THE vuLTuRE" WELL
PRESENTED BY CHANGERS

The Grange players presented 9TH,
Vulture" before crowd that comfort
ably filled the high school auditorium
last Friday evening. Artistic stag.
settings and elaborate stage effect!
contributed in no. small degree te
the success of the play, which, judg.
ing from the favorable comment
heard on all sides since, was great.
Much credit for the success of the
play itself should go to O. B. Gwin,
who in addition to his duties as di-
rector, carried two parts-those of
Brad Buckhart, the head of the New
York police force, the hunt for whose
murderer provided the theme of the
play, and that of Jenkins, the typical
New York detective who was called
to the country house of Mrs. Dore,
where the murder occurred, to solve
the mystery. Mr.. Gwin's irnpersona-
ton of both characters was realistic,
his audience being conscious of a
certain satisfaction when Buckhart
methis fate, at that, and enjoying
hugely the discontinue of Jenkins at
the hands of Toby, the hick "detecka-
tive" who was, as it turned out, a
finger printer" of the first order, but
as a butler, to use the language of
one of his co-stars, was anything
butt In either role, however, he was
a scream and furnished much of the
comedy.
Graham, who rented the country
home to plan and carry out the muir
der of Buckh hart. was played smoothly
by Jack O'Larey, who represented a
polished and resourceful villain up to
the last, even after his downfall was
brought about by the dauntless Toby.
Russell Miller as Carl, the hand
some young attorney, and rival of
Buckner for the hand of the heroine,
and John Holecek as Will, the hero
ines tirnid brother, were both sur
prisingly good in those two rather
difficult roles.
The gabby hired girl, Miss Ander-
son was played by Mrs. Gwin, who
left nothing to be desired as rather
appealing busybody, anxious to have
a hand in all that went on, sympathiz-
ing with the love affairs of Carl and
Catherine, pickering with Toby, re-
peating intimate details of Mrs. Dore's
family history and getting soundly
scolded by Mrs. Dore, whose part, by
the way, was carried by Dorothy Tip
ton with poise and dignity.
Catherine, the heroine who, while
loving Carl, planned to marry Buck
hart in order to shield her brother,
had no small part In the mysterious
happenings of the play, was charming
~ played by Marcy Holecek.
Mrs. Holecek, as the French maid
and later when recognized by Jen-
kins as Irish, Katie Clancy, was ex-
.tremely good as both.
Olive Walker and Marie Weber had
minor parts as two fighty country
girls,
A. j. Romans and Ed Ponsat were
responsible for the stage effects, Gre
ating the illusion of stormy night
and for the intricate lighting system
employed.
Russell Browns orchestra played
before the show and between acts.
The gate receipts were around $40,
which will go into the general Grange
fund.
