r PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRD3UXE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY. DECEMBER 23, 1934. 'TEN NIGHTS' SHOW BOTH FINANCIAL F Fits hundred people turned back the calendar to the 90 ' Friday night at Oriental Oardeni, and like a big. happy family seated around old faRhloned wooden tables and "whoop. Ing It up" Just as did their parenta and grandparent, saw the famous play, "Ten Nights In a Barroom" staged by a troupe of Ashland Le 8: nn'rea. In all Its flvs ludlcroua sew. It was hard to tell whether the aetora bad tbe better time, prancing, sw.l'r and )oklng their way about the tg. or the audience, who Joined In the slr.irvng and fun-mak-lng between mouthfuls of refresh ments served by a group of Tocallrjng waiters and members of the Legion Auxiliary. The play was pronounced even bet ter tlian when It was first given by the Ashland poet In the Llthia city last Thanksgiving, and lived up to expectations for "ye olde" tom-fool-ery. General Chairman Morris Leon ard, Lee Onrlook, chairman of the aeles oommlttei, snd Commander Earl Foy snnounced that the presenta tion was a great financial success, snd were delighted with the large erowd. Nearly fifteen per cent of the women present dressed In 1880 cos tumes, which were very pretty with their ruffles, bustles and lace, while a large number of men vied with the actors themselves In old-fash-loncd make-up. Many of the men In the audience had mustaches to go with their top hats and swallow tall coats. On the stage of the Improvised old time "opery" house, the Ashland actors went through the Immortal' classlo of the kerosene circuits with gusto, and In the sadder portions proved themselves deep-oyea trage dians. The play opened outside the "Sickle snd Sheaf," and through ma nipulation of atae property not un like that which gave prop-boys gray hair In the old days, the scenes switched back and forth between the Inside and outside of the "Sickle and Sheaf," while the characters carried out the deepest pathos and moat brutal vlllalnlam to the last aoh. Perclval Hope, who took the part of Simon Black, the villain, made the moat of hie part In the play, and gained the boos of the audience in almost ss great numbers as his pre decessors of the stage. Through the self-control the audience maintained, the group of players returned to Ash land without serious mara from pea nut shells or heavier missiles, and were lauded after the play for their creditable performancca. The part of the Deacon was ad mirably played by Slug McCarthy! Swlchel, who almost "downfcll." was enacted by Archie McDutf, and Mo hltahle, a sweet maid In her teens, was characterized to yie moat deli cate blush by Llarle Tlsh. The drunk ard was played by Billy Smythe, who In one or his delerlum tremens cruelly struck his little daughter, played by Alice Jitters, with a beer bottle. Maud Love had the part of the drunkard's wife, and did her "darndest" to keep him .on the straight and narrow path. The sport who went to Jail for his misdoings was played by Horace Hemingway, the aon-of-a-bartender was enacted by Iben Ezer, and the cant was com pleted by Perry Weeks as the young blsda of the vlllsge. Besides the fan-dancers, old-fashioned crooners, the man on the fly ing trapes and other diversified entertalnera between the acts, several musical numbers were presented by a group of Medford elngers, and Se bastian Apollo offered a piano rendi tion. Morris Leonard stated that he greatly appreetatea the work of hla committeemen In making the play the euccena that It wns, extending thanks to all, especially to Cole Holmec, assistant chairman, Fred ficheffel, house committee chntrman; lee Oarlock, chairman of the ticket ealos committee, and Henry Pace, chairman of the concession com mittee. Commander Foy extended hla ap preciation to Morris Ionard and hli staff of workers, to Horace Bromley. Herb Grey and B. C. Ferguson of the publicity committee, and especially to the troupe of players from the Ashlnnd Legion post. 1935 Hudson in Medford Eakln Motor Company, Ihidnon-TfTruplane d paler!
