Kris Margheim and Robin Sampson find that putting on makeup isn't all that it's built up to be. It takes lots of irritating practice and many contorted, disfigured faces. After finding the dead canary, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters realize the truth behind the murder. The one act play, ‘'Trifles, under the direction of Miss Janet Swarthout, encountered rough roads on the way to district one act competition in Scottsbluff. While at districts, one of the two judges gave them a superior, while the other gave them a good rating. The group was rather disappointed, and afterward Miss Swarthout commented, We did our best. I doubt I will direct another one act. The play was centered around the past murder of John Wright. His wife, Minnie, was sent to jail for supposed murder. A neighbor, Mr. Hale, alerted the county attorney and the sheriff. The rest of the story was based on a dead canary and how the local women banded together to help Minnie Wright. The dead canary found in a sewing kit, was the apparent motive for the murder. An interesting play by Susan Glaspell, It was found to be boring by the judges. One Act Play 25
