DADDY LONC-LECS" SPLENDIDLY
ACTED BY ALL LOCAL PLAYERS

Daddy Long Legs" the four-aci
comedy given last evening in st
Andrews Hall by the Lambertville
High School Alumni Association, was
one of the best-acted local plays
ever shown here. 1t will be repeated
tonight; and again next Tuesday
evening it will be shown at Carvers-
vile for the benefit of the orphanage
at that place.
The first characters on the stage
were orphans at the John Grier
Home" Mary Conover, Jean Wood
ward, Mary Hunt, Evelyn Mathews
and Lois Wolfinger, were splendid
The last NAMED, as "a very little
girl" captured the hearts of the
audience straight off. Bobby Cruise
was the only boy in the scene, and
he balanced up very fairly against
the girls. Gladys Schenck played
the matron's part to perfection.
The "star" of the play was Har-
riet Peet, who was Judy" Miss
Peet has sometimes been leased by
her friends about her serious express
sion, but last night it registered to
perfection-her turn to humor and
joy offset the former beyond the
hopes of her fondest admirers. As
one young man in the hall expressed
it, she was simply delicious"
Ethel Smith as one of the trustees
of the home, performed part
throughout the play that failed to
register a single flaw. Even her
grief" in the last act was so real
as to make some of the audience
blink their eyes.
Raymond Wesner as Cyrus Wyck-
off, trustee and William B. Con-
over, another trustee, who approved
of all of "Cyrus's" statements, was
"a scream" Everybody regretted
that this pair did not appear in the
latter acts.
Reba Saunders played the part of
'Sallie Mcbride" one of Judy's col
lege friends, with perfection that
would have been credit to one of
the movie stars. She knew what to
do, and did it.
Mildred Holcombe, as Julia PEN
dleton," one of The Pendletons, an
noyed her "Uncle Jervis" almost be-
yond endurance, but when she an
nounced her intended marriage to
flames Mcbride" Sallie's brother,
her uncle promptly forgave her all
the annoyances she had caused him.
She fitted this part perfectly.
Hazel Thorne was MRS. Pendle-
ton, Julia's mother, and her ability
to act the part of naughty society
lady is unquestioned She was much
interested in antecedents, and was
horribly shocked to learn that her
daughter was associating with one
girl who boosted Of descending from
the first man hanged in America.
Albert Reading, the James Nc
Bride" of the play, was good all the
way through, but never more so
than when he fondly toyed with his
''new moustache" His sister "Sal-
lie (Reba Saunders) suggested that
he kill it, but begged him to cease
