REED THESPIANS EXCEL

Harold King and Other Students
Give Clever Performance at
Anniversary Observance.
In commemoration of the 300th
anniversary of the birth of Moliere,
eminent French dramatist, the Reed
college drama club presented one of
liiw choicest farces, "A Doctor in
Spite of Himself," in the Reed chapel
Friday night.
The performance was staged with
the finesse and skill that redounded
to the credit of Otis D. Richardson,
drama club coach; and the Reed
players were very successful in in
terpreting the scintillating humor
and subtle satire of the. three-act
comedy. With its quaint 17th cent
ury setting the play had a unique
appeal.
Harold King, as Sganarelle, the
pseudo-doctor, eclipsed his former
successes on the Reed college and
Lincoln high school stages and
transcended the amateur in his
splendid interpretation of his role.
Ho was capably matched by Mar
time, his wife, portrayed by Miss
Anna Lee Smyth. Horace Boyden
demonstrated his versatility in three
parts, and Winfield Woodings car
ried the heavy role of Geronte, the
father. Miss Jane Bodine played
well the part of Lucinde and Miss
Elizabeth Ross that of Jaqueline,
her nurse. As Leandre, tha lover,
Robert Pilpel was effective and
James Stone as Lucas, an attendant
of Geronte. distinguished himself.
Curtis Griffin as Thibaut, a peasant,
was the other member of the cast.
