MILTON BYRON TO HAVE CHIEF COMEDY ROLE Berkell Will Present Players in Fast Moving Show. Milton Byron will have an admirable part in the role of Sam Crane, a visionary young man who disdains the slow but sure road to success in “The Easy Mark,” a Broadway comedy hit written by Jack Larrie, which will be presented at English’s next week by the Berkeli Players. It aeais- with small town life in the middle west, and with every day folks, their fortunes and misfortunes, joys and sorrows. Sam Crane, the chief figure, harbors the desire to make money quick and in good sized bunches so that his widowed mother and young sister may be sure of independence, and so that be can ask Mary Jordan, the pretty school teacher, to be his wife. His inclination leads him to fall for so many get-rich-quick schemes that he is dubbed an “easy mark,” a popular estimate of him that is clinched when a pair of swindlers get him to invest the family fortune, a few thousand dollars life insurance money that his father had left, in "oil land.” Os course, the whole town gives Sam the old chuckle, but nevertheless he persuades Joe Page, an expert oil driller to sink a well. To everybody’s astonishment the well gushes. Sam becomes a prospective millionaire over night, and acclaimed a “wise guy.” A celebration is arranged and is in full blast when Sam discovers that the gusher is spouting not oil, but salt water. He and .Joe Page are the only ones aware of it. The sharpers who had unloaded the land on Sam return and offer to buy it back. Things happen quickly and unexpectedly. Cast includes Edythe Elliott, Larry Sullivan, Idabelle Arnold. Robert -Fay, Tommy Evans, Mary Hill, A1 C. Wilson, Robert St. Clair and the rest of the company.
