The Matchmaker table scene with julia Becker, Dennis Norman, Walter Miller, Bob Bauer, Lautal Eshman. Bob Borlick gives the eye over Seth Mosley's shoulder in The Matchmaker. University Players THE MATCHMAKER has been called the funniest farce of the nineteenth century. Ruth Beall starred in the title role as a vivacious widow who pretended to advise a wealthy merchant in finding a wife. Seth Moseley starred as the misetly merchant who was presently interested in a Winsome millenery, portrayed by julie Becker. Set in the 1800's the play provided the actors with much opportunity for clowning of the type known as low comedy. Brought back from the era when this kind of theatrical romp delighted earlier generations, it becomes novelty entertainment for the audience of today. Formal stage scene with B. Bauer, L. Eshman, B. Ernst, J. Owen, P. Borlick, C. Mac Millan, D. Hamburg, J. Becker, W. Miller, R. Allenstin, S. Mosely, and R. Beall.
