The Cast THE NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE TIGER Martha- by-the-Day lBy Julie M. Lippmannj Martha by the Day is a clever comedy in three acts. The plot is woven about Martha Slawson. The first act of the play takes place in a fiat in New York City and the last two acts on the Ronald Estate in the Catskill Mountains. - The part of Martha. taken by Elvira, is a very heavy part. Martha is burdened with two children l Ad Eversz and Ruth Heckesj whom she is trying to educate, and her husband, John Dillon, who has an attack of tuberculosis. Because of his sickness they go to the mountains where they take care of the estate of Mrs. Sherman CEdythe Simmonsj whose hus- band is in prison. Martha not only solves her own problems but also the problems of those people with whom shevcomes in contact. She befriends a homeless girl, Claire Lang, tBetty Evansi and sac- rifices everything for her. Claire finally marries Frank Ronald QFloyd Fortnumi. ' Allen Sherman fHarold Hamleyi comes in in the second act and a very dramatic scene takes place between his wife and him. Martha proves him a worthy man and all comes out right. Amy Pelham CAnne Huibregtsej is picked out by Mrs. Sherman as a charming wife for Ronald, but Amy is in love with someone else andARo- nald wants Claire. Martha helps to solve this problern also. The butler tGlen Konowi constantly says the wrong' thing and Martha has a great time with him. Lundy fAlfred Stindtj is very clever and his frankness furnishes much amusement. The part of Ma Slawson is taken with much talent by Lola Boettcher. This is a great play and with Mr. Goodrich as coach it will be a certain success. Francie Slawson . . Cora Slawson .....
