Aune Carpenter Shop, 614 Broadway. home of Mrs. Lester Diehl, $20 Avenue ; wore a cape, the property of Dr. Fan- nie Dunn Quain, whiolf was made in London 50 years ago. Prossie’s cos- tume was a long full gored skirt of deep blue, topped by a shirtwaist of harmonizing plaid. Both had their hair done in the style of the period, each in keeping with her particular station in life. Male Leads Were Good Cast in the male leads’ were Lieut. Will A. Sessions, Jr., and Fred Mon- jley. Sessions as Rev. James M. Morell, was excellent. With fine handling he made the suffering of the minister real when he thought his wife no {longer loved him. It required sure {handling to show the change from complete happiness and trust to un- certainty and distrust in a man who had always been so sure of himself. {Sessions imparted a fine feeling to the part, making of Morell a human being rather than just another min- ister's role. As Eugene Marchbanks, Fred Mon- ley took the part of a love-sick poet, whose impractical poetic flights of Speech furnished much of the humor of the production. Mr. Monley adapted both voice and action to the charac- ter, walking with the rambling air of the ineffectual dreamer and speak- ing in a high, slightly effeminate voice, As a youth of 18, he gave a fine portrayal of a poet suffering in the throes of puppy love, at one moment in the transports of delight, in the next sinking to the depths. With remarkable insight into the character of Marchbanks, Monley brought out the love the poet had for Candida and at the same time showed easily the fact that so far as the prac- tical side of the relationship was con- cerned, he simply couldn’t fathom it. Cayou Good Blusterer Arthur Cayou and George Ander- son, Jr., both made their roles stand out as integral parts of the play. Arthur Cayou as Mr. Burgess, Can- dida’s father, a material-minded and, according to his son-in-law, scoun- drelly manufacturer, gave menace.

Quick in all her actions,’ Miss Ramstad flounced about the) stage, “speaking her mind” with ra- pidity and to the point. Rather’ soured on life, Prossie, nevertheless, possessed a certain pertness that was well portrayed by Miss Ramstad's ex- cellent interpretation. She also man- aged to make the audience see how badly the little secretary wanted to discuss love with Eugene, even while she feared the subject. | Both Miss MacRae and Miss Ram- | stad were costumed beautifully in the | style of the nineties. Candida wore | two costumes, one of two shades of green and the other in two rose tones, both with tightly-fitted mutton leg sleeves and long, many-gored skirts. | LOCAL CAST SCORES FOR HINTERLANDS IN ‘CANDIDA’ BY G.B. Marcelle LaRose MacRae and Supporting Cast Prove Value of ‘Little Theater’ By EMILY P, MARSHALL Why amateur theatricals thrive in the so-called hinterlands was demon- Strated to a near-capacity audience by the Community Players at the Bismarck City Auditorium Friday fs : The play was George Betnard Shaw's Candida, with Marcella La Rose MacRae in the title role, sup- Ported by six local devotees of the sock and buskin, Notations on the programs de- scribed it as a “pleasant play” but under the professional treatment of the cast it became art, a thing alive. Shortly after the opening curtain the audience forgot it was witnessing a non-professional production. It for- got that one has to make allowances since the players are, after all, only amateurs, It lost itself in the play as the action unfolded. That, in the last analysis, is what the theater is for. ~ Unless the spectator can feel that he has visited a far land or a different time after the production is com- Pleted, the theater leaves something to be desired, Candida generated those reactions. There could be no higher praise. Takes What You Give It The title role of this play is like that of Hamlet in that it will take about what the actor puts into it and varies with the person to whom it is assigned. It is improbable that many in the audience had ever seen this opus before and Marcelle La Rose LONG, HIGH EASVY TERMS LARSEN’S “The Home Appliance Shop” work. Not a gesture or movement was mistimed or useless. The smoothe ness and purposefulness of the action revealed the time and effort spent by the director as well as the cast. One of the most outstanding features was the characters’ expressions as they responded as individual personalities |to whatever actor had the floor, An interesting study of expressions could be noted as Marchbanks gave his ab- surd dream a picture of what Can- dida’s life should be. Candida wi indulgent; Marchbanks, amuse |Prossie, contemptuous, and Mr. Bur- gess openly suspected the poet of be- ing more than a bit “touched in the head.” Direction Was Outstanding Miss Ramstad’s direction of “Can- dida,” is one of the outstanding piece: of work of that sort in Community Player history. An appraisal of the production would be incomplete without mention of the make-up which was unt ly, good. Mrs. MacRae did her own make-up, The remainder of the cast was made up by a committee includ- ing Thelma Liessman, Kay Kellam, Lila Clark and Harrison Monk. Assisting Miss Ramstad with direct- ing way Ela Nor Weber. Prompters were Marie Garske and Vera Heaton. Chester Perry served as house mana- ger and Ben Cave as stage manager Entri’ acte music was furnished by Mrs. Arthur Bauer, Guy Larson and Ralph Truman. The stage settings were designed by Ben Cave.
