His bit of interpretation in the second act when he makes known to Hawthorne the fact that he has em bezzled the athletic funds, was very good. These were the hardest lines in the play, but he carried them in a manner seldom seen on an amateur stage. Marie Rowley, playing the part of Elizabeth Jane Keen, was at home in her part. She v fulfilled her duty of keeping ,1'The Easy Mark" from falling into burdensome melo drama in an easy, pleasing way. Her dancing in specialty acts and her in terpretation of the typical winsome college lassie were very good. Phil Warner as Bob Hartley, her lover, was the hinge upon which the dialogue of the plot swung. His singing in the musical numbers was excellent. The part of Dick Billings, captain of the Nelight football team, and arch villain, was taken by Wilson Delzell. His interpretation was remarkable for its proportion. He succeeded in giv ing his part just enough of the villain ous touch to develop the climax in gocd style without causing the play to cheapen. Probably the best bit of acting in the. play was forthcoming when Ray Doyle, playing Coach Brown, delivered his talk to, the foot ball team on the day before the big game. His speech was a very long one, the longest in the play, but Doyle held the high tension of his characteri zation throughout, taking the audience by storm with his empassioned exhor tations. It devolved upon Bob Harley to play the very necessary part of chief comedian, and his work in this part was distinctly above the common He kept the audience in a continual state of glee by his drawling, mirth provokfng dialogue. Maurice Clark as Ralph Curt, grind, developed the pos sibilities of his part to ..a finished de gree. Every movement of his body, everv facial expression, lent them selves to his characterization. His singing of "Grind, Grind, Grind" was remarkably effective. The other members of the cast interpreted their parts with an ease and smoothness of touch which was of inestimable value in developing the general scoring power of the play. The plot is a delightful comedy of the countless number of college dramas. The plot is built upon the career of Jack Hawthorne at Neligh rvilleee. When the 'play opens, a bunch of Neligh College students un dertake the task of persuading Haw thorne, who is a footballlst of renown. to attend Neligh in preference to at tending the rival college of Trenton. They all agree to help in any way they Ann in accomplish this purpose. The plot thickens rapidly with the arrival of Hawthorne. A mutual case is de veloped between Jack and Mary Rob erts, much to the displeasure of the villain Billings, captain of the eleven. Several months pass, and Hawthorne makes good at Neligh. He is the mainstay of the eleven, the most pop ular man on the campus, and, inci dentally, the favored one in Mary's heart. The plot begins to boil when Billings tells Mary that Hawthorne believes her to be "stringing" him. and when he later tells Hawthorne that Mary's seeming Indifference of late is due to the fact that she had shown him attention for the purpose of getting him to attend Neligh, and since that purpose was accomplished it was natural that her interest should wane. The unravelling of the plot hinges upon Fulton Roberts, Mary's brother. Roberts goes to Hawthorne and tells him that he has embezzled the athletic funds; that he is one hundred and twenty dollars short, and asks him .or that amount. Haw thorne, despondent because of Mary's actions', resol.'es to lend RoWts De money end 'tin in a profesrional race on the folio ' 6 day the day of the big game to get enough money to keep him in school until Roberts can repay him. He phones a wire to the officials of the race, but is overheard by the "ever-present Curt, grind and tutor, who spreads it far and wide. The news reaches Roberts, who, of course, understands Hawthorne's mo tlve.'Tle makes a public confession which leads to a general understand ing between Jack and Mary. They are left alone for a moment, until everything is fixed up in true lover style; they are then Joined by the crowd, and as the play ends, in the words of "Fatty" Wilson, "Every thing's all right."
