'CAPPY RICKS WELL
DONE BY JUNIORS
Peter Kyne Comedy Pleases
Large Audience at High
School Auditorium
BEAUTIFUL SETTINGS
Individual Members of Cast
Excelled-Splendid Mus
ical Numbers

Tuesday evening the Sank Cen
tire public witnessed Peter B.
kyne's three-act comedy, "Cappy
Ricks," as presented by the Junior
class of the Sank Centre High
School.
The play in itself is a master
piece of humor, and the audience
responded to the unusual situa-
tions with one burst of laughter
after another.
There was capacity crowd in
attendance, and the interest of all
was held until the drop of the
final curtain. Particularly pleas
ing was the clever settings, and
stage properties. The first and
third acts took place in a well
kept, up to date office. 1t was the
setting for the second act that
caught the fancy. Sim Wiener and
Orrin Hall designed and painted
the set, and we can conservatively
say, it was the cleverist setting
ever portrayed on a local stage.
The industrial department in the
High School helped materially with
the stage work.
"Cappy Kicks" was a splendid
vehicle through which to bring out
the lest in each of the parts, and
eacn character fitted his or her
part to perfection.
The title role, "Cappy" was
played by Glen Sullivan. He
showed excellent technic and dra-
matte ability; his makeup" was
typical and a whole lot of credit is
due Glen. 1t has been long
time since such noble character
as "Cappy Kicks" has entertained
a Sank Centre audience.
The other male characters were
impersonated by Orrin Hall as
Matt Peasley, the successful good
looking sea captain; Kenneth Mort
enson, as Skinner" the general
manager of things; Norbert Frank,
as Cecil Bernard, the young Eng
: Hsh chap who was destined to learn
ca life from the ground up
soon discovered he was not cut out
to be a sailor. He was the COM
edian and elected considerable APP
plause; Raymond McCracken, a
young lawyer of pleasing person
atty, who was attending to some
legal business of Cappy Kicks. The
female characters were portrayed
by Hazel Moretnson, as Florence
Kicks, daughter of Cappy, with
just such an obtrusive disposition |;
Helen Ober as Ellen Murray, sec
rotary to Mr.. Kicks, presenting
likeable appearance and causing
many perplexing situations be-
cause of stage name; Cecil Moy-
nihan as Aunt Lucy Kicks, SER
ious old maid in the Kicks house
hold, who lost her true love in a
ship wreck a year ago.
Special music was rendered be-
tween acts by the Girls Octette
and Dale Strong, Violinist and
Helen Brown, accompanist.
Miss Mildred Osmundson, teach
er of English and supervisor of
dramatic art, had entire charge of
the production. The splendid
work she has done with the pupils
was evidenced by the success of
this play. "Cappy Kicks" was one
of the best pieces of dramatic
work ever staged by any Sank Cen
tire High School class.

Denise and was going to marry her
in spite of his uncle, the count.
The picture is woven around the
amours of the count and the
Madam, who met casually and drift
together at the end in natural
manner. Hubert is a means OF
making the count want Madam
Laverne and Denise is the reason
in back of it.
Florence Vidor makes herself a
very charming Nine. Laverne and a
desirable companion at parties and
dinner. The part of the madam is
costumed we'll and put in some
pretty settings Miss Vidor is head
ano shoulders above the rest of
the women in the cast.
The Count d'Castelle is played by
Albert Cont. The count is not
the usual sleek haired type, but is
of a more rugged nature. His work
is good. The count has a rival, for
a while, in the person of an Amer
lean, played by Ned Sparks, who
knows more about Paris than the
count. This man furnishes some
comedy that is rich.
Denise is played by Loretta
Young. This girl is good in her
part, although she has little to do.
Matty Kemp plays Hubert, and does
it nicely. Georgette is a rival of
Madam Laverne's and furnishes
some comedy relief. The part is
played by Marietta Miner.

Coscia and Verdi, musical come

men plays the violin and the other
the cello. These two men were seen
on the stage here recently and pre-
sent the same act OH the screen.
"The Question of Today" a skit
presented by Vitaphone, deals with
the young men and girls of today,
principally the girls. 1t is on the
same subject that is of local interest
today, the insulting of girls by men.
Audrey Ferris, Lands Stevens and

This love affair, sweet but mod

stolen company funds to gamble
with.
The girl of his childhood days

fellow and goes away married to the
Michigan Kid"
The story is full of fights, re-
venge and forest fires, combined with
an escape in birchbark canoe down
raging river. The fight is we'll
done and the Photographic effects
that are obtained with the river
scene are very good.
Nagel plays the part Of James
Rowan, known as the Michigan
Kid" He does some nice work in
straight acting and then in the old
fashioned rough and tumble fights
shows up splendidly. This is good
characterization.
Renee Adoree is the girl back in
Michigan who comes to Alaska to
marry her lover. Rose Morris is the
girls name and Miss Adoree makes
the name Rose fit. In little cabin
in the mountains where the fight
takes place Renee Adoree shows
some good acting. In other spots
she is only fair.
The part of the rival, Frank Hay
ward, is taken by Lloyd Whitlock.
He is more of the william type and
plays his part thusly. He is sup
posed to be a very jealous sort of
person and certainly appears in
that light. He does some good
work.
On the stage is Doris Hue, a
"blues" singer She has better
voice than most Of the blues singers
have heard, being softer and hav-
ing more melody to it. She also
does a jazz tap dance that is good.

deville and revue stage have failed
to make the grade as master of
ceremonies. In the four years that
Davis has been before the Indi-
annapolis public, have on various
occasions found serious fault with
the way Davis was doing his work.
I have also praised him and
watched his growth, a growth that
has made him the outstanding en-
tertaining figure in Indianapolis. On
all those occasions, Charlie never
became temperamental with me,
never slammed me with remarks
filled with vinegar, but went to the
trouble to have me honestly ex-
plain my objections. He then
studied my idea and then took it
for what it was worth. Davis has
always listened to his public. He
wants to please and he is doing
that. The other night when 1 went
to the Indiana to catch the show,
the theater was capaciy, people
were standing and hundreds were
waiting to get in. They we're there
to see and hear Charlie Davis say
good-by for a short time. 1t is
Davis that is drawing them in this
week and not the movie.
Davis is not forgetting the lessons
Of the past this week. One of his
E, greatest tricks or qualities is to be
able to "Sell'' each member of his
organization to the audience. He
does that in an intimate way. This
week he permits each member Of
his band to say good-by in his own
way. And this is calling for one
ovation after another.
The two outstanding other hits
of the stage show are contributed
by three men known as the Visit
ing Firemen. They are eccentric
dancers, and a man with an accor-
dian who plays little but turns out
to be a corking good comedian.
The feature movie, RED Lips,
\ one of the most foolish stories OF
alleged college life have ever seen
on the screen. If this movie paints
college life as it really exists for
one minute in real life, then every
college should be closed down. But,
thank goodness, this story is just
as false as the worst imitation dia-
mond ever made.
The author of "Red Lips" must
have the idea that the only thing
studied at college is sex. That is the
bunk, and the story is, too. Never
have 1 seen so much silly "necking'
on the screen as in RED Lips"
Buddy Rogers and Marion Nixon
have the chief roles.
