The plot centered around Christine, who rented the land for her refreshment stand from Mrs. Van Dyke's agent. When Mrs. Van Dyke found such a low-brown stand on her property, she set out to repudiate the lease. Christine, who is very clever, shows her she is a person entirely different from the wealth-worshipping group to which Mrs. Van Dyke has been accustomed. Christine discovered unex- pected allies in the niece and nephew of Mrs. Van D of romance and comedy to a very enjoyable end. THE CAST OF C DRUSILLA. a Little Girl About Town - - - PHYLLIS.

The plot con- cerned an advertising convention that the wives and sweet- hearts attempted to break up. The scene was laid in the lobby of u hotel. A fine cast of characters took evident enjoyment in pre- senting the play. Noteworthy was the work of Guy Cun- ningham as a back-slapping, some-joke cane-twirling plot- ter of the convention. He played his role with spontaneity and zest that carried the play forward. Helen Gowitzka as his sweetheart took her first part in the high school dra- matics with a pleasing naturalness. She is especially to be commended for working in this role, which had been assigned to her sister, Margaret, in the short space of five days. Gene Cornell and Kathaleen Martin played the comic leads-u negro maid and bell-boy in their usual enthus- iastic manner, and were good for many laughs from the audience. Ray Ford also making his debut in high school dra- matics, displayed a plan for acting and a fine speaking voice. Janice Hoffman, though cast in a small role, made excellent use of her opportunities and presented a charm- ing characterization. Thelma Caywood, as Ivy Vine the clinging type portrayed her role to perfection. Earl Cash- man and Thelma Hough made a pleasing couple, both in appearance and histrionic ability. Kathryn Predmore, as the jealous wife, gave an interesting interpretation to her part as the 'iscoldf' Fine stage presence was displayed by Harry Vandervort in his part of an elderly gentleman, and his fine make up helped to make the role more convincing. Lois Knaus was more than adaruate as the proprietress of The Granite Housef' Harlow Kendig as the head 'of the convention was most convincing in his characterization. Credit should he given to Miss Froom for an all-round excellent production. The cast was well chosen and direct- ed, and the staging, make-up and costumes were note- worthy. CAST OF CHARACTERS MRS.
