AUDIENCE CHILLED
 BY H. 5. THESP|ANS
Mystery Play Ably Produced by 1 Amphion Dramatic Club

Squeels of terror and roars of
 laughter were heard alternately from the audience attending the per | formance of Cat O. Nine Tails" pre- scented by the Amphion Dramatic 1 club of the school. The mystery lost none of it's terror and gruesomness
 in the performance of the thespians
 The story of the play opens in the lodge of James Gordon, played by
 Richard Hube, about II o'clock at night with the lodge in complete 1 darkness as the inhabitants are
 asleep. A figure is seen prowling through the living room with a 1 flashlight. Another figure, ghostly white, enters the room. An unearthly
 scream is heard which startles the
 family into wakefulness.
 From this nerve shattering be- ginning, the action follows swiftly
 and mysteriously. The lodge is paid
 many of these strange visits by the
 prowler until the morale Of the i the efforts of certain Miss Smith,
 who turns out to be none other than 1 the successor of Sherlock Holmes
 mystery of the Cat O Nine Tails" is solved
 1 All members of the cast perform cd faultlessly. Of special merit i however. was. the work of Robert
 Kelly, who played the part of Hen 1 ry, the chore boy at the lodge and somewhat of a halfwit. Playing the 1 half-wit was only q ruse. for Kelly 1 turned out to be the Cat himself | Kelly had the audience in mysteries
 with his antics, Also worthy of spe-
 cial mention were the performances of Marjorie Recor, whose work as l the nerve shattered wife of Gordon,
 was excellent. and of Inez Calkins,
 who took the household by the hand from the minute she entered the plot until the mystery was solved.
 The players were cast by Mrs. Amy C. Guilford, the faculty coach
 of the Amphion club. The cast: James Gordon .... Richard Hube Mrs. James Gordon Marjorie Recor Jimmie Gordon -. Clifton Andrews Jacob Weber .... Francis Petuskis
 Betty Weber ....., Anne Murphy i Theodore Maitland
