DOVER DRAMA CLUB
OF INTEREST HERE

It is a bit of incredibly good for
tune that one of the violincellists of
the Philadelphia Orchestra will give
a concert in Dover on the evening
of Friday, March %. The occasion
is the entertainment of the Dover
Drama Club and through a lucky
coup-his friendship for the direc-
tor of the club, Mr.. Austin has very
graciously consented to come for
the evening, thereby enabling the
committee in charge to offer a pro-
gram of unusual interest to all. For
those who love music will surely De-
present as will also those who love
the spoken drama and since fire.
duently these two arts go hand in
hand and an enthusiast of one is al
most sure to be equally so of the
other, then will such person be
twice blessed; and if, perchance'
there happens to be in Dover any
one who does not care for either
music or drama, even he may nnd
his mode of entertainment in noting,
for instance, how Mr.. Blank imper-
sonates a lord, or how Mrs. Blank
gets away with her role of eX-Wlfe
or if a certain blonde resident looks
as charming behind footlights as she
does in real life or if an optician
makes a good sheriff. Indeed all can
enjoy themselves at the Community
Hall of the Peoples Church on the
evening of Friday, March %, and not
even care a hoot for either excellent
music or good drama, though both
will be had for the taking. The
plays are all one-act plays, as fol-
lows: "Where But in American a
comedy by Wolff; "Trifles," semi
tragedy by Susan Glaspell and "The
Twelve Pound Look" by Sir James
Barrie, and they are presented. with
one and only one idea in mind, /. e.
to stimulate interest in worthwhile
drama and at the same time to fur
nish a medium for local dramatic
talent. That our neighboring towns
are quick to appreciate the excel
lence of this program is evidenced
by the response which one town
alone (Milford) is giving to its sup
port. The patronesses, Mrs. Frank
Grier, Mrs. j. Harry Humes, Mrs. w.
S. Watson, Jr., Mrs. Wilson Vinyard,
Jr., and Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs, are
very enthusiastic about the program.
