>‘A Woman of No Importance’’ Is Clever Comedy. SCENE SET IN ENGLAND Society Life Is Caricatured By Famous Author. With Loeta Rogers east in tbe ingenue role of Hester Worsley, and Ted Baker as jnvepile, Oscar Wilde’s “A Wovuan of No Importance” will be ofered tonight and tomorrow in Guild theatre, by the Company under the direction of Fergus A. Beddie. Hester Worsley is a charming Ameri can girl who has made her way into Eng lish country society. Yet she thoroughly detests the idleness and snobbishness of of, and at one time she breaks forth in a tirade against many of their cus toms and manners. “I don’t think one should know about such things,” is the answer returned by Lady Stutficld. played by Doris Pittenger. Hester is characterized as the ‘‘Little Puritan,” by Lord Illingworth, and be cause she won’t allow him to kiss her. for his motto is to treat every woman as if he loved her. Leota Rogers is charming in this part, so full of life and character. She promises to win her audi ences with her captivating ways. Young Hero Makes Sacrifice, Ted Baker plays Gerald with strength and vigor. He is young and impulsive, and eventually falls for the charms of the young American girl who sets out to win him from the first. He is n young fellow in a bank who suddenly faces a world of opportunity through an offer of a secretaryship to Lord Illingworth yet he can forego all and sacrifice his future, due to his great love for both his mother and Hester. The part is full of character and power, one of the best juvenile roles of the whole year. The part of Mrs. Arbuthnot is extreme ly difficult, but the work of the past year done by Irene Stewart, who takes the role, indicates that she is capable of playing it to its fullest possibilities. There is character, weakness and emotion to be expressed and altogether the part is the most effective of the whole play. Claire Keeney Is English Lord. There are three ways to get along in society, according to Lord Illingworth to ‘‘feed people, amuse people, or shock people.” Lord Illingworth does all three in a wholesome way. Claire Keeney plays into this part with his usual abil ity, while Mrs. Allenby, almost bis par allel among the ladies, is equally well played by Marion Gilstrnp. Lady Hunstanton is unusually attrac tive as a country hostess, who contri butes to the fun with her absent minded ness. Marian Taylor plays the part for all it is worth. Dor’s Pittenger, as Lady Stutfield, successfully transposes her personality into the part of on unmar ried lady of 27. Martha Rice Plays Matron. Lady Caroline is au overbearing matron who talks two ways about everyone with thoroughly two-faced candidnes^s, and pesters her meek and mild husband, Sir John Pontefitict, treating him as a regu lar old fossil. Martha Rice plays Lady Caroline, with Reuel Moore cast in the role of Sir John. Carl Miller will piny the part of the Reverend Dr. Daubeny. This is his first part here this year, having been con nected until the present term with the Uivoli theatre in Portland. Mr. Kelvil member of Parliament and conversation alist on “moral certainties.” is played by Charlylo Goffreiero. Harold Brown as Lord Alfred, is n scream in the part of a perfect simp who finds no more variation in life than in the monotone in which he mumbles. Helen Casey and Darrel Larsen play the parts of Alice and Francis, respectively.

Who made him diqad to rapture and de spair, A thing that grief* es not and that never hopes, Stolid and stunneld, a brother to the ox? Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw? Whose was the Iband that slanted back this brow? Whose breath ble w out the light within this brain? Is this the Thing the Lord made and gave To have dominion over sea and land; To trace the stars and search the heav ens for piower; To feel the passion of Eternity?? Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the 6uns And pillared the blue firmament with light? Down all the «tretch of Hell to its last gulf There is no shape more terrible than this— More tongued with censure of the world’s blind greed—> Moire filled With signs and portents for the soul— Mow? fraught with menace to the uni verse. What gulfs between him and the sera phim! Slave af the whe»el of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades? What the long reaches of the peaks of song, The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose ? Through this dread shape the suffering ages look; Time’s tragedy is in that aching stoop; Through this dread shape humanity be trayed, Plundered, proflaned, and disinherited. Cries protest to the Judges of the World A protest that is also prophecy. O masters, lordls. and rulers in all lands Is this the handiwork you give to Gorl. This monstrous thing, distorted and soul quenched? How will you ever straighten up this shape; Touch it again with immortality; Give back the upward looking and the light; * Kcbuild in it the music and the dream; Make right the immemorial infamies, Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes? O masters, lords, and rulers in all lands How will the Future reckon with this Mau? How answer his brute question in that hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the World? How will it be with kingdoms and with kings— With those who shaped him to the thing j he is — i When this dumb Terror shall reply to ] God, After the silence of the centuries? ■iu—-i i.■' U-.. ■■'.'i.'sai.!1.1. ■egg" « Victory Gives Organization Good League Standing Srsiu Campbell hall and Sigma Delta Phi now stand near the bead of their respective leagues in the women’s dough nut series, having won three and lost one game each.
