THE SEASON In the well-regulated high school annual there is no place for animadver- sion, even of theatrical efforts; so even if the efforts of 1931-1932 were entirely of those well precedented types of high school plays, for which there would be no audiences if the adolescent performers were orphans and had no Aunt Matildas and Uncle Williams, we should have been nice about it and should have done our best to conceal the fact under elegant literary verbiage. Ambiguous circumlocution, though, is more or less unnecessary when the offerings have been as well above mediocrity as have those of the present season. South Is South, with southern Mary Waller Dickinson directing, and replete with atmosphere of the best mint julep tradition, was entirely satis- factory. The grandmother was aristocratic, the heroine beautiful, the hero gallant, and the servants faithful. The play, of course, ended with the march from Lohengrin. Paul Bladen Bayliss as the minister, however, was a strain on our credulity. Crinoline and Candle-light was more than a very attractive entree on the Bicentennial menu. It was simple and it was effective — a masked ball, powdered wigs, gold braid and blue and buff uniforms, and Washington stepping from a painting as lightly as The Lady of the Portrait of The Beau of Bath. The Dream That Came True was Miss Ficklin’s outstanding production of the season. The heavy roles were carried by the veterans, Lillian Wigfield, James Luckett, and Sarah Carter. Marguerite Moncure excelled as the slightly noisy landlady (but we do believe that she would have much prferred playing Juliette.) Conway Brawner in a Lord Byron collar and with the inevitable monocle more than pleased the audience. We remember, too, though with all profundity, we can not make clear just why, Margaret Fenwick Monroe (yes, Peggy) . Nor is this all. We have yet to witness A Flower of Yeddo, a Japanese affair. The Maker of Dreams, and the present season’s edition of the annual Endeavors. F. C. R.
