of Michaelis. Of the other characters, the one showing the most amusing touch was Martha Beeler, played by Miss Marie Dougherty, in which she clearly portrayed that she is a true follower of Thalia. The rest of the cast included Mr. Harry Schoelwer, Miss Crystal Levy, Mr. Albert Cash, Miss Anna Purcell and Miss Elizabeth Langmeier, all of whom intellectually interpreted their parts in a man ner that showed earnest work and good training. March 16, l9l5 -Lady Gregoryis one-act comedy, uSpreading the News, presented by the Schuster Piayers for the Civic League. Those who took part were Leland McMurphy, Rea E. Bowers, John Alexan- der, Allen Stelten, Bert Thompson, Harry Schoelwer, Ralph Adams, Albert Cash. Edna Rohan, and Irene Spencer. April l2, I9I5eDrama-Recital. Helen Sherman-CriH-ith. Plays and stories. A Fallen Idol and iiA Man's Voice, by Mrs. GrifEth, were excellently presented by the Schuster Players. Those taking part were Corinne Fibbe, Gertrude Brice, Estelle Borkes, Faith Tracy, Madeleine Mitchell, Edna Rohan, Dorothy McCorcl, Nolia Gatliff, Elizabeth Ebersole and Edna Ramsey. A11 did very good work, make ing the most of the humorous situations, the clever acting making up in great meas- ure for the thinness of plot and faulty construction of the plays. Mrs. Martin gave a beautiful reading from Mrs. Griffith's iiRosemary for Re! membrance, Miss Hazel Sloyer delicately interpreted the HDance 0f the Apple Blossoms,u and Mrs. GriHith herself gave a reading from one of her books after a short introciuction by Miss Emily Collins. Between the two acts of A Man's Voice, Miss Irene Griffin entertained the audience with several clevEr pianologues. April I9, I91 5 F Blanchette, a threeeact play by Eugene Brieux, presented by the Little Playhouse Company under the direction of Mrs. Helen Schusterv Martin. Blanchette is perhaps the most finished production the Little Playhouse Com- pany has put on this year. The three acts were sustained throughout With continu- ity and sincerity. Miss Pauline MacLean upheld the difficult leading part with remarkable ability and in a finished manner rarely seen outside the ranks of pine fessionals. Mr. Boyd Agin as Rousset showed his professional experience, his consistent characterization making a rather thankless part interesting and vital. Miss Corrine Fibbe's pantomime in the part of Mme. Rousset was exceptionally good, and she sustained the difEcult characterization throughout the play with sur- prising finish. Leland McMurphy as Galoux, Nolia Gatliff as Lucie, his daughter, Harry Schoelwer as George, his son, Gertrude Cash as Mme. Jules, Allen Stelten as Morillon, Albert Cash as Auguste, his son, John Alexander as Bonenfant, the roadmender, and Ralph Adams as the postnian all did exceptional and interesting work.
