The performance of ''Hurry! Hur

Dramatic club at Howells Opera

works that have been given on the
'
same stage. It is a social comedy ;
the trace of problem study and sa
tire IS not overworked and in no
manner interferes with the free
gestion of a holiday dinner.
I am not going to say that this
was tile best production ever seen on
an Oakley stage—so far as I am
animal
concerned, there Is no such
as "best". Leave the superlatives to
the blurb-writers the movie stu

a comparative degree. What is a
fellow to say when the big nioments
come, if he has already used up all |
the superlatives of the English Ian
guage? What could he do, except re
sort to the American language?
♦ Clearly I see that the use of many
superlatives In dally conversation
words on extraordinary occasions.
The performance was excellent
and greatly enjoyed by a large
crowd.
When one saw the grayheaded,
broken Mr. Hooker, it was difficult
to believe that this was the same
man as tlie young and jolly barber
we know as Eldon Mecham. Mr.
Hooker darkly hints at an attempt
to escape the ill of life, whether by
falT means or foul. No doubt he does
this to obtain more sympathy from
his wife and family—not that he
really intends
threat.
Hooker was a very real example of
the plotting, matchmaking female,
working overtime. By the way, there
was quite a bit of kissing between
Mr. and Mrs. Hooker, but it was all
in the family.
Hector Bates did. good work as
Steve Hooker, the son, a rather
naive undergraduate. Anona Severe
