Show v .i-r PAGE EIGHT PROVO (UTAH) EVENING HERALD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1937 SECTION VWO High School Seniors Stage "Honor Bright 99 By George W. SeidI Fine character interpretation by the entire cast aided by the Sparkling gaiety of the authors lines provided high entertainment for Provo high theatergoers who last night witnessed the school's three-act senior play, "Honor Bright." Within the aristocratic New England home of the cultured Barringtons they unfolded mer- j rily and capably the story of the trials of Richard, youthful scion of the family, whose love interests concern Tot Marvel, temperamental actress, whom he seeks to marry. Enlisting the aid of Honor Bright, sweet young book agent who happens along when Tot fails to show up after an escapade with police, "Dick" Barrington seeks to pass her off to the family as Tot. By the gracious-ness gracious-ness of her manner, ability to quote Shakespeare and concoct mustard plasters Honor soothes the rebellious family and servants. serv-ants. Hoax Disclosed But trouble arrives in the form of Tot. After a hilarious attempt to maintain the pretence, Dick finally admits that they "might as well tell the truth for once." Then Tot thinks She'll marry her press agent after all and Dick, anxious to forget the whole episode, turns his attention to Honor. In a uniformly good cast, Frank Johnson f as Watts, the butler, stole ' practically every scene in which he figured. In mannerism, ease of presentation, and clever portrayal he not only brought to life an interesting character, but added greatly to the humor of the play. Contrast Good As Tot Marvel, Bessie Johnson brought a dash and zip to the slangy, rough-mannered actress that reacted admirably against the quiet graciousness of such characters as Honor and Dick's mother. As the always-in-hot-water Dick Barrineton, Bill Prussee gave a fine presentation giving spontane- j Ity to the vigorous Dick whose iroblems prove as numerous as a centipede's legs. Eloise Bonnett. Honor in the production, did well as the fine md capable accomplice to Dick's Bchemes, giving a charm to her portrayal that countered excellently excel-lently with the vivacious Tot. Fine Portrayals Mae Williams as Dick's mother, moth-er, Nedra Larsen as Aunt Peg-,-ry. Hollis Taylor as Aunt Peggy's Peg-gy's husband, the bishop, and Winston Dahlquist as the Rev. James Schooley were fine in their characterizations of the cultured Barrington clan and clerics. With dignity and ease they each accentuated ac-centuated the attributes of their environments. Norma Laws as Maggie, the rook, and Dean Steineckert as Michael, another servant, gave their parts outstanding vigor and kept faithfully to their Irish characters. char-acters. Ned Smoot, as the flashy Bill Drum whose ability to know Tot's reactions, gave a laughable port-raval port-raval of the press agent Ruth Richmond as Annie, the maid who can't remember. Garth Taylor as Simpson, and Movell Martell as Jones did their small parts well. Between the acts the capacity house was entertained by the higli school orchestra under Clair Johnson's John-son's direction. Carbon Monoxide Held Death Cause BOISE.
