T PLAYERS GIVE THE EASY MARK THIS WEEK END Play I A Comedy Drama of Small Town Life; To Be At Temple TICKETS ON SALE NOW Harold Felton and Betty Cool idge Will Play The Leading Parts "The Easy Mark," comedy drama 0f life in the middle west, by Jack Larrie, will be presented by the Uni versity Players Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, at the Temple theater with Harold Felton and Betty Coolidge playing the leads. Matinee performances are scheduled for Fri day and Saturday afternoons, at 3 o'clock and 2:30 o'clock, respectively. The play, quick-moving comedy, ran a solid season at the Thirty-Ninth Street theater, in New York City. Harold Felton will portray Sam Crane, the small town dreamer with big town ambitions. Betty Coolidge, as Mary Jordan, the pretty school teacher, and center of Sam'a ambi tious dreams, together with Mrs Crane, Sam's mother, played by Ar vella Hansen, and Hattie Crane, his sister, played by Margaret Dunlap are the reasons for the big business plans of the town dreamer, Sam. Comedy I Promised Jack Roach, as Charley Hatfield, the town's leading citizen, and rival of Sam for the hand of Mary Jordan promises some excellent comedy sit uations, along with Ray E. Ramsay, in the role of old Amos, a veterinary thrown out of business by the popu larity of Henry Ford's flivvers. Har old Sumption, Thad Cone, Howard Cattle, and Ernie Lundgren are ad ditional members of the cast. The ups and downs of Sam's ex periences in an oil deal he is lured into by a pair of smooth villains, the unexpected "gushing" of the appar ontiw worthless well, niles ud an ex- citincr and laughable climax which if full of thrilling situations and many laughs. The audience is carried along in svmnathv with the blunders of Sam, and is captured by his unfailing good humor.v " It is full of excellent comedy tan gles and humorous slants, and offers a wide appeal to all in its simple, yet skillful delineation of the fortunes and joys of small town people, their joys and sorrows. It is a comedy, but it is done in an intensely human manner. Tickets are one dollar for evening performances, and seventy-five cents for matinees. Ihey are on sale at the Ross P. Curtice Co. W. A. A.
