HUN'S PLAY
AT PAGEREASING;
HIT IS SCORED
Olid of the Rroniesl Airirfce,s over
token tho .MJcilford pnblie' was given
th 'in at the produrHon of "Midsum
mer Nighl'a Dream' n't the 1'np.e yes
terday by the pupil tit HoocvcH
M'linol. The lionrtc was filled to
capacity mid the Aiutirnrc expected
the usunl hcliool performance, inter
mtinir and pntcrlainine to the tela
lives and friends at the perfuhnerrt.
Xltt n bit like It. TIip stiiRe pictures
were not onlv cleverly iiroulicd, lull
were enacted with ititttllijcvnce, jsrnee
of notion and comprehension of drn-
Inntiu iwsmbilitiea far beyond what
ony one would expect from such
youthful perfoi inert.
In the way r comedy, the dance
of the Ilrowuietf was as nmushij; n
anything the regular road nIiows hnvp
to offer, tlio.wufk of tbe two tiniest
midgcta bringing forth gnlrs of laugh
ter, and the entire net; bringing forth
snrh applause that after repeated en
cores it wan difficult to secure suf
ficient rpiiet'tn continue the perform
nncc,
The dunce of the fairies wns ns
dainty nitd graceful ns thoo Usually
jjcrforraed by much more mature ac
tors, and the comedy work of Hot
tom, Quince nnd tbeir associates
would have been a credit to "rown
up." Unfortunately the writer is not fa
miliar with the names of the partici-.
pants, except such information AH
could be ginned from tin; program,
and for that reason, ns well as for
the reason that the whole perform
ance was ho uniformly meritorious,
will not attempt to mention the par
tictilarly bright Mars, except regard
injc a few of the principals, whoso
work merits special mention.
Ilertlia Hurt wick a Puck was "it."
If she were about 20 years older I
Would say that she was a profession
al expressly engaged to play the
part. Xo less clever, but with less
opportunity to display their talent,
were Lethcw Meadows as Bottom,
Clair Pickel as Oberon, Perry Gregg
as Theseus nnd llmcc Putnam ns
Hippolytc. Ilemiia, jwrtrayed by
Irma Dyer, nnd, llencla, by Josephine
I.indley, also deserve special eom
ftiPtidfition, as does Volando Rummel
for her clever impersonation of
Kgens. And last, but not least. Paul
in Johnson as Titnnia, whose grace
ful gesture and jterfect solf-pOssea-eiun
were worthy of an cxjicricncod
actress, deserve more than a passing
word.
.Mrs. Gallagher, whose cleverness in
giving these young people such a
clear understanding of their parts,
and her success in training1 them for
such smooth concerted action, is en
titled to the highest praise, ns are
the teachers who assisted her in her
work.
It has been arranged with A. C. Al
len and llolbrook VVithingtun to take
Fomo "movies" of the play, to be
shown in the films which they arc
taking for the Jackson county ex
hibit at the Panama Pacific; exposi
tion. They have already taken u
number of pictures of the folk dances
for which the teachers bnvo so clev
Vrly trained the children, nnd which
were an attractive feature of the
show.
The entire Mrfonnanre will ho re
pented nt an early date, lo be an
nounced later.
