T Now since, as a typical I-Iillsider, one of your decided attributes is patriotism, you have x A A i bought entrance and are sitting this moment apprehensively waiting for the curtain to draw - aside and disclose the first of the two famous one-act plays presented by the equally famous slr Seniors. You may have observed the questionable entertainment these nervous and quite inex- ll i perienced actors are having peeking through curtains to view with quaking knees the audience N! Q1 which is to see this, their maiden production. But at length the curtain, lame and staggering, ' Q 6 N if is drawn apart and you see Mildred Rhodes and Betty Marsh transformed fno, that's not the N I RE wordj into beautiful and cultured girls, and you must admit they give a good imitation of A72 -:-,T sophistry. 1 Presently on the stage, which is made to represent summer cottages on the Bay shore f fno, I don't know where that isj, appear Fred Hansen and Russell Neider, representing two NV acceptable young men fit took a great deal of training to get this role down patj. After a N f N V' desirable lapse of time Ruth Van Sickle appears as an impatient, self-important society dame, 'N fi 'Lf which Part you must admit she plays well and with remarkable facility. Q il V Then we mustn't forget Szekely, or Matthew, who performed creditably. But, as I have A A not yet mentioned her purposely, the star of the play is none of these, but Anita Murphy in F A f the role of maid. I doubt if I or even you, who are less interested, will forget her acting M Q ability. Now, if I have failed to name the play which you have just witnessed, it is Queen - QI Anne Cottages , by M. E. Davis. 'NF If, despite Anita's excellent performance, you were rather bored, your interest will be X f :la regained by the second play, 'Op-O'-Me Thumb by Frederick Fenn and Richard Pryce, E C I which takes place fas you will see on the programj in the laundry of Madame Jeanne Marie 56:- W Napoleon de Gallifet Didier, in London. On no account, will I repeat that atrocious name, W so know you that Margie Huber is playing the part, and she had to acquire the French QM, accent but came equipped by nature with the proper temperament. You also behold three l well-dressed laundry girls, Gladys Ainslie, Blanche Broderick and Jinny Joyce Uinny has Q resurrected that coat from her now rather remote baby daysj . It took considerable persuasion ' Q? to make them submit to the ignominy of wearing those clothes. Now, that girl with the Wee 5 4 red sweater and big wash basket is Ruth Parks, and since she has a monstrous opinion of her ' 5 A .5 proficiency in dramatics I would not applaud her if I were you, she is really ultra-sentimental, -5 don't you think? But here comes Bill Clark, playing the part of a hard boiled individual 4 abominably, but Bill will learn. Really, in case you have not realized it, may I repeat that you A A A have now seen the two one-act plays, given by the likewise famous forty-five , and you need Q f not say, the plays were excellent, but- . - 'N f i N f x 1 W N f N I a p . ills Q5 ' . a - ' ? in I , I 5- if f PHARUS f X -6 .
