should also bo Included in tho same
of praise. In tho Friday evening performance, Miss Marshall was
especially convincing. Her Inst whimsical lino, "by George, I haven't been
kissed by a woman In years," is remembered npprcclatively.
The two Hunter daughters wero perhaps ns well received as any persons
in tho cast. Jessica Hunter, portrayed
by Carlisle Chenault, wns lovely, ap
pealing, nnd sweet. Clara Hunter, tho
spoiled, fllppnnt younger bird, won for
tho play many laughs as Louise
in this role used her personal
charm nnd Informal delightful Ingenuousness.
Doctor Stcinart nnd Godesby were
capably dono by Fred Augsburg and
Auryno Bell. Margaret Smith as Miss
Sillerton, showed a confidence and
ease that had been won by much
experience including her appearance in "Under Cover."
The servnnts who appeared in tho
Trotter and Hunter grand establishments were done by J. R. Finn, Ter-rlCom, John Land, Frank Wedet
kemper and J. R. Williams. Their air
of dignified gravity more than made
up for such minor difficulties with the
dining table, as occurred in the Thursday evening performance.
Harrison
Brailsford and Myrtle Clar who were
dinner guests, behaved as decorously
as such dinner guests are expected to
behave.
Tompson and Marie were piquant,
petite and alluringly feminine. The
"Dodo's bird's" comment was echoed
by the male half of the audience at
least, when Norma Rachel and Mary
Lyons appeared.
Master Richard, as taken by Nancy
Smock, was a dear little "boy" fully
worthy of "his" mother's lavish praise.
The University may congratulate itself on the successful performances of
each evening. The Strollers may feel
that their month's rehearsing and
labor were repaid. There is general
satisfaction with the 1920 production.

PLAY

"The Climbers" Is Brilliant
Success at Both

Performances

"There's not one soul in all this
world that cares for me and It's my
own fault."
That's when "Frizzy"
made tho nudionco cry in tho Stroller
annual play April 8 and 9 nt tho Opera
House. And in the big scene in the
second net when Dick Sterling struck
the keynote of tho play, "we are nil
climbers of some sort in this world.
I was a climber after wealth and everything it brings." Then Mary Elizabeth's rich voice came "throbbing
through the darkness" ns the manuscript demnnded nnd tho audience
thrilled; "and I for happiness and all
it brings."
Milton Revill made such an appealing lover that he filled Eugene
O'Brien's place in many a
heart. Altogether, "The Climbers" add
ed another success on an occasion
long to be remembered by University
folk to that proud dozen of productions of old Strollerdom.
Honorable mention should be given
to Herndon Evans, who as stage manager hnd the strain and worry and
work and none of the applause that
makes an actor's life profitable. Robert Raible, as business manager,- was
thoroughly successful. The two performances were financial as well as
artistic successes. The Strollers extend their thanks to Enoch Grehan
for valued suggestions and assistance.
Emery Frazier, or "Frizzy," as he
as Dick Steris known campus-wide- ,
ling, made his final appearance as a
Stroller. His artistic, forceful interpretation of that winning, unscrupulous gambler and waster, will be remembered long in Stroller tradition.
Mr. Frazler's unrivaled record, the
lead in five Stroller plays, his talent
and success in this last performance,
give promise of a larger activity,
should he decide to enter 'this profession.
Mary Elizabeth Downing, as Blanche
Sterling, was well posted, gracious,
and lovely. In her difficult role Miss
Downing .showed maturity and a
depth rarely found and not suspected
in a freshman.
Milton Revill, besides "cutting out"
Eugene O'Brien, has won the praise
of experienced critics for his strong
acting and control In his part of Ned

Warden,
Sterling's wife. (He is also an old
Stroller who had reputation to sustain and sustained it both evenings.
Another star appeared on the Stroller horizon, In Mrs. Hunter, who was
characteribed so admirably by Clarl-be- l
Kay. As Mrs. Hunter, worldly
widow, who retained becoming mourning, only throughout the conventional
year, Miss Kay won applause In every
sense for her clever acting.
Martha Buckman was her charming
gracious self in tho role of Aunt Ruth.
As an old Stroller her talent has a
background of success and her work
In "The Climbers" won her additional honor.
Preston Cherry was tho typical lawyer, Mr. Mason assured, resourceful
counsellor in every sense of the word.
He is also an experienced Stroller
whose talent is admired.
