r%w RPvPftHPvNDC 1921 Kloompy, (Julia Mason Rowe) ten days from Copenhagen, is a new maid in the Hunter household, and soon gets wise to the value of tips as hush-money. That night. Grandpa’s face is dotted with rouge by Monte, and he thinks he has the smallpox. In the end it is discovered that the cook in the hosiptal had only chickenpox and the quarantine was lifted, much to the delight of all. Grandpa was told of the plot to deceive him, but forgave Monte when he learned he was going to marry Dorothy May, a native of his beloved Yellow Bud. The cast was well balanced and had no individual stars. The young actors and actresses well merited the deluge of compliments paid them by members of the audience. With scarcely any previous experience they took a simple comedy- drama and put it over in a manner that held the closest interest of their audience, not once boring them with over or under acting. Judging from the liberal applause the play universally pleased. An added feature of the evening’s entertainment was a number of selections by the High School Orchestra, composed of Edith Phillips, piano; Roger Clark, cornet; Jeffries Chewning, trap drums; Josephine Barney, violin; Lucy Ninde, ukelele; Elizabeth Young, Coulter Phillips, Edward Koeppen, guitars. The orchestra showed the result of much practice and is a musical organization the school can well be proud of. SCENE FROM PLAY

Senior Class rpap (Tal(en from. the Fredericksburg Daily Star.) T HE stage ability of the dramatic club of the graduating class of the Fred¬ ericksburg High School had evidently preceded them, judging from the large audience which filled the Opera House Friday evening to witness their second presentation of Walter Ben Hare’s farce comedy, “ The Adventures of Grandpa,” in three acts. The play was originally produced as a small school sketch, with the idea of presenting it only once to aid in raising funds for the High School annual. I his was done a few weeks ago in the auditorium of Franklin’s School of Music. It met with surprising success from the very start. Through wise judgment or by chance, as the case may have been, each member of the cast was peculiarly adapted to interpret their characterization in the comedy. Fatent talent was discovered in the young men and women selected by Mrs. A. P. Rowe, who directed and staged the play, and to whom much credit for its success is due. With a stage presence and enunciation that would do credit to professionals, the nine members of the cast put over their lines in a manner that was most sur¬ prising, as well as entertaining to their large and appreciative audience. “The Adventures of Grandpa” is in three acts, and has a clever, as well as comic, plot. The play has to do with Grandpa Hammerhead, of Yellow Bud, Ohio, excellently characterized by Carl Happel, who visits his grandson, Monte Ray (Trent Wilson) in Chicago. Monte is supposed to be married, as he is receiving a liberal allowance from his wealthy grandfather on this understanding. The announcement of his visit spreads consternation among Monte and his friends. In desperation he borrows demure and pretty little Fucy Hunter (Josephine Dalton) from his college chum, Thad Hunter (Fevin Houston), who finally agrees to let his wife pose as the wife of Monte. Grandpa arrives and the ludicrous situations that arise as a result of the deception can hardly be imagined. Thad is made to assume the role of cook in the Hunter household, expecting “Grandpa” to leave in a short time. However, the real cook of the Hunter home is taken to a hospital, where her case is diagnosed as smallpox, and the house is quarantined and guarded by Officer McComack (John Chiles). Dorothy May (Adelade Rowe), a young college graduate, who is from Yellow Bud, now traveling com¬ panion with Mrs. Pansy Hopcoch, (Helen Hart), fair, fat and forty, are both made to remain in quarantine, while there to take dancing lessons, as well as Marie Ribeau, (Emeline Stearns) a girl from Paris, who is a dancing instructor. 75
