PAGE FIVE TARKINGTON PLAY AT By John Snldw High school dramatics cam Into lt6 own last night wneu the graduat ing class ol the Medford Senior WgU school presented Booth Tarklngton "Clarence." Playing before a packed house In the high school auditorium. Rex Robinson's ten Juvenile star scored In their presentation of this four-act mad-house story of mingled love and mistakes. The plot revolved around "Clar ence", a big "bug" man and retired mule-klnner from the army. In the first few scenes. Clarence takes on the appearance of one quite ready for a sanatarlum but In the third act. he blossomed out Into a perfect fig ure of manhood and proceeded to steal the hearts of everyone from the maid to the governess of the Wheel er household. Dolph Janes co-starred with Miss Mildred Drury. as Violet, the govern ess who also had her share of suitors. Janes, in his excellent makeup, show ed decided skill In his handling ol the many lines assigned him. Miss Drurv, although It was plain to see that her part did not giver her ample opportunity to express her fine acting ability, added zest to the play that kept it from dragging. Betty Thorndtke as Cora, the love, sick daughter, very excellently car ried her part In her pursuit of Clar ence. Verne Campbell, better known as Mr. Wheeler the tired business man. "wowed" the audience In his energetic handling of a cigar used In several acts. Lucien Smith, the amorous young ster Bobby, of some seventeen years created a sensation with hl stam mering protestations of love to Violet the governess. Betty Dynan and DOU' aid Orey. as the maid and man-serv' ant gave splendid performances, and Betty Vllm as Mrs. Martyn, office secretary of Mr. Wheeler, was highly lauded in the role which she por trayed. Bob Young turned In a fine performance as Mr. Stem, a Jilted lover of the first class. Patricia Youiw, as Mrs. Wheeler, raved over the dwindling love of her husband in a manner indicative of the Jealous wife. A bit of unanticipated humor was Injected Into the play at the end of the second act. while Clarence waa in the midst of a saxophone solo. It seems that the curtain failed to clo at the desired time and Mr. Janes, (Clarence) was left "holding the gunny." but as the old saying goes, "the show must go on" so on It went. It was necessary to turn out the stae llphts while young stars madly dash ed to change their costumes for the third scene. The draw rope was re paired and the play proceeded with out a ruffle throughout the remain der of the presentation. , Townspeople witnessing the pro duction stated that it waa excellently directed and far abovq the standard of a high school showing.
