FLORENCE HOSTETLER IN STAR RILE Large Crowd Witnesses Play Horse play by Band Members av Marring Incident. Not without flawB, but withal clovor In its presentation was "Tho Royal Family," tho Junior class play given at itho Oliver last night. Tho cast was a stronger ono than is usually soon in class, dramas and tho coBtum ing and scenic offects wero unusually elaborate In their character. Tho play, which was capable of much effective rendition, doalt with tho lovo affairs of a princess iri ono of thoso Goorgo .Darr McCutcheon lands of Imagery, it offorod roles for a largo number of persons and on gaged practlpally all of tho dramatic talont of the Junior class. - Miss Hosteler's Clever Acting. Without attempt at undesorved laudation, it can bo said that Floronce Hostctler's presentation of the rolo of tho Princess Angela was worthy of highost praise. Mips Hostetlor dis played her rare dramatic ability bet torthan over before in last night's play. Her's was a difficult part, ono capable of both emptlonal and humor out offoct, and she met its oyer exlgoncy with a most natural ease and ' grace. Louise Wyman's sense of humor In torfored slightly with her very ca pable presentation of the rolo of tho dowager queen of Arcacla. Shq foimd a bit of difficulty in repressing hpr laughter at times when laughter was anything but apropos. But all In all hor acting was excellent. Of, the men characters, Otto Slnkle as Cardinal Casano, the adroit and scheming prelate, was quite tho best His work was tho least affected and ho exhibited at times dramatic ability of a high sort. Harry Coffee, as Vic tor, crown prlnco of Kurland, also merits no little praise, for his actlsg was of Its usual high character. Fred McConnoll, on whom tho finan cial' success of the play as well as much of the dramatic success, de pended, gave a most likable rendition of tho rolo of tho King of Arcacla. Probably Fnancial Success. A larger sized crowd than usually attends such University functions was present, and Indications last night were that tho affair was successful financially. Ono marring Incident waB a bit of .highly discreditable horseplay on the part of somo members of the band during the second and third acts. Whilo It not only affected the work of those- appearing on the stage at the time, it was also noticeable in the audience, where sharp criticism "of 'It was volqed'. ' 'The 'presence of the band in a mus ical yayf however, was jHrfc ef "the performance to be appreciated', for its several selections were eatejiaUlig; and well rendered.
