Offering on Program Praised r_ Annual Prep Drama Meet Ends Tnui^lil; to Give (’up to Winner — By PHYLLIS VAN KIMMELL l’lio high school drama tournn j merit pump to quite a decided eli max last night when four plays wen presented at the (Juilil theater. Tlu ]i I a v s , representing Milwankii I'liiini, St. Helens, Marshfield, and Newborg high schools, were, as a whole, a pretty heavy undertaking for high sellool students. With the exeeption of tlio Xewberg [day, “The Boor," the evening's reper toire w'as unusually lieavv, consist ing of a very traffic, a very poig nant and n highly drnnintie group. Tlio first play, “Tln> Valiant,” which was presented by tlio Mil wnukie Union high school, is a play widely known in tin' realm of one acts. Jt is a story of a stoical young man condemned to die who has built around himself an air of mystery Aliicli cannot be penetra ted by the kindly warden, the saint ly priest, nor even the charming young lady, who has the only fern mine part in the play. The east. I think, was extremely well-bal anced. The three leading charac ters, Howard Rtcib, Charles Elwcll, and dean Jameson, showed a degree of ability far above the average. Mr. El well was nearer to a high plane of character portrayal, both through voice intonation and ges ture, than any actor throughout the evening. The second play, “The Eldest,” presented by Rf. Helens high school, was remarkable for its one out standing character, Hose, played by Shirley McLennan. Miss McLen nan showed very good pantonrine technique and was most convinc ing'. Her tragic sol) as she bent over the torn remains of her only' love letters, was realistic enough to ob vionsly affect members of the audi ence. The rest of the cast did their parts smoothly', and the entire act was well coordinated. “Dust of the Hoad,” with a cast from Marshfield high school, labor ■■<1 exceedingly well under a big difficulty'. The lighting for their play was intended to include foot lights, and without theso a certain amount of effect was lost. The play was a wienl commanding tiling. There were dramatic passages whiel did not rel ieve all they should have, but Cynthia Hall as Prudence Steele, was exactly the cold, heart less woman that she portrayed. The atmosphere of the play was enhanc ed by a strange green light that shown steadily on tlio figuro of the Presence.” After approximately two hours and a half of very serious drama. Mm last play, “The Hour,” from Newberg, relieved tlio tension with a lot of good laughs. Gordon Do cine should bn commended for htf •aok of restraint, which is tlio oh senec of burlesque and farce. Tic was good, and the audienee showed its approval. He had enough stage presence, too, to carry off any un expected hitches which occurred. The easts of the throe plays in full are as follows: “The Valiant,” Charles Elwcll, Mario liisio. Archie fbillis, Howard Steiih, Edwin Foil wick, and Jean Jameson. “The Eldest,” Shirley McLennan Heiilah Sharp, Louise George, Vor non Peek, Bertram Trosell, Olleta Boyed, Edward Boothe. “Dust of the Road,” Cynthia Hall (Continued on Page Two) Physics Professors Receive Fellowships Hubert J.
