LITTLE THEATER IN 3 SUCCESSES ‘Underneath / ‘Stingy* and ‘ Rococo ’ Close Season Program B.t GRACE HITCHISGC. Tbe Little theater gave tta closing performance of the season last evening, presenting three short plays, “Underneath,” a melodrama by Rebecca Bennett: “Stingy," a pantomime by Maxwell Parry, and “Rococo,” a farce by Granville Barger. The most Interest centered in “Stingy'' from the fact of its having been written by Mr. Parry, who was one of the founders of the Little theater in Indianapolis. and many in the audience were his i personal friends before be gave bis life' near Ovate* n Thierry. “Stingy” is a pantomime, with incidental music, while “Underneath” is a distressingly realistic piece of work that presents the problem of the underworld, wherein the hero has within himself the desire for the best things of life and is never able to get above bta early start In crime. He finally kills bis old enemy. The Rococo vase caused all the trouble In the last play, which was a takeoff on family quarrels, particularly as applied to , family heirlooms. The announcement that George Somnes will direct the Little theater again Dext > year was good news to the patrons and friends of the organization.

Shortridge Seniors 9 Play Big Success "Nothing But the Truth.” produced by Shortridge High school seniors at the Murat theater last night, was voted a Mg success by the big crowd that filled the house. “Nothing But the Truth" Is a comedy in three acts, and is fortunately well adapted to youthful players. Tbe leading character in tbe play. Bob Bennett, is a young man Just out of college. and a partner in a brokerage firm. Karlynn Barrett bad this part, and played it so well that in tbe latter part of the play bis appearance on the stage was the signal for a hurst of laughter. Gwen Ralston was well played by Helen Wjrd. who was very convincing as tb* fiancee of Bob. Ed H. Wlest had the most difficult part in tbe whole cast, that of E. M. Ralston. a middle-aged broker, who stopped at nothing In bis schemes for money. The plot of “Nothing But the Truth'* revolves around tbe wager made by Boh Bennett that he will tell nothing but tbe truth for twenty-four hours. Compll-atlons arise that provide many mirthful sitvattocs for Bob and Ralston. Dick James was good as VanDusen. and
