GAY FARCE WILL
END SEASON FOR
THEATRE GROUP

Throwing whatever dignity they
possess TO the winds, the Expert
mental theatre players have chosen
as their final offering for the sea-
son an old-fashioned, rapid-fire
farce, written especially for them
by Leroy Rumsey, with suggestions
from practically everyone in the
cast.
Murder in the Rumble Seat is
the title, but the play is not, as
the name indicates. a mystery
drama, except in so far as there is
considerable mystery in the con-
nection OF the title with the action
of the play.
The play leaps from one absurd
situation TO another at a smart
pace, many clever lines arising out
of the humorous complications.
Anything goes SO long as it is fun
ny and the players are having real
fun in creating their parts, intro
oucing much comedy business.
Sid Fancher appears as Mr..
Tyke, a sour, aciGic old man; Mrs.
Tyke. vague character, is played
by Mrs. Norman P. Pearse: Leroy
Rumsey appears as the Tyke son
who is like his father except in
those moments when he is III pur-
suit OF Dodo Beechnut Kathryn
Hinderks plays Jane, a vivacious,
impulsive young thing; George Car
ter will be seen as Terry, a like
able young man whose troubles in
crease as the plot gets thicker; Noel
Smith has an excellent time as
Bugs, a prizefighter whose love for
Jane is exceeded only by his love
for Diesel engines; Florence Hess
will be seen as Dodo Beechnut, a
blonde sophisticate who is beginning
to fade; Pauline Zimmerman will
play, Renfro, the maid
This play will be presented April
and 5 and at $3.50 p. m. at the
Seeley theatre.

MANUEL PEREZ PRESENTS BRILLIANT AMI
COLORFUL PROGRAM OF SONGS DANCES

With all the fiery, ardent enthus-
iasm characteristic of the Spanish
people and with an engaging. sly
humor typical of folk art. Manuel
Perez. Spanish dancer. presented 8
coloIful program Of songs and dane
es last night at Wilson school aud
itorium under the auspices of the
Imperial Valley Music Teachers
association and L. E. Behymer.
Sr. Perez is essentially an actor
and in the first half of his pro-
gram devoted to songs of Spain
and Mexico, although the words
were all in Spanish the meaning
was obvious by means of his skill
ful use of gestures and facial ex-
preston. Beautiful costumes and
suggestions of dance steps added to
the interest in this first half.
In this group Sr. Perez success
fully portrayed the Spaniard, a
Mexican peasant. a flower vender
OF Seville and a Moorish gypsy
singing a song of Granada. This
last song. to the accompaniment of
the Moorish castanets and the gyp-
sy dance steps was particularly eff
fective, although in his two Mexi-
san songs, "China Princesa and
"El Rancho Grandeo he was de-
lightful as the naive Mexican peas
ant.
The second half of the program
was devoted to dances OF Spain,
Mexico, the Argentine, and early
California. each colorful, rhythmic
and authentic in dance step.
Perfect costumes, skilful use OF
the castanetS as an aid in accent
uating rhythm and in portraying
the mood of the dance, the casta-
nets fairly speaking in his "Ro-
nance of California and a mas
terry OF the difficult technique pc
culiar TO Spanish dancing made
this series outstanding.
The first number was a gypsy
dance after which Sr. Perez pre-
sented Andalusian Dandy a gay,
strutting dance vividly portraying
the young dandy on parade. "Cor-
dova,' in which he serenades his
love, was another pictorial dance
