Brad orc! Ie:-Izwzfvcvlfs mor Qramaficis R N the evening of Fehruary 27th ahout four huntlretl people gatheretl in our school hall to see-what? XVe were toltl hy uniler-classmen we were to present School for Scandal, antl many were the witle-openetl eyes when A Rose o' Plymouth Town was seen at the top of the programs. The play is a romantic cometly in four acts, :intl written hy Miss Beulah lVIarie Dix antl lVIrs. lfvelyn Greenleaf Sutherlantl. 'lihe scene is laid in Plymouth in the early New lfnglantl tlays, when the lntlians were so hostile to our forefathers. 'l'he story tleals especially with the love affair of a young French maitl antl an amhitious young settler. lncitlentally the romance of another couple is hrought in, also the evervtlav affairs in Captain Standishls home, which is the principal scene of action. i The stage represented a room in Stantlish's home with all the Colonial furnishings.

Brad Ofd '?43 'c t5, drawn near, the dresser with the pewter plates and the old spinning-wheel and candles all contributed to the desired effect. , 0 O n The men's parts were especially well handled, for it requires great skill in this line for a girl to assume a masculine character. In manners, voice, ' ' S d' l th ca and esture they were all up to a high standard. Miles tan isi, e p- g tain of Plymouth, was finely portrayed by the brusque and storming manner of Martha Stimson. Beatrice Cooper as audience by her reckless and daring manner. As the true lover and fighter ' ' ' a' l h . kill she played admirably. Especially in her stage falls did sie s ow 1 s worthy of an experienced actress. Wilma Ball in the part of John lvlargeson represented perfectly the early colonist, brave and ready for battle, yet the ardent lover of the little French maid Rose. As Philippe de La Noye, Hazel lVIerrill in every way proved herself excellent. In voice, manner, and especially in walk she was perfect. In for lVIiriam she showed the true worth of Garret Foster immediately fascinated the entire her rather timid yet ardent love the Plymouth settler. Miriam Kleppinger, taking the part of llfliriam Chillingsley, the faint- hearted, modest Puritan maid, was worthy of especial mention. Her gestures and manners were so natural that no one could wonder at Philippe's affection for her. Barbara Standish was represented by Ethel Ham. By her quiet. matronly way she showed herself to be just the housewife and helpmeet for the gruff captain. The part of Resolute Story, the captain's aunt, taken by Gertrude Sawyer, was admirably done. Giving to Hilda NIalcolm's illness, to whom this part was first assigned, Gertrude was required to work it up in two weeks. Aunt Resolute at once took the house by storm, and in the realistic manner in which she told of the blockade fight and her hiding place in the cellar with her rheumatics she was perfect. The heroine, Rose de La Noye, was portrayed by Ruth VVhitney. Truly as Barbara said, she did bring the sweet o' the morning with her. She was winning in manner and graceful in every move. As the winsome sweetheart of the reckless Garret Foster she was perfect 1 and as the brave little woman, the captain's comrade, she was capital. We feel that we owe a great deal of our success to Miss VVilkinson, who trained us, and also to Miss Dix, the author of the book, who gave us some valuable suggestions, also to Fraulein Kammer, who was so kind to come to our last rehearsals and offer helpful suggestions. Edna Bowne. Sue Renwick, and Edith Clark were the efhcient stage managers, who could not have been excelled in the performance of their arduous duties. l8Sl
