ADKLE DUNBAR One of the most delightful theatrical
surprises that H has ever been the good
fortune of an audience to witness was occasioned last night at the Hammond theatre in the production of Oliver
Goldsmith's deliclously satiric comedy.
She Stoops to Conquer," by the pupils
of the Hammond high school.
In describing amateur theatrical pro
ductions it Is quile customary for newspapers, with ho desire to precipitate gloom for the young thespians partici
pating, to say that the members of the production "carried out their parts worthy of professionals' and let it go at that. ' It is, however. Impossible to
dismiss the performance last night
without hearty praise and actual com
mendation.
There have been particularly good
plays given by the high school comedy company ln past years, but ln ensemble none of them have ever been equalled by ' She Stoops to Conquer." It capped the climax in the history of high school theatricals in Hammond. The audience mare's the pity, was not large, but It was visibly Impressed before the curtain had been up a few minutes that the produc.tion was out of the ordin
ary and that a master hand had in charge the training of the young people, the stage, settings, the stage business, the adherence to faithfulness of detail in .furnishing the . production, scenically. and , en costume.
The work of Miss Grace Eaton Hauk,
throughout the five-act Elixabethan comedy. It is io small task for pres
ent day boys and girls to be set back
quainted with the friseur than the preacher. The acting was well done, j Could more be said? ! They lived the charming life of the Inmates of the manor, the rollicking life of the tap room and they lived it well. Their training was remarkable, j even with the consideration of theirs adaptability and pliability. Miss Hauk's arduous efforts, for It was not a small task, were richly rewarded, and her i
I work is a credit to the versatility of i
the educative progress In the Hammond high school. Of the principals, Elliot Conroy fairly surpassed himself. He caught the grace of the period he personified. '" No more polished master of the manor could Robin Amoss have been. He typified "old friends, old times, old books and old manners" splendidly. As the lover of the Neville, Friedley Johnston was a clever Hastings and wore his laurels well. Crlll Burge was the humorous soul of the comedy and copied predecessors who had taken the role faithfully. Raymond Mette was the typical English gentleman, as Sir Charles Marlow. William Arnold doubled as the Stingo and Jeremy, but he did it so well that few on the stage knew it. On of the finest and cleverest comedy bits in the piece was Edgar Crumpacker's "Dlggory." Hammond people never saw a better piece of character acting in one so young. His droll brogue and Inimlta-. ble mannerisms, taken from the kitchen scullion into the drawing room, fetched many a roar from the audience. The young ladies acquitted themselves themselves none the less admirably. Miss Mildred Carter, the leading lady, was certainly a personable heroine in the fascinating Hardcastle role. She was a real opposite to her support, Miss Ellen Peterson, who was Miss Neville. The two young ladles got much out of their rich parts and were sweet' as English roses. Miss Marguerite Knotts did amazing work as the elderly Mrs. Hardcastle. For a 15-yeaf-old miss to slip into a character old lady part shows talent that cannot be hidden under a bushel. Miss Adele Dun
bar got much out of a small maid role. The production as & whole was extremely well done. There was not a hitch in delivery. None of the amateur awkwardness of even a professional first night production. Words were distinctly enunciated accentuation and gesture "were very good. We have' no desire to turn the heads of the' "She Stoops to Conquer cast, but encomlnous are theirs.
