SENIORS SCORE
IN CLASS PLAY
THE Tailor Made Man"
Delights Two Capa-
city Crowds.

Capacity crowds greeted hig h
school players at the American thea
ter Friday afternoon and evening
when the senior class presented THE
Tailor Made Man"
J Unusual from the standpoint of a
particularly ambitious play for high
school presentation, nevertheless al
most every member of the cast han
died their lines ably and the whole
was capably and entertainly presented.
Douglas Lowell, the Man of Des-
tiny" who capitalized an opportunity,
was the outstanding member of the
cast. His voice is admirably suited
for stage use and his stage presence
is excellent. In addition, the role was
peculiarly suited to him. A self
schooled social lion, some of his lines
bordered on the ludicrous and were
given in way to bring out their full
humorous worth.
The play, as presented, lacked
something of the emphasis a profess
sional cast would have given it. Nor
was the cast letter perfect, the first
act in particular being married with
unfamiliarity with the context of the
play. But, on the whole, THE Tailor
Made Man" was above the high school
average, both from the standpoint of
its own merit and the way it was
handled.
Cash Nickle, as DR.. Sonntag, a So
cialist, whose ideas Bart appropriated
for practical application, handled his
part ably, assailing his demure and
obedient fiancee, Tanya Huber, played
by Cenith Smyser, to the utmost sat-
isfaction of the most critical.
Mrs. Stanlaw and her daughter,
Corrine, played by Adamae Dorman
and Mary Allison, were typical of
stage representations of the wealthy
social class. Among other lighter
parts, that of Frank Ridner, Pomeroy,
a valet, delighted the audience with
every appearance. Mrs. Kitty Dupuy
and her lisping daughter, Evelyn
Bartlett and We're Kleinsteiber, were
good enough for confirmed theatre
goers. Marvin Baker, playing that
effeminate nincompoop, Mr.. Jellicot,
a hero who aspires only to the Ionian
club, was, perhaps, the brightest sin
gle spot in the whole play. Grant
Gordon, as Peter, the ambitious tailor
lad with his eye perpetually on the
pay check and savings account,
should not be passed without mention.

CAMPAIGN GETS RESULTS.

Replies are flocking in from the re-
cent attempt engineered by the Cald'

ern manufacturers in pending reclama
ton measures. Many firms to whom
local concerns sent appeals for sup.
port complied promptly with the re-
quest and most of them sent duplicate.
of their correspondence to the Cald
we'll club. Reclamation measures will
open western markets for eastern
made goods and it was upon this basi:
that the appeal was made.

MAP OUT PLANS
FOR EAST WORK
Caldwell Asked to Sup

Orphans.

Caldwell this year will be asked to
provide for 80 orphans in the Near
East Already six have been placed
and Miss z. Fay Fowler, Idaho Near
East Relief representative, Is in town
endeavoring to put the campaign over
this week.
Monday, almost every civic, fratern-
al and patriotic organization in Cald-

Miss Fowler hopes to be able to pro-
vide ample funds for Caldwelrs 1922
Near East quota
Two reels of moving pictures, shown
at Tuesdays luncheon, impressed
those at the luncheon with the absol-
ute need in Armenia and other Near
East sections. Miss Fowler, in an ex-
planatory talk, pointed out that Arm
enia itself had been turned back to
Turkey and that this fact had COM
plification the administration of re-
lief measures. AS a result, orphans
are being moved to coastal and safer
points
Successive crop failures in Armen-
ia have also complicated matters. Pas,
measures of relief based on the idea
of supplying seed, have been replaced
this year with the policy of supervis.
ing farms in the vicinity of orphan.
ages, Miss Fowler related. Tracts Of
land have been set aside for this pur.
pose and this year will be cultivated
under Near East Relief supervision.
Both of these ventures have in.
creased financial demands upon tn,
Relief organization, Miss Fowler
pointed out. This fact, together with
the deceased pledges for Near Eas
work, now threaten a decided cut If
the program unless subscriptions ar,
unexpectedly generous.
Pictures, taken by an investigating
committee, showed real need for ampl,
funds. Only orphans are cared fol-
while children. whose parents still ex,

Following the meeting, committee
headed by w. H. Blunt, was named tc
