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.
