We waited for some time and
then another car arrived in which

"Broque nonchalantly went to a

LOCAL PLAYERS
PLEASE AUDIENCE
IN 'APPLESAUCE'
BY OLGA COSTELLO

D." "Applcsaucc, the American Lc-
gion play presented for the first
time last evening on the Palace
stage, was corking good show.
And that S not applesauce, either.
With the exception of the inevi-
table little mishaps of first night
amateur production, which are
amusing rather than aggravating
and which really add to the gaiety
of nations, the piece ran off smooth
ly.
The parts were exceptionally well
taken and, though the characters
were all decided types, still they
got into their lines and outside of
their own personalities to the re-
quired degree. Sanford Dodge, di-
rector, who had charge of the pro-
ductiOn had his people well coached.
Their stage business was unusual
" effective and well carried out
and there was a minimum of ner-
vous pacing about and aimless ges-
ture. Entrances and exits were
snappv and that is no small accom-
plishment in a home town show.
Lucy Deaton was charming and
prettily dressed in the leading wo-
mans part. She knew her lines and
her business and her presence OF
mind carried her and her fellow
PLAYERS through some difficult bits.
Mrs. Allie Jackson as "Ma =
Robinson, was very good indeed.
She has a pretty voice and good
enunciation for stage work and her
poise was enviable.
Comedy was furnished in the rofc
of Mrs. Jennie Baldwin, the bad
news neighbor, whose acidulOus and
spiteful character was ably portray
ed by Cali P. Harrison, whose weird
and wonderful makeup added a far
c.cal touch to the part.
And the men were uniformly good
too. Harl Crockett was made to or
der for the part of Bill McAllister,
the dispenser of applcsauce. He has
brilliant smile and plenty OF
"it" and he rompcd through the
part as though it ticklrd him.
House Likes Lines
Charles W. Barry as the furious
father was highly amusing. He
made the most of all his good lines
and his scenes with Ma Robinson
frequently brought down the house.
Some of the best acting of the
evening was done by Jimmy
Greene who made himself into a
pompous, sclfrightcous idiot for
this one occasion. In his hands
Rollo Jenkins had the desired dis
agreeable virtues.
Not the least amusing of the men
was Charles Ike in the small part
of political ward boss, who got a
laugh every time he stepped upon
the stage.
Entrcact spccialtics made the
waits between scenes pass quickly.
There was dainty little powder
puff dance by the smallest possible
dancer, Betty Jane Agnes, a pupil
of Mrs. Wooda Blcsy, who won all
hearts. Then two accomplished
youths, Earl Despair and Frank
Buttcrwait played popular songs
on their harmonious.
John Canton, tenor, gave pleasure
with two numbers, "For You
Alone" and "My Jean" Mrs. Can
ton was at the piano.
Members of the orchestra who
played between acts were John
Ariaudo, Ed Carol, Junior Holli-
day. Paul Nash, Ed Rau, Leroy
Rumscy, Alex Stuart and Jack
Snivcly.
The interior set for the play was
lent for the occasion by Glen Brunk
and furniture was by the Imperial
Valley Hardware Co.
