Comedy Presented
By Union Hi Girls
And Boys Pleases

"a Prince to Order" a comedy in
three acts, by Frances Homer. and
produced by special arrangement
with Walter H. Baker Company, of
Boston, Mass, was presented to a
large audience in the High School
Auditorium, last Tuesday evening,
under the direction of Miss Eugene
Brandon, English instructor sor the
school.
The High Schol orchestra, under
direction of J. R. Mccullough, pre-
sented numbers between acts.
Reece Duraway was stage manager
and "Bill" Pew was property
manager!
The synopsis of the comedy
follows:
Mrs. Willings, an indulgent
mother, believes in spelling her two
children, Norma and Bill, because
she does not want them to en-
counter the hardships she met when
she undertook to manage business
after her husbands death. Granny,
who owns the business wants Bill
to go to work, but he is still bask-
ing in the glory that he won as
football hero for Yale, and is dream
ing of success as a business execu-
tive.
Jean Claibourne, the girl next
door to who mBill is engaged, be-
comes disgusted with his laziness
and quarrels with him.
Clarita Yarmouth, Norma's friend,
comes to visit the Willings and at
once begins to "vamp" Bill. Imagin
ing that Bill is in love with her, she
persuades Abe Silversetin, a moving
picture magnate, to give Bill CON
tract to play part in the pictures.
Now Granny is confronted Nth
a three sided problem: How to
make Bill go to work, how to get
HIN from Clarita, and how to re-
store him to Jean. She forms a
clever scheme, and with jeans help,
succeeds in carrying out her plan.
In this presentation both the
parts of the Prince" and Bill are
taken by the same boy, Hulan Fen
mel. His appearance as Granry's S
"Prince" deceives the others en- ire
ly, and wrecks Clarita's scheme for
his fame in the movies, which she
planned to share. Much to Gran
ny's satisfaction, Jean and Bill re.
new their engagement

OIL-PLATING differs widely from other
fabrication in this plain way: 1t remains
lastingly fastened to pistons, bearings and
other parts, even when they are not in
motion. This is made possible by the Germ
Process patented - which gives Conoco
Germ Proeessed oil its strong attraction for
all working parts, so that they become
durably Oil-Plated.

 In Maid of Salem" Miss Colbert Is seen with handsome stranger by some children. Later. she prac- tices a gavottc step by herself and jocularly tells a boy who watches her that she is dancing with man." A short while later the witchcraft hysteria breaks out.

When Miss Colbert is arrested and charged with practicing witchcraft. the stranger in the wood and the "darc- ing with Q man" episode Is recalled and she is convicted on this testi- mony.
