"THE EASY MARK"
(Continued from page 1)
Chatt, as Fulton Roberts, brother of
Mary Roberts (Edith Holcombe)
played his difficult part in master
style. 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."
