Ta STARRING ‘RTHEL COLT WINS HEARTY RECEPTION Ethel and Eight Others Please With ‘Accent on Youth’ Ethel Barrymore Colt, on whose slight shoulders fell the burden of upholding the tradition set by stage appearances here of her mother, Ethel Barrymore, and moving picture per- formances of her three famous uncles, added distinction to the performance of “Accent on Youth,” three act com- edy by Samuel Raphaelson, Thursday evening in the city auditorium. The play was the second of three being brought by the Bismarck chap- ter of the Playgoers League of Amer- ica and gave encouragement to those of the sponsors and subscribers who were disappointed with the earlier of- fering, “Petticoat Fever”. Scheduled next is “The First Legion” for March 14. Miss Colt Shows Promise Those who expected great things of ‘Miss Colt failed to take into consider- ation her youth and comparatively short career in the theatre. The part of Miss Linda Brown, a young secre- tary who, desperate with unrequited love for Steven Gaye, wordly and temperamental playwright, takes the wooing into her own hands, gave Miss Colt few opportunities for display of her not inconsiderable talent. She ehlisted the sympathy of the audience for the puzzled young woman and she made the most of the part at all times. The part of Gaye, handled by Doug- las Rowland, was the most ingratiating in the piece and was given a very able interpretation. Play Is Pleasing Vehicle The sprightly and well-written com- edy finds Gaye and Linda pursuing love and happiness under the handi- ceps of his age, somewhat over 49, described in the lines as the “pitty- pat” limit. Gaye revises his new play after Linda declared her love for him and makes her a star. Youth calls to youth when Dickie Reynolds, the juv- enile lead, portrayed by Pendleton Harrison, reveals his hidden love for Linda and their marriage delays the ‘ultimate happy conclusion when Linda returns to Gaye. Mervin Williams’ portrayal of Frank Galloway, an actor, is a feature of the performance which ‘will long be remembered. Able Cast Is Used ‘There is much high comecy and the cast of nine projected it with finesse. Barbara Benedict, as the sophisticated ‘Genevieve Lang, gave a polished per- formance and John Maroney, as Flog- dell the butler, was superbly amusing and graced a part that makes one ‘wonder why butlers are given so many Good lines. The smoothness and fin- ish of Reynolds’ acting and the ex- celient support of Alice Cheney, Rob- ert Caldwell and. John Neill contrib- uted its full share to the drama’s ef- fectiveness. There was warm and genuine en- thusiasm displayed. in the audience. The cast members have suffered from broken schedules and other in- conveniences brought on. by the cold weather during their brief tour in the northwest, leaving their properties stranded hundreds of miles away in Towa, but they were in good spirits and expressed appreciation of the recep- tion accorded here. Their next stand will be at Valley City. Lutheran Missionary Festival Is Arranged Rev. J..
