Show GYPSY TRAIL PROVES TREAT Best Performance of the Year Given , at the Gemmell Memorial Club by Babcock Varsity Players. ' . Seldom are the people of Bingham Canyon treated to such a performance $ as that given by the Babcock Varsity ..'Y " players at the Gemmell .Memorial ' '. . Club Friday evening of last week, the c event being the showing of "The Gypsy Trail." .' V;.- From start to finish .these clever players gave a wonderful rendition of their parts, and everyone went home well satisfied in the fact that it was by far the best effort of "Bonnie" Jones, chairman of the entertainment "; committee. . . "Thy Cypsy Trail" deals with young girl, who craves romance, but wants it in the old fashioned conven- tionat way. She wants to please her father by marrying a Mr. Andrews, who seems so sure that she will marry mar-ry him that to please her he plans a sort of romantic kidnapping affair, with an Irish lad, who gives the name ' of Davey Jones ,as the chief kidnap---per. As usual ,the Irish boy falls iu - s." love with Janet, and he shows the audience how a fast worker really works. He takes her to the summer home of Andrews where we meet Andrews aunt, who also knows a thing or two, and between Jones and Auntie, Janet falls as though she had been tripped. Jones leaves her, and the last act shows Andrews ready to announce ,'i $f the engagement, when Davey appeajs, and tells that his right name is Mid if acl Rudder, scion of a rich family, and all ends well, with the usual clinch as the curtain is drawn. . . Lowell Lees, as Davey JkneV gave a wonderful interpretation of the part and made the audience fall for"him at the very outset, and everyoM was "pulling" for him to get theeauti- .J ful Janet, ably played by Miss Ethel - Baker, Miss Baker was just """ mnl??' enough to make one try aWtidnap ( her. Frank McGhie as Edward Andrews, too slow to catch cold, made a great hit with his portrayal of a difficult role. Mr. Raymond ,the father of Janet, was in the able hands of C. R. Houst-man, Houst-man, while Miss Georgiana Taylor in the part of Mrs. Widdimore, Andrew's An-drew's aunt, made everyone feel that when she was young, she too, was romantic. Richard Maycock as John Raymond, the little son, who was always trying to tell everyone their business furnished fur-nished plenty of comedy throughout the evening. Dorothy Irvine, as the aunt of Janet gave a creditable presentation- of the part. Not once during the evening did the actors forget their parts, and not once daring the entire performance did the show drag, making it, as has been said, the VERY best performance perform-ance given in Bingham Canyon since the inception of the Gemmell Memorial Memor-ial Club. |
