ITALIANS PRESENT
ACCENT ON YOUTH
Dramatics Resume d Bv
Group After Season
Of Inactivity
nv WILLIAM G. ROBERTSON


After a season of inactivity. the
ITALIAN Association resumed Oh.
erations last night by presenting a
snlendid performance of Samuel
Paphaelson's accent on Youth"
which is either a comedy or a
drama. according to the age of the
beholder.
The cast was composed of some
of the old favorites of the associa-
tion with a goodly number of new
faces and figures to add zest to
+he performance. Mary Pray Con-
lin and Howard Canister carried
The burden of the play in the lead
mo roles of Linda Brown and
steven Gage, and gave excellent
considerations. Juanita English
az Genevieve Lang, and Leila FL
lis Corbin as Miss Darling, were,
as was also Mrs. Conlin, new to
tbe Thalian audience, and made
the most of their roles.
T. W. Preston, one of the most
versatile of the Italians, again
nroved his ability in the role of
Floadell. a somewhat remarkable
butler. playing opposite R. w.
rantwell in several scenes that
we're priceless in humor, as Will
lard Cantwen portrayed the part
nj a slightly aging actor most con-
vincingly. To Guerard Simkins, as
Dickie Reynolds, must go consider
able praise for good work done in
the role entrusted to him. Gordon
Doran and Everett Higgins had
small roles in the third act, and
looked pretty tough, which is what
they were supposed to do.
The performance was under the
direction of Howard Canister. and
rrogram credits were given to
MARGARET .Darst Smith for technl-
raj direction. Lewis Ormond for
scenery. Everett Higgins for lights,
loan Bluethenthal for properties,
