ADJUSTMENTS
The Columbia PLAYERS.

''The Devils Disciple" by George
Bernard Shaw, presented by the Colum-
bia Players last night at the Columbia
Heights Community Center, proved an
ambitious attempt by this group of
players. The audience was appreciative
and showed its enjoyment by hearty
applause.
Although the play is perhaps little
6ificult for amateurs to expect to draw
@cut the authors subtle comedy to the
greatest degree the characters for the
most part were clearly drawn. Aurora
Poston deserves great credit both for
her direction Of the play and for her
portrayal Of Mrs. Anne Dudgeon. The
burden of the action of the first act
rested almost entirely upon her shoul-
ders. George Oden deserves praise for
his work as Gen. Burgoyne in the short
scenes IN which he appeared. II. r.
Baukhage made a heroic Richard Dud-
geon and the scenes between him and
Harry WeStcott las the Rev. Anthony
Anderson were especially convincing.
He brought out much Of the hurnor of
the character and was at ease. Harry
-NeStcott was an earnest clergyman Of
the Revolutionary period. Judith An
CeTson was sincerely played by Grace
Meyer. Special mention should be given
