The humor and pathos of a whole
some college play in the title of the
"Millionaire Freshman" played havoc
with the succeptibilitics and emotions
of a large opera house audience last
night. During stages the play was
an indescribably breezy comedy, ap
pealing with a spontaneous natural
ness, as presented by the seniors of
the Albany High school as the 1913
class play.
Jt was a simple story of a young
man whose wealthy father wished him
to go through school as an ordinary
collegian. The secret of his wealth
leaks out. However, upon entering
school the young man is subjected
to hazing by the upper classmen. He
is befriended by the charming daugh
ter ami co-ed of the college professor
and thereby hangs the tale.
The cast was composed of diminu
tive stars and starlets and the entire
three acts was strong in appeal and
refined in humor. In his portraiture
ot the hesnnuui, Virgil rarker
celled to a remarkable extent. Seth
I'rench, Hugh Hammerly, John Hus
ton and Herman Abraham played tin
Darts of, the sophomores riplendidly
In his unmerciful hazinir of the fresh
man by ordering K.n to do things,
rrencli earned Ur: part out to such a
creditable extent that he reminded
one of a modern Simon Lo;;ree. How
ard Speer, as the p" fessor, was ex
cellent. We have heard of negro actors with
Nor lli Da', ota accents, and Porter
Martin, as the negro servant, labored
industriously with his part and it is
doubtful if anyone else could have
carried it as well. Miss Marian Stan
ford as Mary I.oeke was exception
ally good and Miss Julia Crowell as
the president's daughter, and Miss
Madeline Uawlings as Miss Porter,
ably sustained their parts. Miss Mar
guerite l'ennebaker was nearly the
life and center of the production in
her gem of characterization of Violet,
whose mother keeps boarders. Miss
I'eiinebaker displayed marked talent.
'Keeping a Secret," the curtain
raiser to the senior play, was heart
ily received by the audience and much
credit is due those who participated in
the cast who were as follows:
llabcl Sweetly, the engaged girl,
I la.el Thompson ; Maude Harrison,
her bnsom friend, Vesta I.amb; Mary
Morton, who is giving the tea, Ro
berta Veal; Lelia, the waitress, Dena
I'Voiitm; girls who are sure they can
! : e t p a secret: Clara 1 . e w is, Stella
tJardincr. Hazel Brown, Nellie Ather
ton, Mary Carr. Jessie Cooper, Mabel
Itlotint, Verlie P.ilveu, Neva lloth'ch,
Ruby Wiukley, Hazel Earl, Clara Lu
ther.
Without exception, those who par
ticipated in both plays showed won-
leriui natural talent and had they re
ceived the dramatic tnunmir of an ex
pert would have made even a more
creditable showing.

repealed again next Tuesday even
Wanted in Kentucky on a fed-
eral charge of moonshining, T.
M. McDonald, was arrested yes-
terday at Halsey by a United
States marshal from Portland ?

word brought here this after-
noon bv Denutv Sheriff D. Tav-
lor, of that place.
2) McDonald, it is understood, lo- W
cited at Halscv about 3 months
ago where he purchased a small

ed to come from Indiana, his na-
tivc state. He has a wife and
child who are residing in Hal-
vf sey. Mrs. McDonald has taken vs;
v charere of her husband s confec-

According to Deputy bhenti W
Tavlor. the United States Mar-

investigation at Halsey tor sev- J
eral days but his identity was not
? learned '.intil yesterday when the
arrc-t was made. He was no-
ticed aroimd Halsey early Thurs-
) day morning but in the after-
noon he left Halsey on a north-
) bound afternoon train. It is sup-

ed yesterday and made the ar-
rest. No other details concern-
ing the charge against McDonald

on Stage.
