PERSONAL

Harrison Dowd of Madison and Mrs Alice Heating Cheney shared honors last evening with John D. Seymour in the Jitney Players production of Lenox Robinson's Whiteheaded Boy in their tent in Madison. Mrs Cheney had the role of Aunt Ellen created by Malrs O'Neil, of the original Irish Play CTS. It is considered one of the finest comedy characters on the modern stage and Mrs Cheney gave one of her buoyant, laugh-provok- ing interpretations, her droll lines keping a steady ripple of laughter coming from the audience. liar rison Dowd, who has given such q continued fine list of characteri- cations throughout the season, played an important part as George, the oldest of the six Geo. ghegans, over-burdened with re- responsibilities, pulled this way and that" and harassed by his younger brothers and sisters. MT Seymour iis the "white-headed boy" an .rish expression for the family pet, gave a fine interpretation of Denis, praised one moment and blamed the next, and finally left so be- Wildered that his one idea is to cut himself free from his impos- sible family. Miss Annette Evans, in the role of Mrs Geogheban, or iginally assiged to Florence Gerald, who returned to New York last Saturday gave a faithful reading of her part of a motherly Irish woman. The director of the play CTS, Walter Young, who has not appeared on the stage since ''The Best People," returned last even- ing to give q fine performance of pompous Irish gentleman. Frances Simpson played the role of his daughter Della, engaged to Denis, in her winsonie fashion. This IS the last week MT and Mrs Seymour will appear with the players this season.
