‘01™ PLAYS IN VAUDEVILLE
One-act Comedy by Tacie Mae Hanna Has Successful Run At Orpheum.
“Clipped,'’ a one-act comedy, written by Tacie Mae Hanna, a professor in the School of Speech in this University, is now being presented at the Orpheum, featuring Ethel Clayton and Ian Keith as the double leads.
It was during the presentation of the play on the campus two years ago that the Western Vaudeville Managers Association saw it and contracted it immediately as a vehicle for motion picture stars.
Due to its having a double lead, it was rather difficult to cast it for vaudeville use, but because of its exceptionally clever plot it was of great demand.
The personel of the cast that is now playing and that will make the tours to the different cities presenting the play are: Mary Johnson taking the part of Clara, Keith as Doctor Holbrook, Miss Clayton being Louis, the wife of the doctor and Myles McCarthy as Uncle Horace.
At the time this comedy was pro duced on the campus the part of the wife was taken by Vesta Owen, Clara by Helen Landers, the husband by Bill Hogue and the uncle by Homer Merchant, all members of the Speech department. For this production Miss Hanna was responsible for tbe directing.
In criticising the play Tuesday’s Examiner said: "The implications are amusing, the development of the drama is clever and the denouement a whimsical climax which works a great shriek of joy from the house. ’
The Daily News in its criticism states: “A comedy situation arising when both the doctor and his wife meet with misfourtunes which promise disgrace and disruption of their home, is a pep.”
Leaving L«os Angeles this week thf company will tour to San Francisco where it will be presented. From there it will continue on its regular circuit.
week in view of the general migration to the Stanford game, the actual photography will begin Monday. There will be, however, an assistant in the studio who will be glad to answer questions and make appointments for Monday. In order to speed up the work, the studio will take the pictures of the students in any order that they may come. That is, seniors, juniors, and pictures for the different campus organizations wil be taken at the same sitting. Students whose pictures will appear in the book in senior cap and gown, in street dress, or formal dress are asked to bring along the necessary change of costume so that they may save themselves several trips to the studio and a great deal of extra work to the department of photography.
The students when appearing at the studio should tell the lady in charge the different organizations or places that their pictures will appear in the book as nearly as possible at this early date. Seniors will fill out their record cards at the time they make their visit to the studio.
