THE OGDEN STANDARD, . . - THE SENIOR PLEASES 1 II VEBY URGE j f AUDIENCE : Not only was the presentation of Edward B. Morris' drama "The Senior" last night at the Orpheura a triumph for Director T. Earl Pardoe, a high compliment to the ability of the talented members of the St. Jo seph's church choir and Council 777, Knights of Columbus and musical di rectress, Mrs. Maurice Kennedy, but ft gave an evening of unalloyed pleas I ure to a capacity audience From the manner in which the members of the cast were absorbed Jn their parts and seeminglv obliv ious of the presence of the audience, it was apparent that thev had been rehearsed with the "four wall" idea, and if there was any criticism to make, it would be of the audience who, through personal acquaintance . with the players, almost spoiled the Jg strongest scene in the drama, and ' wa in winch Mr Ravmond Ryan J' and Miss Ella O'Neill kept their poise in spite of the audible "titter ing" of their friends, was worthy of special commendation. I In addition to the excellent acting of all who had speaking parts, there were several pleasing surprises in a musical way. The singing of "Blow the Smoke Away" by Mr. Ryan in the first act, made it apparent to all pres ent that the singer possessed a pleas ing britone voice and the one was interpreted in an excellent manner, one verse being resung as an encore Miss Margaret "Babe" Grill only ap peared once in the action of the play, but she made that appearance count as one of the features of the evening, by singing "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" from 'Isle o' Dreams), with mch charming expression that she wns compelled to respond to four encores. Miss Grill posseses an ex cellent soprano voice and a most pleasing stage presence. She was as sisted in the chorus of her song by Hie mixed chorus of twelve voices, which added pleasure. A musical feature not often heard was a ladies' quartette, composed of Edna Healy-Smyth, Margaret McNuI ty, Ruth Thatcher and Florence Ma W ginnis, who all possess excellent f voices. They sang the "Lullaby Song" from "Erminie" with an exquisite blending of well controlled voices. Though the song occupied consider able time, an encore was enthusiastic ally called for and answered in an equally charming manner. The glee club sang "Like Mother Used to Make" and the singing of "On the Old Virginia Shore" (Gabriel) by Ed. Greenwell, J. A. Junk, Ben Critchlow and Francis Goddard sounded like n "real" quartette, the voices of the well known singers blending with organ-like harmony. The song was de servedly encored and one verse sung again. Margaret Toy gave a dainty violin solo and the accompaniments were ably played by Miss Mabel Jvrauss. me musical part of the evening as a whole gave great pleas ure to all and Mrs Kennedy is de serving of much praise for the ex cellent training of the singers In the different numbers. Bui "the play's the thing" with apologies to Shakespeare and the plavers were well cast. In the first place the curtain rose at 8 32, some thing very unusual in an amateur production and from the first ap pearance of Raymond Ryan in the prologue "Memories of Any Old Grad uate," the audience felt that if the other players were equally as much at home in their parts, that the suc cess of the drama was assured Mr. Ryan was Gordon Waanwrlght, a Senior, who had worked his way through college by running a lunch room and In hit place of business, the first act was set He held his part firmly in hand throughout, displaying an excellent speaking voice control led to suit every situation and he showed histrionic ability of no mean order. In the love scenes with Miss O'Neill, who was Eleanor Forbes, the work of both was highly commend able. Miss O'Neill in personal ap- peaiance, charm of manner and cap ability as an actress, gave a most satisfying interpretation of the lead ( lng role of Eleanor Forbes and the large bouquet of pink roses which she received was well deserved. Steve Keogh, as Perry Spencer, a snobbish classmate of Wainwright, proved one of the surprises of the evening. The role was an unpopular one, but he handled it with skill, his voice being fully sufficient to the needs of the part. The comedy roles were exception ally well taken, Delia Farmer play ing the part of Violet, a helpful sort of person, and Harvey Cahill as "Beanc" a freshman. Miss Farmer is a finished commedienne and her part In the play was one of the main features. She also received a bouquet for her excellent work, Mr. Cahill, as "Beane," was an ex cellent foil for the strong-minded Vio let and the acting of the two created a great deal of amusement. In the character role of Dub Duf fleld, an English debator, Leo Clark found Instant success. John Fisher as Pug Collins, a senior, kept his poise well, his "getting over" of sev eral pointed "locals" without the least semblance of self-consciousness, being a compliment to his ability. John McLoughlin received favor able comment for his capable inter pretation of Nick Meade. Bob Adams acted the minor Tole of "Tommy Thompson." a football star, ably and gave good assistance in the work of the glee club, Jean, a chauffeur and Mike, a Junch counter chef, were capably handled by A. T. LaFreniere and Ed Brophy. The role of Gertrude Spencer, a vain young lady, who, like her broth er, has an exalted Idea of her posi tion In society, was most naturally played by Ruby Cook. May Conroy played the difficult part of Mrs. Lee, Eleanor's artisto cratic aunt, in a commendably self contained manner Margaret McNultv and Margaret Grill looked and acted well In the minor roles of Miss Jones, a Lake ville girl, and Miss White, a visitor. The play is one of an excellent I tvpe. rich in sentiment and pleasing In humor. It tells a story of a young map of good family, who works his way through college, meet ing obstacles in a social way. which cause him to abstain entirely from attending social events. He meets a young lady of wealth and good fam ily, in an informal manner the meet, ing resulting in a case of mutual love. He accepts an invitation to a dance where she is a guest of hisr snobbish classmate. He receives a formal in troduction to her and during the evening, "cuts out" his classmate. Her guardian finds out that he Is the proprietor of a lunch room and for bids her to see him again. He later meets the guardian. Mrs. Lee and learus that she is a triend of his mother He tells her who his moth er was and her feeling toward him is immediately changed. The lovers are congratulated by Wainw right's classmates and his sweetheart's young lady friends and the curtain falls on a pretty love scene. The drama is in three acts, the first one is laid in Wainwright's i lunch room, the second in the col lege reception room and the third, on the college campus. All three are pleasingly arranged, the first one In particular, containing a number of original ideas. The members of the mixed chorus are Mav Conroy, Edna Smyth, Mar garet McNulty. Florence Maglnnls, Ruth Thatcher. Mayme Kennedy, Ben Critchlow, Robert Adams, Francis Goddard, J. A. Junk, Ed Greenwell. Ed. Brophy and N. O. Ogden. With the addition of P. K. Smith, the seven gentlemen of the chorus formed the Glee club. , The play will be given again to night and a large attendance Is expected. oo SCHOOLS LACKING IN GOOD MORALS Boston. Mass., Feb. 10.

Webb tired of the conver sation and walked out of the ofiice Douty followed him around the prem lses in a rising mood of temper, final ly telling him that he would "beat the face off Everett" if he didn't set tie with him The witness told him that he would not touch Everett, it he could get hold of a neckyoke. This angered Douty and he seized the doc tor and wanted to fight him. As Douty is much the larger man, Dr. Webb called the police and Officer Marlin made the arrest. Desk Sergeant Hagbart Anderson testified that Douty was in a fighting mood when he was booked and had used some violent language. Officer Marlin said that Douty had been drinking, but that he was not trou ble some when arrested, and had only been a little Impudent when he wa: being searched.
