A POINT OF VIEW By ALBERT ABBOTT HIGH SCHOOL LANGUAGE NIGHT The two plays offered Friday evening, April 30, by the high school foreign language pupils was certainly an achievement for those who took part therein. If the students will use their French and Spanish in everyday actual life later on in their careers as fluently as they did on the stage of the high school they will have a very useful accomplishment, indeed. There were two plays given by the pupils on the evening in question. The first one presented, a short one, was in French, was entitled, "La Surprise D'Isidore." The other one, somewhat lengthy, was in Spanish, entitled, "Zaragueta." In the French play—"La Surprise D'Isidore"—there were five characters, namely, a doctor, his wife, his mother-in-law, their maid, and the doctor's friend. Myra Underhill played the maid very well, doing quite a bit of the talking in French. Her acting was creditable; but, David Belasco might not think so because she did not perform those little mannerisms that seem to be peculiar to French malds. Anyhow, to judge by all the French maids I have seen on the stage, those little mannerisms are a part and parcel of French maldism. I have reference to the graceful bow, with the first finger supporting a dainty chin, and the left hand supporting the right elbow, with a quick bend in the knee. All this action is done—as you know—to say in Spanish and she delivered it very acceptably. Charles Lake made-up good. His hair was gray, denoting years of endeavor, but his stride was youngish. His Spanish was Spanish, for all I know. Ruth Omer made-up the most Spanish of all. She really did characterize a distinguished Spanish mistress of a large estate. The scene at the table with her niece as they were chattering and folding the linen of the household was good. Martin Leuschner played a part of a village doctor. Of course, he had something to do—the patient's pulse by the old watch method. He was on the stage quite a bit, but what for, I could not judge from the "comotion" going on thereon. A village hack driver, played by Howard Pannier, was in the scene a few minutes. He didn't have much to act, but recited a few lines of Spanish. He learned that much, anyway. His make-up did not indicate he was a hack driver. The program said he was, nevertheless. If he had on one of those European high hats, a shabby Prince Albert coat with large brass buttons in two columns down the stately front of his personage, and a large whip in his hand when he entered the "parlor"—maybe it was a reception room—he would have produced an "atmosphere" characteristic of his part. Nevertheless, the producer of the play will do better next time. There were two servants in this play (wealthy farmers, you know), one played by Edgar Rockwell and the other played by Ida Manter. Miss Manter had quite a good deal to say, and she said it well. Her acting of the part got by acceptably, but, as in the other play above mentioned, certain mannerisms were omitted. Edgar Rockwell was good. A few enough of a limitation. Also, the plot of each regrettable that youth could not had in them a character built wholesome, as and dramatic ppt at the table with her niece as they were chattering and folding the linen of the household was good.

I have reference to the graceful bow, with the first finger supporting a dainty chin, and the left hand supporting the right elbow, with a quick bend in the knee. All this action is done—as you know—so quickly and gracefully that it captivates. Miss Underhill left this out, sad to relate. I use to be on "hello terms" with a young girl in Los Angeles who is now a leading lady of a successful stock company in a big eastern city. She started as a French maid when the Burbank theater in Los Angeles was in its glory as a fashionable stock playhouse. So, from chic little French maids famous leading ladies grow. (Apologies to the oak.) The doctor's friend was played by Mignon Oldfield. The plot of the play is supposed to center around these two—the maid and the doctor's friend. These two did a whole lot of talking, but what it was all about, I could not tell. But they certainly did keep it up a long time. Oldfield's acting was creditable. The doctor was played by Jack Jackson. The Prince Albert coat he wore gave a "doctor atmosphere," if nothing else did. What he lacked was the "self-assurance" air all doctors seem to carry. However, he did well, considering. Grace Hedstrom played the character of the doctor's wife. Her French was French, all right. (It was Greek to me). She created the only motion picture thrill in all the play. She came in to the doctor's office (I guess it was his office) just as the doctor's friend was ransacking the doctor's desk for an envelope (I presume). She made one of those nice, feminine screams. The acting of Mignon Oldfield searching the desk was good. Vesta Newsom acted the part of the mother-in-law. I take it she was supposed to be the mother of the wife of the doctor's. However, she had a hard part to play. She did well. As all stories end, this plot so ended—all came out nicely—but, the maid (Myra Underhill) could have shown more disappointment when the There were two servants in this play (wealthy farmers, you know), one played by Edgar Rockwell and the other played by Ida Manter. Miss Manter had quite a good deal to say, and she said it well. Her acting of the part got by acceptably, but, as in the other play above mentioned, certain mannerisms were omitted. Edgar Rockwell was good. A few times he came into the scene, but did not say a word. His acting said much, because he took his part splendidly. His tone of voice—when he did speak—was good, very good. There were two village friends of the family portrayed in the plot. One was the sister of the village priest. The other family friend was the village priest's sister's son. The village priest's sister was played by Nettle Abbott. She was on the stage several times, but only long enough to put "environment" into the plot. As far as I could see, she played her part satisfactorily. Her son, played by George Henry, was an interesting character. Of all the male characters in the plot, he was the most Spanish of them all. He displayed gestures of arms that, if they were used to a fuller swing than they were, his acting would pass for a motion picture play. He looked and dressed just like Spanish youths I have seen in Spanish novels. His make-up, acting and delivery of his acquired Spanish stands out above the other parts played. A Madrid money lender was played by George Kohlenberger. The play had progressed to some extent before he made his appearance. When he did come on he impressed me as if he were afraid he would never get on—he was so "staged frightened." He had a hard character to take and he took it hard. He did not put vim enough into it. Anyhow, he didn't look like a money lender. Maybe that is the reason why his part didn't "get over." When he came out of the wood shed all wet he did some good acting there, though. When Charles Lake went and sat down in a Morris chair (an article, I doubt if it were in existence in Spain when hacks were in vogue) munching at some cookies, he did a good stroke of acting.

However, she had a hard part to play. She did well. As all stories end, this plot so ended—all came out nicely—but, the maid (Myra Underhill) could have shown more disappointment when the truth was told that the "handsome patient" was not really to be the doctor's patient, after all. Anyhow, the English version on the program said she was "left to mourn the fact that the handsome man is not to be a patient after all," but she didn't "put over" any Mary Pickfordian dramatics. The students who took part in the playlet are to be congratulated upon their fluent demonstration of French. They have, evidently, learned their lessons well. There was more action in the Spanish play—"Zaragueta." There was more of a plot in this play. A wealthy Spanish farmer played by Charles Lake had a nephew, played by Kenneth Goodale. The farmer's wife, played by Ruth Omer, had a niece, played by Ruth Chamberlain. The nephew came home on false pretenses. He made off he was sick, but it was a scheme of his to get money from his uncle to pay a "loan shark." He connived with Ruth Chamberlain, the niece, to shield him in the plot. She loved him, so that accounts for much perfidy. The nephew and niece were the two main characters in the plot. These two young people certainly did act splendidly. Kenneth Goodale was really funny—that kind of genuine humor. Miss Chamberlain had much like a money lender. Maybe that is the reason why his part didn't "get over." When he came out of the wood shed all wet he did some good acting there, though. When Charles Lake went and sat down in a Morris chair (an article, I doubt if it were in existence in Spain when hacks were in vogue) munching at some cookies, he did a good stroke of acting. The real action of this play nearest to reel acting was by Kenneth Goodale. When I saw him spouting around the high school stage, I could imagine I saw that celebrated, versatile actor, George M. Cohan. He seemed (Goodale) to have a sense that he was to act a part and not merely ring off a rehearsal of Spanish language instructions. When young Goodale first entered the scene he "flopped" down into an easy chair in a real reel manner. His characterization of a hungry youth was good. In short, all through his part, he was a "George-M.Cohan-live-wire." Young Goodale and Miss Chamberlain were supposed to have received the blessing of the aunt and uncle at the close—as a climax—but the company as a whole seemed to forget all plays should climax with a climax. I noticed that Goodale made an effort to climax, but his supporting associates must have forgotten about it all. Miss Chamberlain deserves credit for so nicely acting the chic niece and saying so much so fluently on a whole. All the players did well considering a lack of personal direction of Thomas H. Ince. A Spanish atmosphere would have been more successfully created if more Spanish costuming had been in vogue. Between the two plays, there was not The governor noted upon that clear to set aside verdict of a jury wrote the follow governor under it.

About every so often outside women come along asking for money for one charitable cause or another. How about it? Sugar profiteers are gouging the people. However those who can get along without the "alcohol" effect can very well do without sugar altogether. Try it. Somebody has taken to stealing milk left upon doorsteps in bottles by the milkman. One way of reducing the high cost of living. A man who formerly was a wet-goods salesman in a big city up the road, and was rated as a crackerjack, is now in the patent medicine business. He says he has more than he can do. Some curious people are asking what is the difference between just plain everyday brick and the tile variety? WHY NOT CALL ON MOONEY? Too bad that in this perplexing diplomatic situation in which Russia cuts no small figure, President Wilson does not call for the assistance of Thomas J. Mooney, the convicted bomb thrower of San Francisco. Less than two years ago, Mooney was a figure in international affairs of dominating and critical influence. Because of Mooney's importance, President Wilson stepped aside from his federal duties and interposed his national power in order to save Mooney from the gallows. He succeeded, and Mooney still lives. For the information of those who have failed to appreciate the high place Mooney occupies in international diplomacy, let us recall President Wilson's letter to the governor of California, written under date of March, 27, 1198. It reads as follows: "With very great respect I take the liberty of saying to you that if you could see your way to commute the sentence of Mooney it would have a most heartfelt effect upon certain international affairs which his execution would greatly complicate." The governor of California could not upon that showing, see his way clear to set aside the result of the verdict of a jury, so Persident Wilson wrote the following letter to the governor under date of June 4, 1918: "I beg that you will believe that I am moved only by a sense of public duty and of consciousness of the many and complicated interests involved when I again must respectfully suggest a commutation of the sentence" A man who formerly was a wet-goods salesman in a big city up the road, and was rated as a crackerjack is now in the patent medicine business.

Play safe, girls, and pull down the blinds. Quite a number of the old early birds of the days gone by are in high glee and upon the tiptoe of expectancy.

I would not venture again to call your attention to this case did I not know the international significance which attaches to it." Of course the governor yielded to this persistent plea. He could scarcely do otherwise when the tone of the president's letters carried the inference that international disaster might result from the carrying out of due process of law in the United States. Mooney, who was a notorious I. W. W. organizer, an open exponent of force, a declared advocate of defiance of law, convicted of bombing a preparedness parade, was saved because of his importance somewhere in the international mechanism. But the saving of Mooney does not seem to have been effective thus far. Presumably, it was to please the bolshevists of Russia that he was saved, but the clemency extended seems to have been reciprocated only by the spreading of bolshevistic doctrine in the United States. Perhaps the bolshevists of Europe want him freed—want him sent to Europe to lead their governmental activities. Whatever their wants, does it not seem strange that since Mr. Mooney is such a vital factor in international affairs and his welfare is of such overwhelming significance, the president makes on use A gent pulled in here Sunday morning long enough to get a supply of gas, saying he was on his way to Tia Juana, and must hurry right back.

Report has filtered through that two Santa Ana gents were sent to the county hospital with a case of "D. T.'s." How come? Some parties rambling over the border northward say it's easy. When they get to the gate they hear a command sounding something like this: "Got any ballast?" "Nope!" "Get the out of here!" More turmoil in Mexico, United States warships sent to both coasts, United States artillery ordered to the border, more American lives and property menaced. What will come of it all, no one can tell, but it is plain the administration's lack of policy save the feeble policy of letting things drift has simply helped conditions to get worse. Of him in settling the critical diplomatic difficulties that now confront the United States and the rest of the world. If Mooney should refuse to exercise his marvelous power in compliance with the president's request, he would be an ingrate, indeed.

The housewife or her help cannot be expected to go far GROW A GARDEN In these times of high prices every one should have a garden. It should be near the house. The housewife or her help cannot be expected to go far for products and they will often fail to use some if too much trouble to procure. The home garden should grow all that the family desires in both fruits and vegetables. We must have fruits and berries of all sorts, and a great variety of the best vegetables. All these should be chosen with a view to seasonal supply, striving to use the extremes in both early and late sorts so fruits and vegetables may grace the table every month in the year. You will be saved both time and money and have better products than you can buy, at lesser price, and if sufficient variety is grown one-half the table expenses will be cut off.
