Dramatic have become an essential in the adult education program of fered by the Oregon State college, and the three one-act plays presented were a fitting climax to the anniver sary celebration. "The Tooter," given by six Talent men. proved to be a court room scene In which Frank Reed se Hyoais Bip wlgle, waa being tried for offenses with his saxophone. Even though the annoyances of a player who con stantly tooted only a couple qf notes the year around were aennneiy nroved. Judge Raphammer, played b; Tom Bell, acquitted the defendant on the grounds of originality of his instrument. However, the ardent saxaphone player unwittingly admit ted having given the judges aaugn ter music lessons in the past, at which the Judge Immediately an nounced conviction and a stiff sen tence. Stanley Robbios and Harry Weagant represented the attorneys with Will Thatcher as the plaintiff, and Kenton Robbing as the witness and village simpleton. The play was directed by Mra. Florence Hartley. Central Point's comedy, 'Taking Father's Place," had the blunders of a conceited college graduate attempt ing to run his father's office as Its central subject. The role of Chas. Edwards, Jr., the new manager, was played by Donald Smith. His down fall came when his obedient stenog rapher (Dorothea Hedgepath) made a literal transcription of his letter dictated to an important client in which he refused to fulfill a valuable order. The irate client (Ralph Van Zyl) appeared on the Bcene, followed by Mr. Edward'a parent (Delmar Smith and Gertrude Hammond) to demand an explanation of the strange pro cedure In business. Edwin Gebhard gave a natural portrayal of the office errand boy, an did Harold Smith as an employe. Miss Freda Young por trayed the Incidental role of a book agent In a capable manner. Mrs. Gene Blackford directed the comedy.. The humorous yot almost pathetic doings of a family of 'tedi age young- ters formed the plot of "Orvllte'a Big Date", presented by Bellvlew grange and directed by Mrs. Edwin Dunn. Sixteen year old Orvllle (Jack Wil liams), not yet awakened to the fine arts of good grooming, became the despair of hi eaters and the hired girl when they overheard his tele phone conversation and believed him to have made hi first date with an Important girl In the town. Mama Byrd and Eunice KlncaJd played the role of the sisters, with Rosemary Bell aa the hired girl. A. pleasing variation In the. eve ning's entertainment wss supplied In selections by the Medford Junior symphony orchestra, directed by John Knight. Vocal solos by MUs Eleanore Poffenbarger and dance numbers by Misses Carole Haines and Gloria Wemmer were much appreciated. Henry Niedermeyer, president of the recreation club, which sponsored the plays presided during the evening. John Enders Agent Here For Western Life Insurance Co.
