Mrs. Sinclair, who to head of the de¬
partment of drama and expression dur¬
ing the summer school, has earned a ,
reputation for her ability throughout
the Southland, and although there waa
an early delay In assembling the cast
rehearsals have been going on with In¬
creased rapidity for the past two
weeks, and the play has rounded out
wonderfully, according to the director.
The play to a fast moving comedy in
which a highly sensitive girl with a
yearning tor a career enters Impulsive¬
ly into a number of extraordinary sit¬
uations, much to the disgust of her
sharp-tongued, cynical father. How¬
ever, as to the usual case, the audience
is not disappointed. hSe finally mar¬
ries the “right" person In the end.
Kate, the girl, to played by Carietta
Kendricks and J. Rogers Moore takes
the leading role opposite her.
Kempy. around whom the play to
hinged to a poor boy, a plumber, who
aspires t be an architect and soon
gets mixed into the plot In a seeming¬
ly inextricable way. He moves through
the play with a swiftly boyish freedom
that changes at times to mannish in¬
dignation at his part in the affairs ot
the family with which he has been
thrown.
Pa Bence and his household endea¬
vor to force Kate Into a marriage with
the rich Duke Merrill, who she really
loTbs but refuses to recognise the t
signs of the cherub.
Kempy becomes the "secret sorrow"
of Ruth Bence and complicates mat¬
ters more than ever when
КетрУ
learns she really cares for him. Ruth
Bence to characterised by Louise Pick¬
ens. of Molton, Ala.
Pa Bence, played hy F. T. Brower
and Ma Bence. Miller, two very humor¬
ous characters, typical of the middle
class of the average slie American
town.
Jane. Mrs. John Routledge, their
daughter, and Ben. Martin Nonnally,
Jane's husband, aid in the action and
plot
The play will be given only once
