The Frazcr was well filled Inst eve ning with the friends of the Junior class of the high school, who had gathered to hear part of the class present the melodrama "Among the Breakers." The piece was put on by the class as Its customary contribu tion to the term-end orntoricals re quired of the school each year. This time, instead of each nttemptlng sep arate selections, the class decided to produce the play. "Among the Breakers" is n melo drama of stirring action and of a great deal of weight, nnd the clnss Is to be congratulated for the manner in which It was handled last night. All the parts were built for actors and nctresscs and were hard to handle, especially in the emotional lines, yet the cast carried them In a very creditable manner. Albert Warner as "David Murry." the villain, handled his part with fl' delity and faithfulness. In the last act. especially he had a very hard role to sustain, but he did It with credit. Milton Shaw was the lead In the piece, taking the part or "Hon. Bruce Hunter." the man who had been wronged by the villain and robbed of his child, but who lived down his sor row nnd rose to the plane of lofty manhood. Mr. Shaw was very good In the part, and interpreted it will. Miss Mnry Rust, the old fortune teller and wife of "David Murry handled the lending lady's lines with ease and naturalness. Her rendition was true to life, and her .stage pres ence was graceful and becoming. The supporting cast had been chos en well, and all did their parts to make the play the success It was. The comedy was funny, the pathos sobered the audience, while the strong lines were so read that they brought out the meat of the play In a clear and very interesting manner It was a success.
