AMAzONS'
BY AMATEURS
IS SUCCESS
Temple Players Put on Pinero
Play at BeIasco-Parts
All Well Acted.

Each player knew his lines. no
one missed cue, no one had to
be prompted. and everyone in the
audience from box to gallery, heard
every word spoken on the stage.
With these bugaboos of amateur
dranTatics shelved, it is quite safe
to say that corking good com.
pAny of amateurs representing the
alumni association of the Washing
ton Hebrew Congregation, put over
a poppy three-act comedy romance,
THE Amazons, by Arthur Wing
Pinero, at the Belasco Theater last
night, getting into the spirit Of the
production with Zest that brought
delighted chuckles from an audi
ence which was prepared to be
critical though kindly, and which
came away pleased and surprised,
and highly entertained.
THE Amazons' is a. play of Eng
fish manners outraged when Lady
Castle Jordan, |aristocrat, defies
convention by raising her three
q London season" are proposed to,
have their lovers following them to
their estate, including one Lord
Utterly, nephew of Lady Castle
Jordan, who successfully carries
out a suit for the hand of his
fair cousin Lady Noeline, despite
the mothers objections.
Topping the other characters OF
the play but little, the leads were
played by James Simon, as Lord
Utterly, and Ruth Pack, as Lady
Noeline. Both of these very young
actors acquitted themselves well
and staged very delicate scenes with
rare appreciation.
Ruth Franc, co-director of the per-
Torrance, playing Lady Thomasine,
and Edith Samuel, as Lady VIII
helmina, portrayed two young
. chaps and claimed the tender
affection of the audience. Celia
Oppenheimer, as Lady Castle Jor-
dan, played her part with somewhat
the air Of an outraged duchess,
and gave a complete portrayal Of
the strong-minded mother.
Leo Simon, as the Earl Of Tween
ways. and Henry King. as Count
de Grival, had difficult character
roles, but carried them through
with real success.
Milton Norman played Minchon,
the reverend friend of the family,

Fay Rosenberg, as Sergeant Shu.
ter" presented a militant sort Of
female. who capitulates into betray.
ing her little camp to the enemy,
when TING handsome young Utterly
appears on the scene. Fitton, the
gamekeeper, was played by Bernard
Nordlinger, who handled the part
very well. Youatt was played by
Harry Wender.. 4:...2,.
One interesting. little fact which
the audience was notSlet in on was
the arrival of a baby hoy to the
director Of the show, Bertram
Block, at o'clock in the afternoon,
which probably accounted for the
absence of Mr.. Block from the stage
on the last curtain.
