PIERCE HALL PLAYERS
PRESENT GOOD COMEDY
A. A. Mines Play, "To Have the
Honor" Is Vehicle for
Amateurs.

A. A. Mines play about a pseudo
prince or a pseudo country who runs
into difficulty when he runs into his
estranged wife, also posing as some
ore else she Is not, at an English din
ner party, gave Pierce Hall Players,
Paul Alexander, Ruth Perrott and
Charlotte Tilley. splendid opportuni-
ties to display their thespianic abili-
ties last night. The title Of the COM
edy is ITO Have the Honor"
Except for dragging first act, the
piece was well presented and bore
evidences of good direction.
For the excellent manner in which
he carried the quite difficult role of a
fake prince, Mr.. Alexander Is entitled
to be cited with all seven awards Of
his adopted country, "Neoslavonia I"
His accent and bearing as the prince
were good, and his change into plain
Michael Brown was done in just the
mi-humorous vein that was needed
to bring the play to a fitting climax.
Ruth Perrott also had quite a task
assigned her In the character of Jen-
infer. a young woman who poses as
ignominy of her status as an es-
tranged wife. She was admirable in
the part, especially in the scenes with
Mr. Alexander.
If there are any of these Neosla-
vonian awards left over, Charlotte
Tilley should come in for one also. AS
a pink butterfly who could only be
shy and bashful when her dowager
mother Lyell MacLean) was around,
but who could be most charming when
the mater was absent, Miss Tilley
boosted a minor part into a major
performance.
Rose Ellen Mattern was quite
charming as the young hostess. and
Herbert E. Smith, Jeanne Bateman,
Lyell MacLean, Edmund j. Evans,
william E. Bryant and William A.
Davis were adequate in supporting
roles.
