| Scn1OFS score hlC With a scintillating performance that earned the praise of a large audience, the cast of the comedy Big Hearted Herbert" presented last night in the Gem theater by Naugatuck high school seniors to- day. can well feel proud of the initial presentation of the play.
 The play, which has many dra- matic spots and is full of amusing situations, was one of the best offered here by the high school seniors in past years, and to say that the work of the cast was out. standing is to put 1t mildly.
 The youngsters turned in per- formance worthy of muc hmore ex. perienced actors and were distinctly a credit to the directors of the play, Miss Louise Grainger and Harry Benham.
 One of the features was the we'll balanced cast. All members dis played fine acting ability and the effort of each contributed to the general success of the show. Bar- bara Holbrook deserves orchids for her mature presentation of the part of Elizabeth Kalness, tactful wife, of Herbert, who is anything but big hearted. Miss Holbrook had 8 dif- ficult part and handled it to per- lection, winning the sympathy of the audience.
 Ellsworth Neary as her husband, Herbert. successful but cranky busi- ness man who thinks he believes in a humble home and scorns any, thing that has to do with progress, did very well in an unsympathetic role.
 Three "Naturals"
 Three persons who seemed ma turalS" in their roles whose per- formences ranked very highly were Harry (Buddy) Vaughan, who took the party of boyish, exuberant and gay Robert Kalyness. and delighted the audience with his work; Bill Burke as the modest. pleasant and devoted finance of Herbert,s daugh- ter, Cynthia; and Elton Rosenblatt as Herbert Kalness, Jr., who doesn't want. to go to work in his dads factory but want to go to college 10 be an engineer. Each suited his role as a glove fits a hand.
 Miss Eleanor Olson made a very fetching Cynthia and pleased the audience with her work. The play has to do with the problem of get ting Herbert. the father, to permit his daughter to marry her finance, and to allow Herbert, Jr., to go to college.
 Herbert is made to realize the ri- diculousness of his attitude in an extremely funny sceen m the final act. The minor parts were very well played and Miss Grainger is to be congratulated on her selections of Agnes Lagownik as Martha. the "one-day maid: Constance Rapiefi
