SPEAK UP AND DON'T BEAT AROUND THE BUSH.a- © 1934, Kiog Festuces Syndicate, lac,, Great Britn rights reserved, HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS GIVE FINE COMEDY Lively Entertainment Pre- sented at Coliseum Last Night By ARNOLD SWANSON A large audience was pleased with and amused at “Dulcy,” a ‘gay three-act comedy by Marc Con- nelly and George S. Kaufman, which was presented by the Ju- neau High School at the Coliseum Theatre last night. ‘When the curtain rose at 8:15, a series of entertaining and humor- | ous events, were presented to the appreciative audience. The story deals principally with the eager determination of Dulcinea Smith to be helpful to her husband, Gor- don Smith. To further his inter- ests she plans a week-end party, having as her guests a very ill-as- sorted group such as only Duley could summon about her. The three acts reveal them just before and after dinner on the evening of their arrival and the following morning. Their brief association becomes an unbroken series of hi- larious tragedies. Blunder-Success It is Duley’s final blunder which unexpectedly crowns all her mis- taken efforts with success. Mean- while, she has all but ruined her husband’s plans to put through an important business deal. Among her guests are the rapturous sce- nario writer who conspires to elope with the daughter of the capital- ist who loathes motion pictures; the phusible rich young man from Newport, whom Dulcy invites be- cause he may be useful in assist- ing the aspirations of the capital~ ist's wife to become a writer for the films; the ex-convict whom she has employed as butler in her work of social uplift. Everything goes wrong, including the bridge game, the golf and the billiards. But the most exquisite torture she inflicts upon her guests is the occasion when she invites the scenario writ- er to recite one of his heectic plots to interpretative music played at the piano by the lunatic. It is with this experience of Dulcy’s bored guests that the play reaches its highest level, and everything turns out all right. Vivacious Miss Harland The difficult role of Dulcy was well enacted by the charming and vivacious Patricia Harland.

Henry, the mysterious butler, was acted by Lewis Beaudin, who gave the ap- pearance and the effect of a real honest-to-goodness house servant. Bill Parker, Dulcy’s brother, was given a lively tone by Walter Scott. The part of the philanthropist, C. Roger Forbes, was portrayed vivaci- (ously and forcefully by Bill Winn. | Tom Sterrett, Forbes' businesslike |and efficient secretary, was ably | enacted by Tom Stewart. Schuyler | Van Dyck, the man of hallucina- | tions, was played unusually well |by Scott Ford, whose duke-like |bows were charming and whose I'piano playing was good. | Goed Impersonations Herb McLean gave a convincing | and humorous character enactment jto the role of Vincent Leach, the | scenarist and ardent lover. Mrs. Forbes, the striking wife of C. Roger Forbes, was acted in a man- ner most gracious by Anabel Simp- son. The romantically inclined daughter of the Forbeses, Angela, was excellently interpreted by Bir- die Jensen. Blair Patterson, a young lawyer and a distant relative of Schuyler, was given a polished interpretation by Clifford Berg. Good Settings The setting and the lighting ef- fect were very outstanding. The wall hangings and draperies, made by Sylvia Berg and Margie Allen, were so designed and so colored that Duley’s handiwork in interior decorating was much in evidence. The furnishings, which were se- cured by Lincoln Turner, were very appropriate for the living room scene. The lights were handled by Frank Behrends, and some very colorful effects were produced, par- ticularly during the second act, which represented after dinner. The girls’ costumes were well se- lected by Sybil Godfrey, wardrobe mistress; and LeRoy West's se- lections for the boys' costumes showed good taste. Much credit is due Buddy Lindstrom for his ef- fective handling of the play cast| and the production staff back CROSS ME ! etti, Jeanne Anderson; advertising staff, Louise Tanner and Louise Skinner. The musical selections furnished console and the string ensemble, created much atmosphere for the play, and were greatly enjoyed by the audience.
