The "Snowball"
given by the senior class of the High School was played to a crowded audience at
the opera house last Friday evening. The title of the play in itself does not
suggest the real meaning to be derived without seeing it given. The scene took
place in a private home, illustrating how deceitfulness or a little quarrel may
grow and grow, like a snowball as it is rolled along.
The popularity of
this comedy is unexcelled. The dialogue is clever and spirited, the movement of
each scene is brisk and the keen interest in the intrigue of the plot was not
allowed to flag for an instant.
Each character was represented well and
each one played their part exceedingly fine.
Felix Featherstone was very
able represented by Julius Hembre, who had the leading role and a hard part to
carry out.
Uncle John, an old and dignified gentleman, was played by
Arthur Potter. The part was well rendered, being a hard one to take.
Roy
Masters had the role of Harry Prendergast, a young man in love. His party was
well selected and very well carried out.
Saunders, the servant, was
played by Eddie Klinke. What Eddie undertakes he always accomplishes.
Mrs. Featherstone was represented by Maud Miller, who, as in the past, pleased
the audience with her work.
