LEGITIMATE STAGE PLAY IS RELISHED Revival of Flesh-and-Bloodl Acting by Dufwins Will Be Continued Here By OLIVE M. DOAK A fair sized audience responded Women Ted Maiweirs three-act r(im(tAv nreRentfld Trrtdav l-ht at the Capitol by the Dufwin Players, . . v. ' " - - - -o The stage production Beemed to be received as a welcome change from the steady diet-of cinema fare which has been Salem's' for the past two years. And the hearty appUu8e ot the aadlaCft to the announcement that "Sis Hopkins will be presented at the Capitol by tho 8ame j , in about tw0 k indicated a real desire on the part of the public for more "flesh and blood theatre produc tion. The comedy, a type of western play which has become a favorite with authors, that of English no- bmt hecomag stranded on a western ranch where cowboys wear their chaps and kerchiefs and the' women flourish guns, pro duced situations which tickled the fancy of the Friday night audi ence. The work of Jack Cassldy as the English valet, and Ned Lynch as "Speed" Magnus quite pleased the audience. Cassidy did consist ently good work both In dialect and character. Lynch, easy In manner and possessed ot a voice which commands attention, also was worthy the appreciation he inspired The other members of the cast were not so well fitted to the parts they portrayed. No lines were dropped which were not cleverly concealed by ad lib, and the work of each was earnest. This went far to prevent too severe offense from unsaited casting. Given such a play as "Sis Hopkins'" with its rollicking humor and its deli- cIou8 comed gitnatlons, it is easy to imtLglM (he pleasure the Duf- win Players will give their Salem audience within a fortnight. ; From oh.arv-tion Friday niht .nni A ha raianr was the comedy f 'short" presented by Dorothy Mitchell and Val How- land between the second ana tmra (Turn to page 2, col. ) .
