With Each Universal Electric Range Sold During This Demonstration We Will Give a 12-Piece . Set of Universal Cast Aluminum Ware Characterization in Annual De Molay Playt "A Full House" Are Sketched Play to Be at Capitol Theater on Thursday With Perry Reigelman As Coach It was a difficulVtask for the director of "A Full House," the De Molay play that will be pre sented at the Capliol theater next Thursday night, to choose among the bevy of beautiful and talented girls who tried out for parts in the play. But it has been 1 said that the present cast ranks especially high in feminine pulchritude. And none the less does it rank high in dramatic ability. The fast tempo of "A Full House" requires talent of a high order and the women of the cast are fully capable of handl ing both the tense and the comedy situations. Fay Jo Walz, who carries the part of Ottily, the charming wife is well known to Salem audiences in her appearances in "The Whole i she has had experience in the op Town's Talkine." 'The Charm erettas "Princess Chrysanfche- School," and "Good Gracious An nabelle," in which play she took the part of Annabelle. In the present vehicle, she has a difficult role to handle as she is consider ably worked up over the fact that her husband (Carlton Gaines) left her the day after her wedding os tensibly to go to Cleveland on a business trip. She discovers that he went to, Boston instead and got mixed up with the theft of a ruby necklace. She has a case of hy sterics over a pair of red Bilk stockings her husband promised to a chorus girl, and with a few other events like burglars, thieves and policemen she enjoys a very pleasant evening, which ' makes strong demands on her dramatic ability. Mildrea rugn, as Miss Wlnn acker, the aunt, has a character into which she fits nicely. Miss Pugh also had a part in "The Whole Town's Talking," and also in "Kempy," so her work bears the stamp of experience. The aunt is a hard-boiled, suspicious creature, and her performance promises to be highly entertain ing. Alida Olsen is taking the part of Vera Verson, the famous chorus girl who took Ned Pembroke in and nearly broke up his engage ment to Daphne. She appeared in "The Little Princess," "Once in a Blue Moon," and in "The Boomerang" in the Oakland high school in California. She comes in at the crux of the play and For Mother f-The Store With the Friendly Spirit turns " things upside-down gener ally. Alma Farmer, as Mrs. Pern Broke, comes on the scene Just in time to reclaim her ruby neck lace. Just what she does with the thief will have to be seen in the play. She also appeared in "The Whole Town's Talking.'? Thelma La Duke, who was giv en the part of Susie, the maid, promises to do a great deal to ward the merriment of the eve ning. She has a difficult role and gets away with it in a creditable manner. Her desire to go to Sioux City becomes lamentably pathetic but full of laughter. While Miss La Duke has never appeared in any regular dramatic productions, mum and El Bandiao. It will be remembered that last year when the De Molay boys produced " A Pair of Sixes" and set the whole theater laughing that the star of the first act was Miss Florence Power, who took the part of the fire-eating, gum chewing stenographer. Miss Pow- v. Nearer, Nearer, Comes the day. Bertha wants What did she rayr if: A SCARF and Tie to match!

Another star of "A Pair of Sixes" will be seen in "A Full House" when Julia Query appears as an Irascible women who has apparently leased her apartment to a pack of thieves. Miss Query made a decided hit last year with her characterization of "Coddles," the English maid. She wanted to do something different this year, so the part of Mrs. Fleming, the owner of the apartment where the action takes place. On account of the fact that her services were in demand in the high. school play, "What Happened to Jones?" she was not burdened with a heavy part. Miss Query takes the part of Mrs. Fleming with vigor and decision, and things begin to snap when she arrives on the scene. So any one looking to- see her as another "Coddles" will have to look again. Her work proves that she can do serious parts as well as foolish ones.
