Show Old Lady 31 A SUCCESS scored by Weber's night class in play production was "Old Lady 31." This play has attained some prominence in New York, Chicago, and other Eastern cities, and has been used by many colleges throughout the country as a play representative of the best in drama. It has proved in Ogden to be of the same high standard as "The Harp of Life" and "Jane." It combined the humor of "Jane" with the drama and pathos of "The Harp of Life," and still maintained a decided air of distinction. The setting was laid at an old ladies' home, the play being woven around the story of an aged couple whom circumstances had evicted from a home of their own. The love manifested by this old couple proved to be the tie which kept them together in the Home, the husband becoming "Old Lady 31." The cast consisted of Bertha W. Winn, Don Wakefield, Olea B. Sherman, Mrs. Eva Ekins, Elva Moss, Josephine Robines, Pearl Denning, Hazel B. Jones, Dan Van Kampen, Genieve Moyes, Grant Ellis, and Rigby Jacobs. These characters made an auspicious and creditable portrayal of their respective parts and were very deserving of the many compliments that were tendered them. "Old Lady 31," besides being presented in the Weber College auditorium, was given in the Twelfth Ward Amusement Hall, April 24th. The receipts were turned to the Twelfth Ward missionary fund. This play has evidently been heard of outside of Ogden, for numerous re- quests have been received for the play to be taken elsewhere. Professor C. J. Myers directed the production. Society |
