Central Highs Spring Play

large audience greeted the first
performance of Central High Schools
spring play. .'Trelawny of the
Wells"
The play was written by Sir Ar
thur Wing Pinero, and is the story
of Rose Trelawny, the idol of the
Wells Theater. who upon announce
ment of her engagement to the
grandson Of the vice chancellor Of
England. gives up her career and sub
mits to training as lady and wife
to-be of a gentleman. Her failure
in this results in her leaving the
school of torture for her former pro-
fession and in her refusal to see her
fiance again. This causes the latter,
Arthur Cover. to secretly join a COM
pany of players, and. after months
of separation, they are brought to-
gether again in the leading roles Of
a new play.
"Trelawny of the Wells" was pre-
sented by a competent cast under the
direction of Miss Sibyl Baker. Yyonne
Levy really lives the part of Rose
Trelawny: Robert Lawrence is good
as the fiance, and Vinton Hayworth,
as Roses disappointed sweetheart
who brings about her reunion with
Arthur Cover, runs Miss Levy a close
second as the most notable charac-
terization of the performances.
