decidedly complicated. But during a very brief acquaintance of a few hours they discov- ered that fate had intended them for each other, and all ended happily. Jane West, in the leading role, interpreted a difficult part to the complete satisfac- tion and admiration of the audience. Playing opposite Jane was Joe Free as Col. Smith, and with Joe's military bearing and manly dignity, and Jane's striking personality, they made a very attractive couple indeed. Marjory Gordon, Eleanor Bull, and Lois Cultice as the utterly selfish and sophisticat- ed sisters of Celia, played their parts in a very capable manner. Aunt Ida, Celia's faithful ally and confidante, was played by Nina Stevenson. This was a difficult part and Nina handled it very successfully. You wouldn't think that one with the intelligence with which Clyde Hutchison seems to be endowed could play so well the part of and empty headed young English swell. Rob- ert Tarver, Clyde got a laugh with every line. Wm. Faraday, the father, always depending upon Celia to anticipate his every want was played by Homer Murry. Others in the cast were Walter Kilpatrick as the testy re- tired admiral, Art Donaldson and Charles Bost as Raleigh nd Steele, old friends of the family, who suddenly decided that Celia was not so "bad looking"; and Preston Garlough, as the efficient butler, Martin. "Green Stockings" was directed by Glenna Basore. The Wilberforce Male Quartette, a song and dance act by Rachel Douthett and Pat Crawford and Duffy's Orchestra, furnished entertainment between acts. Junior Play The Junior Class under the direction of Glenna Basore presented "Pineville Meets the Prince," a three act comedy by Watkins E. Wright, in the Cedarville Opera House on March 7. Due to the bank holiday the audience wassmall but nevertheless very apprecia- tive. The story of the play is that of the young prince of Dalvaria who was brought by his mother to her old home town in Pineville, Virginia where she expected to find for him a rich wife among the daughters of her formerfriends.Prince D'Auby'sfather had died leav- ing the estate in Dalvaria in a run-down condition,so Claire's scheme was to find a wife for Peter who would have enough money to repair the Dalvarian castles. On arriving in Pineville and meeting lovely girls and men of his own age who worked and talked of fruit growing, real estate and newspapers, Peter felt ashamed of having come in search of a rich wife. Peter, therefore, determined to prove himself more a member of "Rotary"than of "Royalty." How he does this, how his mother tries to marry him off, how he wins the girl of his choice, and how his mother turns to the sweetheart of her girlhood, all combine to make a play in which comedy,romance,andrama are blended. Our popular cheer leader, Edward Tedrick, proved himself to be very capable of handling the leading role, as the prince. Doris Hartman is at home on the stage in any part,and was especially so in that of Claire D'Auby, the scheming mother. Robert Ross was very affable as the family lawyer and old sweetheart of Claire. Lois Cultice was clever in the part of Anne Jones,the efficient stenographer, who was able to make herself very unattractive or attractive e qually as well as the occasion demanded. Margaret Berk as Mrs. Jeffries, and Ruth West as Mrs.Prentice, very skillfully play- ed the parts of the mothers who were very desirous of having the prince elope with their respective daughters, Lucy and Peggy, played by Jane West and Wilda Auld. Nina Stev- enson brought many a laugh through her interpretation of Cassie, the colored maid. Jef- Page Fifty-one
