'STRONCHEART'
PRESENTED AT
CENTRAL UNION

Moving swiftly through four acts,
realistic drama fascinated q large
crowd of people who attended
"Strongheart," the j. c, play last
night, at Central union.
A good cast, well trained, pre-
sented the play, leading parts be-
ing taken creditably by Jack Lane,
Earl Ritter In the title role, George
Riyes, Walter Welch, Thelma
jenkins, Marjorie Owens, Frank
Wilby. Bessie Dameron and Morgan
Rice.
Ritter made convincing ap-
pearance as the Indian college stu
dent: Lane was excellent as the
white boy hero and Thelma Jenk-
ms charming as the girl with whom
both were in love.
Other minor holes were well
played by Jack Shibley, Chester
Irving, Kathleen Spencer, Ruth
Galatin. Lee Gunn. Allen williams,

played as a prelude and between
the acts. Besides q number O.
pieces by the orchestra, there was
z piano solo by Masako Yukawa.
and a brass trio number played by
Allen Williams, Fred Heald and
Ray Sweeney, accompanied by

Although it wasn't the strongest
act, dramatically, the gymnasium
scene, with the football players,
trainers and coach, was the most
interesting part Of the play. The
unusual sound effects OF a large
crowd cheering at the football
game was particularly impressive.

resent a basement locker room of
a gym, was very striking in It's
realistic effect.
Miss Lucille Krause directed the

for the advance was resumed.

Union Pacific, American Can and
Consolidated Gas forged ahead
for gains of a point and more.
Even U. S. Steel improved after

a steady tone following declara-
tion of the regular dividend.
An exception was General Mo

most active on the big board,
large blocks coming out steadily
on the tape.
