harold Staples as the Duke of High
Titles and his son, Lord Bashful, Orland
Orchard, were typical English gentry in
appearance and mannerisms.
Kermit Nickerson interpreted with
tact the parts of a severe Quaker and
domineering father. His voice and ma
tura bearing were good assets in some of
the scenes
Elmer Ellis, the village police, was
equal to all the emergencies his Office de-
manded, while William Cramer, the col
ored valet of the millionaries, could not
have been recognized by his own chums.
both felt and maintained their parts.
The senior class entertained Miss Peck
and their teachers after the play in
Dutch's restaurant. This made a very
informal and happy ending of pleasant
relations in rehearsals, etc, of Miss Bob
White.
At the matinee Mrs. Joseph W. Blais-
dell entertained the matron and all the
children at the Girls Home. She also
added to their delight with chocolates
and other favors
