George NVQ-nzel very cleverly enacted the part of Donald Vlark. a wellvto-do neighbor of Helen Adams. who hoped to marry her and finally suc- ceeded. The role of Helen Adams. an ex-movie actress and heiress to a large poultry farm. assumed by lieruadette R.t'il,lIll'l'. was admirably interpreted. ltnth lfay impcrsonated Vivian C'olc. the stage- slruclc maiden of Pineville, her part was rendered exceptionally well. Norbert linglerl. as Paul Jackson. also in love with Helen. finally married Vivian Cole, took his part to perfection. The part of lizra Parker, executor of Peter llunn's estate. was very cleverly enacted by Victor lless. Mr. Parker proved to be the villain of the play by his villainous attempts to force Helen to sell her farm. She was about to submit when llonald came to the rescue. The role of lictsy. the superstitious colored maid of llelcn Adams. was exceedingly well imperson- ated by Agnes Merner. Betsy kept the audience in laughter most of the time by her unexpected gestures and remarks. ltuth Ott and lidward Amaun acted the parts of Monica Fay assumed the role of Miss .lane Kramer, lJonald's socially ambitious aunt, who had planned for llonaldis marriage to Dorothy Masters, a part enacted by Mildred Camp. SYNOPSIS OF ACTS Act 1: Farm house living-room on a spring morning. Act 2: The same, the following summer. During Act 2 the curtain remains lowered for one minute to indicate the passing of half an hour. Act 3: The same as in Acts 1 and 2, a few weeks later. Time: The present, Spring and Summer. Place: Farm house near Pineville, Virginia. .... The cast worked diligently on their parts and were responsive to suggestions. The success of the play showed this. The appreciative audience was another proof of its success. Great credit must he given to Father Brissel, who selected the play and cast and coached them under his able supervision during the first weeks. After his transfer to Lima. lilr. R. Gabele con- tinued the work. The latter is also well versed along dramatic lilies as his previous plays have evidenced. The school orchestra under the direction of ltlr. Carl Lenz entertained the audience between acts. 4 gif? N135 N' ' X ' ' ' Q ,Y ,:S. Y Y ,L :i -4,:'S: fri: , , 'i-5.1 ' :tix 'ii - Lift e 4322 ' ' Tl ' will V
