Sweet Lavender," Given at

Earlham, a Huge Success Hawk Is a Star.

Nearly m thousand persons, many of whom wcro residents of Richmond attended the splendid production of "Sweet Lavender" by the day pupils of EarlhHin college, last night. The play was given In Karlhain hall. The rowd was the largest to attend a function at the college, thla year. From the first curtain the play was a sue ce8, and it hi enjoyed by the appreciative audience in a way that few amateur theatricala are received. The fclory hinges about Dick I'henyl a !onilon barrialer, and the love affairs of his room mate In the Inner Temple. Out of their tiituaiion Sir Arthur 1'lnero made one of the most faHclnating comedies the stage has yet seen, and Its presentation last, night by the college students was a most, creditable contribution to amateur theatricals as a whole. (Jeorge J. Hawk of Muncie, Ind., as Hick I'henyl was by far the star of the evening. Too much praise can

not bo given to him for bis admirable interpretation of this role. Aside from a genuine originality in the conception of the part. Mr. Hawk showed a natural ability for difficult acting In critical situations. ' The work of the cast to support Mr. Hawk was admirable. Dalton II. LewIs of Van Wert, O., as Clement Hale studying for the bar with Dick Phenyl was commendable. Mr. Lewis was easily master of his lines, and won the audience from the first. Clifford riummer, Blair Converse and C. K. Trueblood also deserve great credit. Miss Dorothy Dill as "Sweet Lavender" mado the success expected of her. Miss Agnes Kelly, Miss Aline Johnson and Miss Aisle French Interpreted leading parts, and all were roundly applauded for their success.
