A REVIEW OF rTHE HIDDEN GUEST"

By John P. Murray
Wi tn piercing screams and gunshots,
rolling thunder and masked villains,
"The Hidden Guest" put in it's appear
anco last Wednesday night at the School
Aud torium. This maiden effort Of the
High School Dramatic Club proved ex-
ception ontertoi nment, and the we'll
filled house voiced it's approval both
long end vociferously. The efforts. OF
an escaped convict returning to the
scene Of his crime to recover his loot;
q fraternity pledge being hazed by
being compelled to spend the night in
the same house wi tn the thief; and
debutante visiting her very jittery
aunt ct the same place, combine to pro-
vide q highly involved and entertai ming
plot. For time it seemed all was 49,.
lost and the audience cheered and
trembl ed. screamed and laughed, as the
plot thickened.
Tighter and tighter became the
tangled web Of circumstance that sur
rounded the hero and heroine until ..
there seemed no possible solution. At
last, however, young love prevailed
and wi tn cheers and deep sighs Of re-
lief the patrons welcomed the happy
ending.
Marta freeman, in her portrayal Of
Minnie Mayfield, old maid, gave the
mo st convincing performance. Immediately
after the show she was awarded a cash
prize for her efforts. Also to be COM
mended were, Margaret Stewart, whose
role as Ruby Meyfield, q debutante, was
excellent; Thomas Poston, as the college
boy; Lorraine Weast as Melons, the maid;
and lie Roy Clark, an elderly gentleman
addicted to smoking cigars.
It is hoped that this group will pro-
duce other programs for the edification
and glory Of Greenbelt. The Greenbelt
Players are already cycling one or two Of
the cast for possible roles in their
shows.

ELECTION REVEALS STRENGTH
OF DEMOCRACY

In marked contrast with dictator-cOntrOled coun-
tries abroad was the result Of The recent national
election in this country which Republicans max
ing appreciate gains while the Democratic party
tinued to hold a commanding position. Aside from
giving the Grand Old Party members encouragement
for the 1910 campaign and the Democrats stimulation
for vigorous fight to retain power the election
suits show clearly the healthy condition of this de-
mocracy.
American voters revealed at the polls that they
thinking for themselves as they have been for
$50 years. That their thoughts not all alike is
the salvation Of form of government If all
swung in line either through terrorism or lack of
mental effort is too much in evidence abroad be-
hind any candidates group of candidates or single
party there would be genuine danger for this democ-
racy which has thrived for a century and half But
so long as we express ourselves fearlessly as the
American voters did the recent election there need
be little alarm to our future potency nation.
There can be no such atrocious acts as now are
reported from Germany in the persecution of the
Jews in country where people think for themselves
and cherish and preserve the right to do So
During the next two years the Republican party
will capitalize the gains made in this off-year
election The Democrats with just pride, will point
to their record of achievement. In the meantime
the American people will be doing their own thinking,
which means the perpetuation of both parties and
the bulwark of strong nation
