"Mice and  Men," given  by the Sopho-
her delicately modulated voice, and natu-
ral-sweetness of manner charmed the au-
jdience. Helen Harris, in the difficult rule
of Mark Embury, won sympathy immedi
aiely by her earnest, direct delivery and
tender but restrained emotion. Her ac-
tions were few, but very effective.   This
i was shown particularly in the end of Act
IV, where Mark L'mbury enters, hears the
singing of the two lovers and azlta, With-
out a line to say.    The last part of Act!
Ill afforded Lucia Chase ami Helen llar-i
ris their greatest opportunity for acting. |
They   were   successful   in   reaching   the
; highest point in the play. The orphan .
ne likewise seemed particularly fin-
ished with the excellently characterized
matron and beadle. The production
seemed uneven in that it had these well-
Hnished scenes "on the one hand and on
the other scenes that dragged, due mostly
to slowness  in  picking up  cues and  in
� Hntranees. Eleanor Jencks. as Roger
Goodlake^ kept the audience laughing
with her spirited impersonation. Her
facial expression was excellent. The part
of Joanna Goodlake was acted to perfee
tion at first, but fell short somewhat in
1 the emotional scene.    Sir Harry Trimble
stone held the audience every moment he
was on the stage. The rdle might well
have been overdone by one b ss artistic
than Monica O'Sbea.                                 �
The costuming, music, dancing an I
scenery were carefully and sueci ssTu ly
accomplished, in fact, the committee
who chose "Mica an i Men" are to be com-
plimented'oa having selected a play that
surmounted the ditlieulti.-s pj DA) lu< tion
in the Gymnasium and of one which of-
fered parts so well suited to the actors in
the class.
