DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY
IS PLAYED BY AMATEURS
Montgomery Group Wins Applause
With Production Given Sat.
urday Evening.

Death Takes o Holiday" by Alberto
Sasella and Walter Ferris, presented by
the Montgomery players Saturday
night at the Bethesda Chevy Chase
high school auditorium, was as well
| handled and as smoothly acted as one
| could wish to see. The players enacting
their roles with unusual finesse made
the production all the more vivid be-
cause they actually seemed to fear this
grim specter himself.
The plot, laid in the hall of a castle,
dealt with the exploits of death who
had assumed a human form during his
three-day holiday upon the earth. It
was his aim during this period to ex-
perience all the human emotions and
find out what made life so dear. Ralph
S. Fowler, as his majesty of darkness
and fear portrayed his role in such
manner that he overshadowed others
OF the splendid cast. The host of this
unwelcome guest, j. A. Bishop. blended
his undeniable poise with sincere acting
Indeed his manner and that of the
Princess Of San Luca, played by Eva
Kinman, seemed very natural

Sey, as the subject Of the specter's af-

ingenious. The two other subjects of
by Mary Daub and Betsy Watkins, both
roles well played. Doris Davidson, al
though cast In a minor role, did her
bit for the drama The chief competi-
tors OF the outcast in the field of love
were played by j. Mahlon Selby and
Leonel Dick. The finishing touches to
the entertainment were provided BY
their emotional roles. Herbert F. Teit-
man, as the soldier who did not fear
death, was soldier-hke and calm. The
maid, Margaret B. Keyhoe, and the
butler, Irving M. Day, aided the plot
With their model manners. The scenery
was especially appropriate.

Is a decided box-ofhce attraction. Sup
plem,nting Miss Ford in the review are
such capable performers as Lucky

of Lucky Darlin' and the singing and
dancing of Miss Clarke served to give
Miss Ford competition, but that was
all it amounted to.
With such comedians as Steve Mills,
Jack Rosen and Willie Gordon serving
the liughs, the patrons were kept in
a joNal mood throughout the perfor-
mancs Their comedy is all the more
noteworthy in that it has just about
the ceanest dialogue that has emanated
from the burlesque stage here In some
time. Assisting the comics in their
antics are Jack Coyle and Jack Ryon,
two very capable straight" men.
The Grey brothers in several dance
specials are well received, as was the
singing of Rosalie Roland. The chorus
this week Is exceptionally nice looking,
but 1t doesn't handicap them in any
