The High schooli dctors, after. considerable re- hearsing gave an extraprdinary play with amazing ability. The audience realized this and .fn’' showing their npprwluuveness showere® applause upon the amateur thesplans. The play went off so-decidedly iwell that the few. vacant seats at.last evening’s per- formance will undoubtedly be filled this evening when the play is re- peated. / »Luaber, versus Capital is the/basis of ‘“The . Lost Paradise.” The play was originally presented in the Ger- man ‘as ‘yritten by the playright Lud- wig Fulda. It was adapted from. the German for the American stage by Henry- Demille. -With -a-national reputation behind it, the play 'could hardly fail to be succéssful when the. local students acted it. An over-indulgent father Mr, An- drew Knowlton has one ambition in the world, to please his beantiful daughter and see hen married” to a ‘man worthy of her. Margaret, his daughter, is betrothed . to = Ralph ‘Standish, who comes from an illus- trious family. Polly Fletcher ana Bob ‘Appleton are both visiting the Knowlton’s and become quite well ac- quainted. A strike is impending at the Knowliton Iron Works where Reu- ben Warner is the superintendent. friend of ‘the people Warner advo- cates their demands which are in- significant when compared to the great wealth of the owner of the Works. = Margaret visits the works before her marriage and is astonished at the conditions existing there. Warner shows her the real state of affairs and she realizes that her finery has beén obtained by the sweat of the working peoples brows. Matters reach a crisis and a delega- tion from the working men, and the new partner Standish try to settle matters. Standish refuses to grant them their demands and the men on their part are just as obstinate. The hands after, no agreement could be reached strike. Warner stands by his people. A few days elapse and the strikers . threaten violence, when Knowlton “attenipts’ to’ give: a party to celebrate his daughter's engage- meént. Outrages are averted,through He, annotnces his decision to leave the works» Knowlton tries to dissuade him Warter 18 the " ren fnvenior T at n_mc)%fi drel is nrm and “Margarét 18arns intended departure. During: the\ last few days she Has discovered the good deeds. Warner has been.doing-and she learns of love for her. . The:en- gagement [‘between ‘Margaret: . and Standish is broken and .the play con- cludes with the betrothal of- Margaret and a man worthy of her, Warner. Miss Olive Littlehales carried. off the leading lady's part in a ‘manner that left nothing to be desired. Her voice, enunciation and confident’ and easy playing were outstanding ; fea- tures .of her work.. Miss Hdrriet Wells played the part of Mrs. Knowl- ton with good grace. Polly Fletcher was the character assumed by Cath- erine Sanders and she brought out the character ‘so that there was noth- ing lacking in the portrayal of ec- centricities and crude ways of the country girl in the city. The part of the maid was played perfectly by Miss Catherine Finnegan. She played the part in a ‘talented man- ner which would have been more pro- nounced had. the part offered more opportunities. The three ‘ factory girls, Nell, Cinders and Kate, were interesting people. The- first, played bK Miss Brown, was serious, the sec- d and ‘comic person, Cinders, was interpreted very well by Miss Sally Humason, and the third, Kate, was pleasingly given by Miss Edith Bayer. Bement Hibbard displayed remark- able ability as the leading man. He had ‘the part of Warner, and he toak advantage of his unusual chances. He was. popular with the audience as his applause was great. The dif- ficult part of the indulgent father, Knowlton, was intrusted 'to Vincent Glynn. He showed singular talent, but had not difficulty in giving ' the expert interpretation of his part. The character part of Ralph Standish was well ‘handled by George Betz.' No play seems complete: without'humor and no vplay is complete -without - a comedian, so this play- was:not -com- plets without Bob .Appleton which was distinctly well acted by Roger- Iolmes. Irving = Fletcher, Leon Bradley, Sidney Dixon dnd ‘Harbld O'Meara, Harry Ginsburg, Leland Hoar and Norman McKirdy, made the most of the parts of workmen at the factory. ‘With his ridiculous cos- tume and funny manneér, Thomas Hawkesworth, created many a laugh ' which enlivened the: show. The young actors all’did well and there was not.the least'adverse crit- icism on ‘the’ adting of 'the play.' The scenery was accurate ‘and pretty, es- becially the scénes at the ' elegant Knowlton mansion. Tl L The. Cast. ¢ The cast is: 2 Andrew Knowlton, owner. “Knowlton 'Iron Works,". & .
