Show First Ward Entertainment The third number on the First ward budget activity program was given Thursday afternoon and night of last week and the entertainment was a big success. A group of players play-ers under the direction of the Miss Myrtle Bigelow and Mrs. E. Ray Gardner presented the swiftly moving mov-ing two-act comedy "Mr. Bob" and a genuine old time Alabama minstrel show was also presented under the direction of J. T. Young. The cast of "Mr. Bob" showed careful selection, and each role was very well portrayed. Emma: South-worth South-worth played the part of "Miss Becky", the old maid with an affection affec-tion for cats; Melissa Greenwood and Glen Wright portrayed the character roles of "Pattv". the frivolous ma.iH ! and "Jenkins" the staid English butler. Edith Singleton proved to jbe the charming "Mr. Bob" and Lucile McAllister was the mischeiv-ous mischeiv-ous "Kitty Rogers", her dearest friend. Stanford Steele gave a good impersonation of the worried and pursued "Robert Brown", and Stanford Stan-ford Bingham of his role as "Philip Royden". It would be difficult to say which was outstanding in the ca.st and each is to be complimented. The minstrel show with a cast of some twenty four members kept the audience in an uproar with snappy song and dance numbers as well as flashes of co.ui wit. The end men "Bun" Shelley, "Tab" Grant, Joe Anderson and Jesse Russon had a plentiful supply of wise cracks so there was never a dull moment. Mr. Young, the director, acted as the interlocutor. Miss Nola Comer of Lehi sprang a surprise number, a reading in negro dialect. The entire en-tire company was dressed in flashy attire. There was a capacity crowd hi attendance and everyone was well pleased with the shows. The next number of the ward program card will be sponsored by the Relief Society and will be given the latter part of March. |
