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. The scene
ry used in the two sets was locally
produced and showed that a great
deal of time, skill, and effort had
been spent In its construction.
The technical staff staff consisted
of the following: Iceland A. Mentzer.
stage director; Warren Llggitt. prop
erty manager; Doris Baler, make-up:
ticket sales Cyril Sander: and Rex
Robinson, assisted by Robert Murphy,
