Large Crowd Is Highly En
tertained , By Admirable
Presentation ' of Milne's
Comedy, "The Dover
Road" First Perform
ance '; of Studio Players
Universally Acclaimed.
It you , wish Jo bob one of tlie
bpst of the "fitaaxt" nrlllsh nnme
dies, and enjoy an ovening of gen
ulne entertainment, don't lull to
Bee -A. -A'. Mllnes' ."Too Dover
Jtoad," to be prenonted by . the
Studio PlayerH'at the IkIh theatre,
for the second and Ihst time to
night. : , ,
, The Initial performance lnnt
evening wan really too good to dls
mtai In the usual "amateur re
view'1 fanhlon by pinning a com
plimentary bouquet on each of the
performers and letting It go at
that. , ,' ,
For here in a play extremely dlf
floult to, put over. It has no action,
no made to order "HlUintlons, ut
terly without the nmotour'H delight
"Blap-Btlek buileBriuc." The sub
stance of the comedy Is entirely In
the dialogue, the "light touch" anil
UK success depends completely
upon Intelligent characterization,
restraint, and delicacy of treat
ment,. '; '', ', 1
. To claim there were no flaws In
last night's production, would lie
to Istate an obvious absurdity,
There are always flaws in any
amateur production (at "times
many ''of them contribute to the
evening's entertainment). f
... But to state that most of tlje
flaws wore mechanical and acces
sory would be entirely (rue; and to
also state, that this group of young
ana'eurs. under the able direction
of 'Tom 'Swum; got out the "comic
heiu't" 'of this subtlo dramatic cor
fectlon, would aim be true,
' i'. ;;C' ' ,, ' '
", And this to our mind was a gen
ulne achievement. Hntlrely with
out ' local "apple-sauce1 "Tho
Dover Road" SB presented lust
night was not only thoroly amus
ing, but the, humor and skill of
e-itraotlng sapie, Increased steadily
as the play went on. Tonight It is
certain the play will be even bet
ter, and (n a few months, ir tins
group should be kept together,
under Mr. Bwem's. direction, Med
ford will havo a little theatre com
pany that will compare favorably
lth that of any "little clly" on
Ihe Paclflo const,
. .' "
We hope this will be done. But
or these "Studio Players" an op
portunity to see a, Milne pluy In
Medford, would never have been
presented. There are other excel
lent niodorn plays : of; the same
character which, with' a moro or
less permanent company, could bo
given from time to time, plays of
not only dramatlq :but literary
morlt. And plays Which for box
office reasons (professional road
companies would nover tackle.
1 This first performance was a
very auspicious beginning. Those
behind It, most , certainly must
parry om The size and enthusiasm
of last night's audience clearly
demonstrates necessary public ap
preciation and support are hero.
. t ;.. .
. As stated above we are. for
once not going to follow the con
ventional "home-town" newspaper
practice, and with the program be
fore us carefully pin soma sort of
verbal bouquet on each one, from
the star to the house Janltnr, not
forgetting the "curtain ralaer."
That sort of thing -Is futile and
meaningless. What's the use? No,
we are going to be . Hootch ' and
present one large bouquet, a bou
quel honestly earned and richly
deserved to the entire cost, will!

behave. I'erhupa he Is right. But
we have an Idea "Tamaa" Swem
will have the curtain behaving to
night. For no one knows better
than he that a "quick" and well
behaved curtain is more Important
In 'the Dover Road, than In any
other of the Mllno comedies.
