Rain proved no drawback to the
Experimental Theatre s opening pro-
duction of The Roundabout - last
night for the performance was at
tended by a large and enthusiastic
audience
The theatre group deserves con-
siderable praise for its Improvement
this season both in the quality OF
acting. the better staging of produe-
tions and in the choice of plays.
Last night s performance, like the
opening one this season, had that
smooth running ease which marks
the professional production.
"The Roundabout, " written by
the famous J. B. PrieStley. is typi-
cal of the PrieStley writing, being
full of sly, quiet humor, clever lines
and decidedly different characters.
1t takes a gentle poke at Soviet
Russia. holding up some of its in
consistencieS to quiet ridlcule.
Alice Pulliam, a newcomer to the
cast. played the leading role Of Pa
mela Kettlewell with great charm
and skill, portraying the rather i'm
pertinent. clever and delightful
daughter of the house who success
fully and slyly brings her parents
together. AS Comrade Staggles OF
Russia bitterly points out, her Com
munistic ideas are more the result
of a sudden enthusiasm than any
deep and burning conviction and as
a result. do rot interfere greatly
with her life.
Phil Remington was excellent in
the role of Lord Kettlewell, haraSS-
ed by business, an inconvenient
love affair, and the sudden arrival
of his daughter whom he has not
seen for 20 years, since he and Lady
Kettlewell, separated. His admir-
ers were delighted to see him III
major part.
Noel Smith. in the role of Com
rade Staggles, provided the greatest
part of the comedy with his fierce

EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE IN EXCELLENT
PERFORMANCE OF ENTERTAINING PLAY

! denunciation of the bourgeoiSie de-
spite his evident enjoyment of the
luxuries of capitalistic life, and
with his attempts TO sway Lord
Kettlewell'S servants to the tenets
of Communism. His susceptibility
to women s charms is entertaining
and the change from his bruSque
manners to his dulcet tones when
wooing is decidedly amusing. Smith
gave an excellent performance in
this role
Others of Cast
George Carter as Churton Saun-
ders, the last of the Edwardians, =
provided a number of laughs in his
portrayal of an amused onlooker on
life. clever lines being given him
by the author, with rather trench
ant comments on current day po-
litical beliefs.
Pat NJ. F. Goldsmith, also a new
conner, did well with her part as
Hilda Lancicourt, the woman with
whom Lord Kettlewell has had an
affair and of whom he would glad
ly be rid.
Another newcomer, who was eX-
cellent in a minor role was Albert
DeVore, as Parsons, the butler. be-
ing particular good in the last act
where. due to unexpected good
news. he overcelebrated a bit but
despite too many drinks retained
the imperturbable dignity of an
English butler.
Mrs. Norman P. PearSe, always a
favorite, is at her best in the role
of Lady Knightsbridge whose advent
is always greeted with apprehen-
sion since she spares no one in try
ing to obtain jobs for her numerous
relatives.
Helen Van Fleet makes the most
OF her part as Lady Kettlewell. who
finally decides TO return to her
husband. Mary Katherine Smith,
as Alice. the maid, who "knowS
her place. in her first appearance
with the group, received consider
able praise. Leroy Rumsey, in the
small part of Alec Grenside. also
did well.
Rumsey is the director and de-
serves credit for the well staged
production.
Adding considerably to the enjoy
ment in the performance were the
splendid piano solos between acts,
played by Miss Helen Dowd, whose
skill as a pianist is well known to
many residents of the community.

Editor and Author Will Be Heard at Second Church
 Sunday Night

James Waterman Wise, orator and interpreter, will Do the speak CT at the Forum of the Second Congregational church on Sunday, January z. 1894 at 7:30 p. m. His subject will be "Facing the Jew ish Future.
 As editor of "Opinion", a journal of Jewish life and letters, which is in closest contact for the current contemporary life-socia1, political and cultural. He brings to the lec- ture platform authentic informa- ton and well formulated ideas on the progress of civilization in the twentieth century.
 MT Wise attended Harvard and Columbia universities, graduating from the latter with Phi Betta Kappa distinction. He spent q year in Cambridge, England studying rabbinics and philosophy under the direction of Professor Israel Abrahams and James Ward. He withdrew from his study for the rabbinate, however, because of his inability to accept certain of the theological implications which the ministry seemed to him to de- mand. Since that time MT Wise has devoted his time to writing and lecturing. Among his pub lishcd books arc "The Future of Israel", Jews Are Like That" 'Liberalizing Liberal Judaism"
