The play itself, with its war setting _ and its southern at- inosphere, was attiactive and each of the ten young lady characters was well chosen. First there was Topsy (Miss Dhel Purdy) a "necessity" to much more than Mrs. Dare's household, for she was the life of the play, acting the part with the rollicking abandon of the irresponsible' negro child. ~~ Tt would be indeed be hard to improve on Topsy. Mrs. Dare ( Mrs Frank Coone ) showed unusual command and ap- preciation of the emotions which must come to.one in the trying situation in which she was placed, and she naturally fitted*into the place assigned to her as "Mistress of Graylawn"-- times the grand lady and at times on sympethetic and loving woman. Margaret Leighton (Miss M Harris) cariied her calm strong treatment of life's "problems" out well, being the natural confidante of Virginia Leigh- ton (Miss Ruth Marlow) and Ruth lee (Mrs H W Emmerson) whose love affairs form the piot of the play. All these ladies interpreted their parts with proper appreciation. Nora (Miss Eugenie DeFoe) proved equal to all occasions with her. fine contempt of "naygers" (except when they were uscful) and her thorough appreciation of the "rights" of a cook That little dance of ecstacy toward the end of the play quite took the audience by storm, Topsy joining 1n "coal-box" so to speak. . Martha Lane (Miss Mayrienae Short, elicited many expressions of praise from the audience by her clever eharacterizafion of the 'Village gossip' Virgivia's friends with abnormal bumps of curiosity (Miss Olive Cowan and Miss Mildred Hortop) carried out that patticular mission in life to per- fection apd were placed in awkward situations, but, as should be 1n good story hooks, it all came out right in the end. Perhaps the; most difficult" part in the play was that, of Granny, Royal (Miss Florence; Walker) and the uni~ versal opinion is that the part as to make-up, acting and expression could not have been better taken. = Miss Walker is to be congratulated.
