The few rough places that charaterized Thursday night's performance were entirely lacking, all three acts pro- gressing with a maximum of smooth, clever action, and excellent stage pre- sence. Stars of Play It, would be difficult to select in- dividual stars from what proved to be practically an all-star cast represent- ing some of the best talent on the campus. Jennie Jacobs, '19, who play- ed the leading role as Lady Noeline Belturbet, shared close competition with both of her "Amazon" sisters. Lois May, '18, in particular, almost consT3- ced the audience that she was a "real boy." It is safe to asert that Beatrice Fales, '18, as Viscount Litterly, satis- fied every requirement to be made of a typical hero of romance. Humor of Production The humor with which the play abounds was fairly well brought out by Melba Bastido, '19, in the part of Andre, the French count, and by La Verne Ross, grad.' as Sergeant Shuter. Winnifred Parsons, '19, as the Earl of Tweenways, demonstrated the most professional acting of the entire cast, and kept her audience in constant laughter over her thoroughly good interpretation of the difficult role.
