The four-ncl comedy "Clarence,' by ltitoth Tarkington, which was presented by the senior class of the Medford high school nt the l'ngo theater last evening was. In tho opln- lun of many, one of the best amateur I performances ever staged In Med ford. I Although the house was nut crowded, an appreciative und en I thusiastic audlenco gretted the stu i dents when the curtain rose, on the ', scene of tho anteroom of the office oi .vi r. heeler, a middle-aged finan cier played by Francis l'rescott. Marjorie Skeeters as Mrs. Martyn, secretary In the office of Wheeler, displayed the calm, unaffected and natural air ns the large percentage of the cast and carried her short part creditably. Mrs. Wheeler was played very well by Mae Mordoff. The port Included acting the stepmother to Dubby and Cora, Mr. Wheeler's children. The pott of Hobby was taken by Hansom Webster. Hobby had Just been expel'.ed from his third bo" private schoua and had returned home. Thin part afforded some ex cellent opportunities, which wre not lost by Webster. Helen Holt took the part of tho flighty little sister, Cora, and tho realistic effect of brotherly and sis terly feeling between Cora und Hobby added to the performance. Vlob-t rinney, Cora's governess, was portrayed by Marlon Hill. Miss Plnncy wits beset from all sides by suitors and was the object of Mrs. Wheeler's Jealousy. The part was difficult and was carried in a Very commendable manner. 'Clarence," the returned soldier, and young but prominent enlytuolo gtst, was well expressed In the person Of Vernon Owens. (He gave, in tho opinion of several, a slightly exagger ated portrayal of the III and dejevlcd returned soldier in the earlier part Of the performance, but his differ ence In appearance In civilian clothes and his. dignity so appropriate for the part of the scientific man, was all excellent contrust. Iola Rubinstein, as Delia, -the housemaid, with a difficult part in cluding a considerable amount of monologue handled her part exceed ingly well. 4 Jack Crump as Dinwiddle the but ler, made on excellent nppearanoe. The part carried more with it than the ordinary part of a butter and was well done. Ulen Ilillls. as the dapper, smooth, Mr. Hubert Stem, a grass widower, and suitor for the hand of Miss rin ney, was remarkably well fitted for the part. He looked the part and spoke as he looked. The opinion of tho audience seemed to be that the play was one of the best directed and posseted One of the Im-sI balanced r.iMti ever seen in a local amateur production. Miss Hertha V. llaumgartnor, in structor in English In the local high school, is responsible for the work of the Fast. During the intermission between the third and fourth acts, she took the opportunity to thank all the people who had anything what ever to do with the success of the play. The stage setting, consisting of two different scenes, was arranged "by Tom 8em, and a great part of the good effect of the entire performance depended upon his work. A good deal of hard work was done by everyone connected with the production and it was rewardi-d when tho performance was finally finished without a serious error.
