The Arago high school body pre sented a three-act oomedy entitled, “Between the Acta,” Friday evening, March 22. with a cast rompoeed Uj underclassmen, directed by Mias Eleanor Cort hell. It was witnessed I by an enthusiastic audience. i Ellis Rackleff played the nervous play wright, entangled in a web of his own wearing, in a very nervous manner as befitted the part; Clyde Lillie gave the part of the puzzled manservant, enmeshed in spite of himself, a feel ing portrayal, never coming out of character; George Pauli as the bung ling friend; Anita Milani as the abused and disowned wife, Cecil Pat rick as the dictatorial uncle, all gave good characterizations. The high light of the play was the performance of Marguerite Robison as the hysteri cal maid who dashed the presumed cup of poison to the floor. The au dience was as startled as the players with her realistic screams. Evelyn Doyle deserves credit for a fins per formance rendered on two days' no tice when she substituted as the high- toned aunt. Betty Knabe who had rehearsed the part became ill on Wednesday.
