I 1135 0 J , 5 ZARAGUETA , A ' The Spanish play, presented on May 23, was one of the most snappy, sparkling foreign plays ever given at the school. A good play with an excellent cast, what more could be wished! James Darnell, as Don Indalecio, a wealthy farmer and a gourmand, was a scream, His solicitious wife, Rita Goss, was charming. Ruth Adler, as Maruja, the loved one of Carlos, did an unusually good piece of work, receiving many compliments from the Spanish de- partment of the University. Carlos Ray- mond Childs, nephew of Don lndalecio, and lover of Maruja, gave a perfect pre- sentation of a difficult role. His heart- rending cries of agony were so piercing and real that even the cast began to fear that he had impaired his stomach with the milk and vinegar which always quarrel. Adolph Larson was perfect as Pio, a timid student tyrannized over by his mother, who was certainly endowed with a woman's tongue. James Hynd- man, as Zaragueta, was well worthy to create fear and laughter in the heart of any man. Don Indalecio and his family were cer- tainly fortunate in securing such servants as Lila Wood, Adelia Coles, as Perico, and Howard Snow, as the hack-driver. A good servant is a rare jewel. A pretty Spanish dance between acts furnished local coloring. CAST - Lelia Wood G .......... ........ .... eorgla Rita Goss Dona Dolores .... - .. ..

A visit to the Dyche Museum, a picnic lunch on a Kansas meadow, a trip to the track meet, and the play as a climax in the evening were some of the events which will make it stand out clearly as a bright spot in the high school days of those who par- ticipated. A special car and all that it signifies, with a congenial bunch, added to the day's enjoyment. We feel satisfied that the Kansans were duly impressed, . . , , .. .. ... ... .. -..,.... ....,..- .....-...,..--..,, .,.,,.

When the college comedy, At the End of the Rainbow, was selected, the object was to get as far as possible from any previous pre- sentation, and with the substitution of our own Westport for the college town, to carry out the tremendous enthusiasm for the school Uabove all others on the stage. How well the idea was developed and how splendidly the cast entered into the free, natural swing of the college life may best be described by those fortunate enough to have seen the production. It was a comedy primarily, but there were moments tense with suspense and interest and it was then that the players rose to the true heights of dramatic perfection. Jack Mcffitt, as Robert Preston, a promising young lawyer, played a diffi- cult part with the ease and assurance of a star, while Ruth Weinberger, as his beau- tiful ward, won the hearts of her audi- ence by her appealing grace and ability. Ann Elizabeth Hill, as Phyllis Lane, made a typical college girl, led by the captain of the Varsity team in the person of Conrad Eckert, to induce a hesitating player into joining the squad and then finding herself head over heels in love with him. Johnny O'Keefe, of Caliban fame, played the part of the handsome player, Douglas Brown, to perfection. Marjorie Harbaugh and George Bates, two pledges and psuedo-servants, carried on a most charming love affair, the lat- ter's encounter with Jane, or Isabell Sears, the eccentric maid of the Theta Phis, furnishing a most refreshing bit of dialogue. Henrietta Shane and Ter- ence Clark, as Nellie and Dick Preston, tiffed and squabbled as any young mar- ried couple might be expected to do. Caro Mitchell, as the Imp or college
