PLAYERS STAGE
FAMOUS DRAMA
Miss Alice Howell, Hart Jenks
. Herbert Yenne are In Lead
bag Roles.
HAUGSETH DESIGNS
SCENERY FOR PLAY
With a prologue that approached
being humorous, and a conclusion
which, in its dramatic and human ap
peal, moved the audience to. tears,
the University Players presented the
famous melodrama "Madame I" in
the Temple auditorium last night.
Taken as a whole, the acting was
superb, with Miss Alice Howell, Her
bert Yenne and Hart Jenks in the
leading roles. Cyril Coombs did
some very good acting and received
many laughs.
In comparison with the rest of the
play, the prologue was r decidedly
poor, but as the play progressed, it
improved until it approached per
fection at the denoument.
The scenery which was specially
designed by Mr. Haugseth, instructor
in the School of line Arts, was good.
The setting in the last act, that of
the court room, was exceptionally
well done and appropriate.
The play ."Madame X" is one of
the best known to modern audiences.
It deals with a mother who is turned
out of her husband's bouse because
of ber desertion and who finally sees
and is saved by ber son to whom she
is unknown.
The acting was very difficult but
was done very satisfactorily. Tbe
court room scene, which was by far
the most difficult of all, was so real
istic and so well done, that nothing
but a god impression could have been
left with the audience.
