Klan. The cast of 'The Forty-nlners, .. most recent Amsden theatrical hit, gave their final performance on this stage last night. As drama critic from the nearby metropolis I wit- nessed their swan song. This evening's entertainment of one-act plays lfor each of the five acts of The Forty-niners is a play within itselfl, though quite lengthy, held the audience in rapt attention. Now for a short review of the play. The curtain rises on Act I entitled Beginner's Dream. The scene-Iackson Public School: the time-Sept., 1937. Twenty-eight young players unfold the drama of the ceaseless search for a little in a world of so much. Here special recognition is owed to six people who did so much toward shaping and molding this cast. First, sincere gratitude is extended to the Producer, Miss Caskie, for her tireless efforts. Secondly, thanks to Miss Meyers for her fine understanding as Director. Roses to Miss Koons for her careful attention in costuming each actor. Gratitude is sent to Miss Cole for her skillful application of make-up. The problems of lighting were painstakingly handled by Mi s DeEulis. The application of sound so ably arranged by Mrs. Now is lastly recognized. The instruction and aid of these superb advisors had been instrumental to the success of this production. The actors themselves gave an admirable account of their talents. From an occasional falterlng at the opening they rose to a strengthened climax and conclusion . . . and the curtain fell.
