V r l F r La QFQQ1 THE SQHENQQQH JOURHAL:,f:.1f Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins clash words, gestures and occasionally small ob- jects. However, Mr. Tompkins is very gentle with his dear daughter Vivian. Clarence jackson, the money mak- ing type of boarder, a Hebrew of dis- puted iinancial standing is very clearly given in the part of Iape Samuels. The audience was delighted with his successful lisping manner. Fred Eckert, as the artist, Christo- pher Penny, is deeply in love with Vivian and lavishes his affections very successfully. He has nothing to offer her except his talent and his art while VV right, played by Louis Rosen- Held, a rich old bachelor offers Vivian, money, love, luxuries and everything. The part of the great music lover Harry Larkcom is played by Louis Fushan. His talent and style are ridiculed by all until the stranger suc- ceeds in causing the boarders to ap- preciate Har1'y's success. Such a ine cast and enthusiasm, to- gether with Mr. Seatwrighfs deeply appreciated help made The Passing of the Third Floor Back well known as the success of all Schenleyls class plays. KATHERINE C. PLOUGH. T FINANCIAL NOTES '18 I wonder if Freddie Eckert ever sang this: It's a hard thing to collect the class dues, It's a hard thing to dog It's a hard thing to collect the class dues, When the work's all up to you. 'Good bye! little dimal, Farewell! two bits too.' Itis a hard thing to collect class dues, When they'1'e 'all broke' to you. CLASS BOOK COMMITTEE 16

I I -g lllll II! - THE SCHEHLEW JOURNAL : l-'-:I Ili lllll. 'Wllqi CLASS PLAY CASTE educated, innocent, undignified orphan girl who doesn't think there is any- thing pleasant in the whole world. She is Mrs. Sharpe's slave and no- thing suits. Poor Sitatia never gets any credit from any one, but she is re- warded in the end. Olive Scott is seen in the role of Vivian Tompkins, daughter of Major Tompkins and his wife. Vivian is a blushing young girl with too many admirers. She is fine and her part is well represented by her blushes and sighs. Olive is very prominent in the firelight and knows just how to handle her admirers. Esther Heatley, Mrs. De Hooley assumes that aristocratic air and haughty mood just as though it were natural. She is the supposed wife of a great English nobleman but reallv is the better half Qassuminglyj of an Irish potato peddler. Bessie Seepin, the wife of Major Tompkins and mother of Vivian is surely able to create a temper when her darling Majo1 makes his ap- pearance and displeases her. She makes him sit up and take notice and is not at all backward in givinghim a piece of her mind. The part of the petite old maid is well represented by Olive Feldman. She tries to look nineteen while her real age is forty. Her voice is very clear and her gossip is 'easily heard. The other members of the cast are Emanuel Rosenthal, Louis Rosenf1eld, Fred Eckert, Albert Cuff, Louis Eushan and Clarence jackson. Emanuel Rosenthal, alias Patsy has the lead of the entire play. He first enters the boarding house a stranger to all its inhabitants. Shortly after he becomes acquainted with the others, he effects a. change which is felt by all. At the close of the play he has completely changed the nature of all the boarders. i'Patsy's earnest man- ner is extraordinary and his wonder- ful eye power cannot be resisted. He has some splendid speeches and de- livers them just as splendidly. His manner is in accord with the char- acter he represents. Major Tompkins, was played by Albert Cuff. Albert is a good match for Bessie, his wife especially when
