MIDDIES STAGE “COME
OUT OF THE KITCHEN"
First Performance Of 3 - Act j
Comedy Giver In Auditor
ium Saturday
CAST OF CHARACTERS
The first performance of the Mid j
shipmen’s Masqueraders production ol
“Come out of the Kitchen." was giver
Saturday night in the Naval Arad
emy Auditorium with great success j
The play is the three-act comedy
ty Augustus Thomas, based on the
story by Alice Duer Miller, and serv
ed as a vehicle for Ruth Chattertoi
to star in for a long season in Nev
York and on the road.
It is a delightful comedy of th<
favorite South of fiction, with spark
ling lines and amusing situations
Without an excellent “leading lady’
it would fall quite flat, so to W. T
Pearce, who as "Olivia Dangerfield," ;
filled this difficult role, must go s
large share of the honors of making
the piece a success Mr. Pearce was
extraordinarily good, probably th<
l<st "girl” actor the Midshipmet
Masqueraders have had in sonit
years.
Another Poarce, E. S.. playing op
posite “Olivia,” in the part of Bur
ton Crane, the dashing young north- !
erner who rents the Dangerfielt’
home for a six weeks' rest In the
country and succumbs almost on
sight to the charms of Olivia disguis
ed as the cook of his establishment
took his part very well, his difficult
scenes with Olivia 1 eing excellent.
Whole Performance Smooth
The Midshipmen’s Shows are al
ways far above the average and this
one was up to, if not above, their
usual high standard. The perform
ance whs smooth, the parts well
taken, and the stage managing per
fect. The Masqueraders dedicate
their program to Mrs. W. D. Brereton
Jr., R. S. Pease, W. J. Plimmer and |
Lieutenant A. S. Wotherspoon tc ]
whose help they modestly say is due I
any success they may achieve. But
without having put a great deal of
intelligent and faithful work on their
ports Saturday night's performance
could never have been obtained, no
matter how good the coaching.
The characterization was excellent
