- HE annual exercises for the
pupils of the Clifford Brooke
School of Dramatics were
given last night at the Ma
tional, with Freddie Sherman
of the National Theater Players
awarding diplomas to the eight pupils
who were graduated at the end Of
this term. Those given diplomas were
Nancy Ordway. Jon Anderson, Bar
bara Ann Culley, Margaret Martin,
Ray Newman, Eleanor Harding,
Marilyn Miller and Margaret Mary
Edmonston, all brought to the stage
at the final curtain and introduced
by Maurice Greet, director of the
academy and of last nights program.
Included in five dramatic sketches
were two scenes from the works of
Shakespeare and w. C. Wills-the
last act of Wills Charles the First"
and the banquet scene from THE
Tanning of the Shrew"-in which the
members of the graduating class were
given ample opportunity to display
their talents along lines other than
the simpler requirements of the mod
ern comedy.
For the rest the program was given
over to scenes from more modern
plays and one or two one-act playlets
in lighter vein. These included the
second act of the comedy 1T Pays To
Advertise" by Roi Cooper Magrue and
Walter Hackett, a modern comedy in
one act; "An Uneventful Evening""
with an all-feminine cast, and "Wel-
come, Aunt Beulah!" sketch in one
act arranged and directed by Mildred
Coleman of the Brooke Academy,
this also having an all-feminine cast.
During the presentation of 1T Pays
to Advertise" and "An Uneventful
Evening" the work Of Elsie Behrend
was especially noted, for her French.
as well as for the German dialect, was
something to harken to, and her act
ing was something to watch.
Along a more serious line Of en-
deavor Margaret Martin and For
rester Sicard took honors for their
work in Charles the First" Sicard
portraying Oliver Cromwell and Miss
Martin the role of Queen Henrietta
Maria. George Calvert, however, ran
a close second with his Charles.

CHARLES CARLILE'S is story of
~ patience. He started out in life
with one leg so twisted and crippled
he could scarcely walk. Today you
would never guess it, for the simple
reason he spent II years under treat
ment to rid himself of any basis for
your guess.
In the house next door there may
live man who Is potentially the best
saxophone, the most able drummer,
in all the country. But if he never
happens to buy saxophone or a
drum, perhaps he will never know
that and go on all his life selling
pearl sea shells to the button in
dustry. Obviously, such possibility
does not exist for people born with
singing voices.
We find most of the young men with
this talent discovered it as choir boys.
Carlile, whose singing at the Earle is
not precisely eccleSiastic, did likewise.
He attempted to develop his voice,
found it met with sufficient approval
in friendly circles to encourage him
to enter one of the Atwater Kent an
AAOdA duQAJlOI1o.
After participating in two of them
he was getting nowhere very fast
There was talk of a musical scholar
ship in New York, so he went down
there few days before the Kent
addition of 1880 came around. His
appointment anent the scholarship
lasted longer than expected, and be-
cause there was so little time to catch
the train back to Pawtucket, r. l..
he almost decided to skip it. He
didn't. Went back. won, came into
the zone finals, kept right on win
ming. Since, of course, he has been
established.
1t seems that people from Paw
tucket are very fine fans for other
people from Pawtucket. We saw one
letter this week which had come from
local lady who formerly lived in
the town. Said she just wanted to
tell Mr.. Carlile she would be out
