club and the dramatic workshop which was given fri day and saturday nights in drown hall was offset by the extreme length of the play itself there seemed to be too many details which while interesting in them selves did not contribute much to the action of the play the alternate casting of male leads gave the audience which to taled 700 an opportunity to con trast the handling of particular roles

characters of the telephone opera tor and george simon's mother acted by mrs william l jenkins and mrs lawrence whitcomb re spectively deserve considerable credit the time consumed in scene changes helped to prolong the length of the play this was not the fault of the stage crew but rather of the very limited resources of the stage itself the plot of the play revolved around a successful lawyer george simon who had worked himself up from a humble beginning and married a member of the social set cora the obstacles of such a marriage are shown in detail regina simon's secretary who is secretly in love with him makes a typical triangle love affair cora leaves husband after much detailed action cora leaves her husband in preference for the play-boy roy darwin after being thrwarted by his secretary in his attempt to commit suicide he regains his sense and finally leaves with regina to work on a new case the settings of the reception room and simon's private office made a very good showing the difficult handling of the sets them selves was well done the punctual appearance of the cast on the stage and their movements and well memorized lines while on the stage show the fine
