Variety Marks Plays
BY Community Group

That a collection of carefully Sc.
lected one-act plays can form a we'll
rounded and highly interesting pro-
gram was demonstrated Monday eve
ming at the city auditorium when the
Community Players presented its Sec
ond of q series Of entertainments. A
large and enthusiastic audience was
on hand to greet the players and each
number was well received.
The opening play, Whats What"
A Swedish American comedy di-
rected by Mrs. G. D. Dursema, was
distinguished by some amusing Swed-
ish dialect in which Miss Dorothy
Parsons and F. A. Bartron figured.
The play has to do with a family
whose chief claim to fame was the
amount Of bric-a-brac in the living
room.
Between this play and the follow
ing one, a group of junior high school
pupils appeared in O. black face skit
Taking part were Evan Lips, Melvin
Mclaughlin, George Brynjuldson,
Violet Olson, Marcia Leroy, Laura
Ellsworth, Peggy Whitley, Willis
newton, George Dom and Hugh
Longmuir. Margaret Mundy intro
duced the number.
Contrasting with the light theme
of the first play, "Stockin' Money"
directed by Miss Pearl Bryant, ended
on a tragic note. A South Carolina
setting in the fall of 1925 provided
the setting and the plot had to- do
with mother who was boarding
money in order to educate her son.
F.. A. Bartron gave a humorous
reading IN Swedish dialect before the
final play, "The Wonder Hat" a
light-hearted fantasy dealing with
magic hat and slipper, both of which
would empart wonderful powers to
the wearers. Some exceptional act
ing on the part of Lorenzo Belk, as
the peddler, distinguished this play.

LOCAL THESP|ANs HELD ENTERTAINMENT MEET
 THURSDAY EVENING

1 What was described as one of the liveliest of regular meetings of any Seward organization was held last evening in the Seward school audi torium when the Little Theatre Club held it's January meeting.
 At the regular meeting, at which about 40 members were present, the first order of business was the vot- ing in of number of new mem bers. Following this came a report from the chairman of the clubs committee which had charge of having the stage in the auditorium built. Chairman Leonard Hopkins, of the Stage Committee, said the committee did not need to make much of a report as the stage spoke for itself" He did say, how ever, that it was the purpose of the committee when they had the stage built, that it be designed to take care of future needs as well as the present. This, it was thought by the committee, had been achieved.
 The club voted, upon a sugges- ton made at the meeting, to inves- tigate the musical prospects of the club with view to ascertaining if material was available to put on musical and vocal program. Here tofore, the clubs activities have been limited to the production of plays alone.
 At the adjournment of the busi- ness meeting mirthful School Days playlet was presented. Mrs. R. D. Sullivan took the part of the school teacher, who presided over the schoolroom of II children.
 The action of the playlet was based on the mischievous pranks of school children MT. Hopkins took the part of the fiat" boy and had a waist line of about 87 inches and weight which should equal about two normal persons.
 AS the playlet drew to a close, the odor of fresh coffee announced that a repast was being prepared and as the class was dismissed the entire assemblage was served with baked beans, coffee, sandwiches and apple pie
 The next regular meeting of the Little Theatre Club will be on Feb ruary II.
