Many favorable comments have
been passed on the play "Come Out
of the Kitchen" which was presented
last evening at the school auditorium
by members of the senior class under
the efficient direction of Mrs. Jno. C.
Riesto. The cart for this play was
exeeptlonally good and the house en-
joyed the play from beginning to end.
It has been said by many that this
was the best play ever produaced by
a senior class which is indeed a com-
pliment.
Each of the characte»s had promi-
nent roles and it is difficult to give
praise to each of them as it is due.
They were all splendid in their parts.
Miss Alixe McAlpine as the lead well
portrayed the Irish cook, her accent
being very good. She was quick on
the stage and her actions bespoke her
part well. Marlon Brown Thomas play-
cl opposite Miss McAlpine and he too
was well suited to the part of a hand-
some leading man. He had a role
that called for good acting and he
gave it. h
Miss Lillian Claire Buffington .
couldn’t have been better, her action-
of the high tempered, dignified sisteg
being o-kay. Without a doubt she
was good' and being a Buffington was
enough lo assure the audience that
she could act. Johnnie Miller and
Weyman Smith as the brothers who
had to play the part of butler and
usual by carried their parts well.
Johnnie -aid he didn't know how to
“buttle" but the audience was convin
ced he couldn't be beat in the part.
Weyman was the only one who could
play the part of Erindlebury, the
usual boy. however he proved him
self the unusual actor. He kept the
audience amused from his first ap
pea tame on the stage. Not many peo-
pie could break dishes so cleverly or
put the pep and animation in the part
as he did.
Miss Bernadine Brooks truly played
the most difficult role in the play and
did it exceptionally well. Her role was
truly in minor part but she made it
a major role in that her acting was
so very good. Her daughter. played
by Rosselle Lindley, was also good
and Miss Lindley appeared very much
at ease on the stage.
Miss Frances Inez Redford played
Mie part of the black mammy and she
too gave a good portrayal of the part.
Her make-up was splendid. Randolph
Weeks was the part played by Dan
Swanson and Dan did take a slap from
a young lady in a very excellent way.
