1924 Cedrus Yearbook

41110P.P.M. The CEDRUS 1924 The Wrong Mr. Wright presented by The Cedrus Staff HE CEDRUS STAFF, finding that there was likely to be a small defi- cit unless more money could be secured, decided to stage a play. The play selected by the staff, after some discussion, was "The Wrong Mr. Wright." This was a typical farce and of a type that has been found to be popular in Cedarville. The cast was made up of mem- lers of all the classes and was an exceptionally talented group. Mr. Turnbull played the part of the gallant young captain, with Miss Oglesbee as the heroine. They made a handsome looking couple, and were excellent in their roles. Mr. Ray played the part of the eccentric Mr. Wright and was madly smitten by the charms of the young lady detective, played by Miss Dorothy Wilson. Miss Betty Gifford and Mr. Stormont played opposite; she as the young maid who was ambitious to marry a real Lord, which was played by Mr. Stormont. Miss Gifford with her grammatical errors and Mr. Stormont with his "I am a Killer," furnished much amusement for the crowd. Miss Gifford's solo dance brought a round of applause. Miss McPherson was quite striking as "The Unappropriated Angel," and much of the success of the play was due to her clever acting. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Barlow gave splendid interpretations in their parts. Mr. Wills and Mr. Huston were live wires in their roles. The success of the play was due largely to the splendid and tireless labor of Mr. Markle who directed the performance. Mr. Markle's ability as a player is well known and now he has become known for his ability as a director. The Staff wishes to thank all who had a part and also the village for supporting the play so royally. The Importance of Being Earnest It is always the custom in Cedarville College to have one play a year in which the members of the student body have a chance to take part. This play is given before the Christmas Holidays and is always looked forward to by the students and people of Cedarville. This year the play was given the last of November. The cast was made up entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores with the exception of one. Much new talent was developed, which we have used throughout the year. It was a much heavier type of play than is usually given by the students of the college, and much credit is due both to the director, Miss Somers, and to those who took the roles. The play was enlivened by some of the young gallants of the col- lege who attired themselves in flannels, regardless of the snow and season. They had provided themselves with beautiful bouquets of paper flowers, which they gracefully threw to their lady loves as the latter came out on the stage. This was appreciated by all and a most enjoyable evening was had. —*es: Seventy-seven "C4_41i,Y , •
