The house was packed té capacity, and judging from the applause, “Green Stockings” was the most popular play presented at high school for the last ten years. Promptly at o'clock, the high school rendered “Zampa,” and at 8:30 the first act was offered. The scene was'a room in Mr. Faraday's house, and the scenery and stage settings would do credit to any professional performance. At the beginning, . all the daughters of Mr. Wiliam Fara- day (David Magnuson) were seated around discuesing the possibilities of marrying off Celia Faraday (Irene Andrews). Many humorous remarks about her green stockings, and queer habits were made. When Celia Fara- day appears on the scene, she an- nounces that she is engaged to a Col. Smith, stationed in South Africa. The attitude of the entire family is changed toward her, and she expect- ed this change of affairs for she told the “fib” just for this purpose. Celia is forced to write to her sup- posed lover, and her sisters see that the letter is mailed. They also see the name J. W. Smith In the army register. In the last part of the act, Celia takes Mrs. Chryslin Faraday, an aunt (Minnie Paro) into her confi- dence, and tells her of the plot. The aunt and Celia decide to send the no- tice of the colonel’s death in to the death column of the London Times. The second act is eight months later when the notice of . the - colonel's death has been sent in. The family sees the colonel's death notice and they try to decide the best way to break the news to Cella. They be- come confused, and Celia helps them out by reading the notice herself. Col. Smith receives the letter, and reports at the Faraday home to learn the cause. He poses as a great friend of Col. Smith’s and presents trinkets to Celia to try and force her into a confession. The act ends by Celia and the colonel having dinner to- gether, while the rest of the family and their friends go out to dinner and a theater party. The last act is short. The colonel tells his right name at the dinner and when the time for Celia comes to leave for Chicago with her aunt, the colonel proposes. It would be difficult to choose any one star from the cast, for Miss Mil- dred Weld selected every one of her members from a large fleld of possi- bilities. The entire play is centered around Irene Andrews, as Celia Fara- day, and much of the responsibility of the play remained with her. Miss Andrews was a credit to the play and to the ability of Miss Weld. The old ‘‘war horse” of high school dramatics was on deck for another conquest last evening. This makes “Tom'" Hawksworth’s fifth appear- ance in dramatics, and each time he shows a marked improvement. The others of the cast are to be compli- mented for their good acting, such as the acting of David Magznuson, the military bearing of Andrew Robb, the | mmmm .
