AMPHION GLUB N DRAMATIC TRIUMPH High School Players Produce Fitch's “Nathan Hale” The Amphion club presented Clyde Fitch's play, “Nathan Hale,” in the senior high school auditorium last night as the first of its produc- tlons of the present season. Being a period or costume drama, the play was a hard one to produce, but the difficulties were overcome and the brilliant military uniforms and the old-fashioned dresses added greatly to the effect of the play. The action was slow-moving at times, but in the third act it went at a rapid stride, the most arresting por~ tlons of the play being concentrated in the scenes laid in the “Widow Chick’s tavern on Long Island. ‘Willlam Haswell performed com- petently in the title role. Miss Dor- othy Webster as the heroine, gave a vivacious performance of shifting moods which was perhaps the best | of the entire production. All the feminine parts were excellently handled. Miss Marian Ficber doing some exceptional bits as the prime but excitable Mistress Knowlton and Miss Eleanor Hesse as the Wi- dow Chichester. Gunnard Carlson was a sSwaggers ing braggart British officer to per- fectlon and commanded the atten- tlon of the audience as he stamped and cursed about the stage in the heavy role of the piec. Francis Traver showed a fine distinction in handling two rather difficult com- edy roles which differed greatly. Hugh Derrick was excellent as the rascally Cunningham, and Sten Flygt and Douglas Harwood lost their own identitles In their roles as| Colonial officers. The complete cast was as follows: Nathan Hale (Yale 1773) . William Haswell Guy Tita ... Gunnard Carlson Lieut. Col. Knowlton Capt. Adams ... Douglas Harwood Cunningham Hugh Derrick Fbenezer Lebanon. . Tom Adams ... William Hull (Yale 1 eeienr.... Frederick Lockwood The Jefterson Boy. .Adclalde Osgood The Talbot Boy ..
