Mani lila. PLAY
Proves Hit

"A Murder Has Been Arranged"
as presented last evening by the
Man-Tilla Players, proved one of
the most diverting and smoothly
enacted performances credited to
any group of local thespians. The
same program is to be repeated
again tonight and tomorrow night
in Immaculate Conception Hall
on N Street.
John Mann and Theodore Til

have succeeded in bringing to-
gether a cast of extraordinary
merit in a play we'll above the
average in popular appeal. Emylyn
Williams is the author.
The stage debut of Miss Marie
Mcintyre, daughter of the Secre-
tary to the President, Mr.. NC
Intyre, was an suspicious occa-
sion. AS Beatrice Jasper, beauti-
full young wife of Sir Charles,
Miss Mcintyre was both gracious
and convincing. Sharing honors,
Ann Garrett as Miss Groze, the
secretary, did q finished piece of
acting.
Tiller as Jimmy North, the
ingratiating youth who stepped
in to save the situation, and Mr..
Mann, as Mullins, the erstwhile
villain on hand to secure a
legacy by murderous methods,
both were consistently excellent.
Mabel Owens Wilcox, as Mrs.
Wrags, deserved a special medal
for the expert manner in which
she carried, on the personifica-
ton of the maid; her diction
was letter perfect. George Odell
as Sir Charles might we'll have
been the gentleman himself so
well did he perform a part,
which certainly was exacting to
say the least. Anne Yago, as
Mrs. Arthur, Wilma Wright
Flood, as a hypnotized woman,
and Wilbur Belts as Cavendish,
completed the roster of players,
all Of whom did very we'll.
Particularly noteworthy is the
extreme ease and poise which
characterized the whole perform
ance, not an unnecessary wait nor
a single gap to mar the perform
ance. And surely Miss Garrett
should get patent on that blood
curdling scream, a keynote to that
murder. H.K.
