The rendition of "SWeethearts," the
Victor Herbert light opera, pleased a
good-siZed house at the Grantland last
Wednesday evening. Deserving espe-
cia1 mention was the comedy work of
Dan Marble as Mikel Mikelowitz. Mr.
Marble has a rare quality in even the
finest comedians-of being able to i'm
provise his funny stuff as the show
runs without disconcerting the other
players. He was so extremely droll
and laughable that numerous people
who saw him complained of side-ache
the next day. Bruce King as Prince
Franz evidenced a most pleasing ten
or voice but acted spiritlessly and as
though he was numbed. Mignon
Spense was a Tavishing founding who
grew up to find herself a princess.
She. sang herself into the hearts of
the audience. Henry Kelly as Lieut..
Karl Won Trump proved a good foil
for the antics of Mikel the king of
comedians. Cathlene Strickland as
Nam Zelle Lame showed marked tai
ent which will lend itself to further
training. Katharine Richards as Dame
Paula and Fred Leary and Mildred
Windell did very well with their min
or but essential parts. The songs the
writer liked best were Jeanette and
Her Little Wooden Shoes" The monk
Song" and Cricket on the Hearth"
Some trepidation was felt by we crit
ic as part owner of the Grantland the
atre when the princess had feminine
brain storm in the first act and bid
fair to demolish the theatre by throw
ing irons around when her false lover
skipped out. However, no damage oc-
Cured and the rest of the play went
off happily. The committe deserves
credit for bringing such clean, ap-
pealing entertainment to- the Grant
land
