tion of Miss Rucie Miller.i were
most successful in their second
presentation of the play 4Unuer
('over" at the opera house Friday
evening. The play was ' given
for the benefit of the Pattie A.
Clay and .was' a brilliant success.
The young, artists' deserve much
praise.
The story of the , play involves
the smugging of jewels into the
United States by. Stephen Den
by, the lover of Ethel Cartwright
week end guest of Michael Har
rington. Miss Cartwright in or- j
' or to protect her sisters guilt
for burglary, has been forced in
to secret service work that she
might ascertain the smuggler.
Miss ' 'Doily Pickes. who played
the part of Miss Cartwright, a
oung society "girl, and Daily

bfective, carried the burden of
the tense story that was almost'
professional. The part of Steph-i
