BELIEVE ME, XANTIPPE PRESENTED BY HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS “Believe Me, Xantippe,” was pre sented as the annual class play by the Senior class of the O’NeiTl high school at the Knights of Columbus hall, Tues day afternoon and night, and, in the words of George McFarland, in pri vate life George Stannard, “Believe Me, Xantippe,” it was some play. “Believe Me, Xantippe,” written by a student of the University of Ne braska for a university class play, made such a hit at its first presenta tion that it waS| immediately taken up by the professional stage to become one of tne greatest hits of several years ago. It had a record breaking run in New York, Chicago and other large cities, because of its real humor. It still enjoys a vogue. The play suffered not at all in its presentation by the seniors, who brought out its humor and its thrills with the adeptness of a cast of pro fessionals. The story is of a young New York blood, who, with a profound contempt for the abilities of minoins of the law wagers a couple of friends that he can supposedly commit a felony and then evade them for a year. George Stannard was George McFar land, the hero, Carroll Templeton as Arthur Sole, a detective, and Willard Arnold as Thornton Brown, a friend, the persons with whom the wager was made. Miss Hazel Ashton Wbs Dolly Kamman, the captivating daughter of Buck Kamman, a Colorado sheriff, and captured the rash young man in more ways than one. The story ends as all good stories should and the curtain goes down with the hero and heroine preparing bo live happily ever afterward. The able presentation of the play is most complimentary to Miss Fayne Dixon, dramatic teacher, under whose direction it was given, and each individual of the cast was a star. A large audience witnessed the production both afternoon and evening and in the audience at the evening show were two of the first graduates of the O’Neill high school: Mrs. T. I). Han ley, a, member of the first class which was cbmposed entirely of girls; and S. J. Weekes, the first boy student to graduate, who was a member of the semnd clas3. ir which there were but two boys. Mrs. Hanley and Mr. Weekes are the only members of either class now residing in O’Neill. - Following are the cast, the char acters and the scenes of the four acts of the production.
