BOB" Students of Dallas College Score Success In Their Presentation of Laughable Drama. A clever play, cleverly played. This is tne unanimous verdict of the people yyuu wuueaseu tne presentation or the two-act comedy, -Mr. Bob," at the oity Hall, Wednesday evening. The piay was given by members of Miss Pollock's class in Oratory and Ex pression at Dallas College, and was one or the most enjoyable amateur productions ever presented before a Dallas audience. "Mr. Bob" is not of the screaming farna vnrietv hut la a droll, delicious bit of comedy, quite within the scone of HrllfltAlir talent There is no straining for effect, the situations being natural and the dia logue witty in the extreme. Che dramatio ability of the young people taking Dart in the d1 av wan a revelation to their friends, for be it known that the greater tmrt of the cast was made up of boys and girls not yet OUt Of their 'teens Afisn AHa Osfield assumed the role of Miss Rebecca Luke, an elderly lady, and surprised and delighted the audience Dy ner clever interpretation of the character. Her work nossesserl the charm of perfect naturalness, and her maKe-up could not have been im proved. Miss Nola Coad, as Katherine Rogers, and Miss Florence Palmer, as Marion Bryant, were charminar in the rendition of their respective roles, being graceful and self-possessed at all times. Miss Frankie Hayter, as Patty, a stage-struck servinc maid. furnished unbounded amusement every time she appeared upon the stage, her every movement and ex pression being comical intheextreme. Chester Gates, as Phil Royson, a sporty young man with a decided penchant for vacht-racina'. and Walter Critchlow in the character of Robert Brown, an office clerk, played their parts in a manner leaving nothing to be desired. Orrie Arnold made the most of the character of Jenkins, a typical English butler. The play was prettily staged, and the costumes were appropriate. A short program of readings and musical selections Dre- ceded the comedy. ine nouse was wellhlled, and a neat sura or money was cleared. The people of Dallas encourage nerform- ances by home talent, for the reason that the plays put on by the young people are superior in every way to the performances given by the average raveling companies that visit the nterior towns. It is honed that Miss Pollock will give us many more such plays as the one produced by her class Wednesday evening.
