By the Observer Enthusiastic laughter and applause were the order of the evening at the first productions of the Cape Theatre winter season last week at St. Mary’s hall. The splendid response of the audiences promises well for the rest of the

season.

“Three Live Ghosts’’ is the production for Friday and Saturday of this week. This is the famous mystery-comedy dealing with three soldiers returning from war, a play which ran for a year in New York and then was played all over the world. It is a different sort of play from the usual run of plays and is full of excitement and laughter, a true

comedy.

In the cast are Philip Earle, who is starred this week, and who also directs the show, and Gene Lyons, William Hughes, Virginia - Daly, Miriam Stovall and Deloris Hudson. Also in the cast are the following local people: Dorothy Reeves, of West Cape May, Sam Freas, who is in the navy, and John J. Cunningham and AmsbrjMitchell Brooks, of Cape May. For the third proaucuon of the season T. C. Upham announces that he has selected another famous play—“The Patsy”. This play also ran for a year Broadway with Claiborne Foster making a great personal success and an enduring Same in the lead and name part. It is in a sense a romantic-comedy and a most pleasant and appealing play for all sorts of audiences. The play has been tremendously successful in high schools, colleges and little theatres. Starred in the name role is Miriam Stovall, who was the voung daughter in “The Family Upstairs”. She will be supported by the Cape Theare group, assisted by two or three Cape May

residents.

So much interest is being shown by service men that it is possible a third weekly production will be arranged. Further announcement regarding this will be made later. The Family Upstairs” was very well staged by Philip Earle, who also won many laughs for his well-timed comedy lines. The settings by Paul Norris and the pf-ops by Dorothy Reeves especially fitted this type of play and were handled in the best possible ^ way to overcome the handicap of in ' small stage space. Expressions ' from the audience afterward were to _jhe effect that the stage served

very adequately.

There was little to choose in the acting of the several members of the cast as all parts were expertly played. The play moved fast and there was not a

dull moment.

The stage managers were Dorothy Reeves and David Hand. The Cape Theatre wishes to express its appreciation to all those who helped with the production, especially to those who made it j>ossible for the productions to be held at St. Mary’s Hall.

Scholarships Available

A $5000 national scholarship program, planned to help acquaint New Jersey farm youth with efficient marketing methods was announced today by the National Junior Vegetable Growers Associa-

tion.

H. O. Sampson, of New Brunswick, state supervisor of vocational education, has been appointed a member of the national scholarship awards committed and will help in administering the state program, it was reported by Professor Grant B. Snyder, of Massachusetts State College, the association’s advisory chairman. Entries between the ages of 14 and 21 will be eligible to compete for a $500 grand national award, four regional awards of $250 each,

and 35 individual prizes of $1001 crops,

each from a scholarship fund es- j Foster W. Weiss,

tablished by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company for the National Junior Vegetable Growers Association, Snyder said. Cash awards may be used to help defray agricultural college expenses or to purchase farm

equipment, it was pointed out. Snyder listed the objectives of the program as follows: To stimulate among young people an interest in the growing and marketing of vegetables. To provide an added means for young people to acquire the knowledge and develop the skills essentia] to the growing and market-

ing of vegetables.

To stimulate an appreciation of the importance of vegetables in the diet and to increase their use

by the farm family.

To develop better methods of

vegetable marketing.

The program is built around an

extension course in produce marketing, designed to provide students with the opportunity to make first-hand studies of various methods used in moving food from

growers to consumers, he said. Program activity in the north-

east states will be directed by a three-man committee headed by Benton B. Cummings, of Northampton, Mass., of the Hampshire County extension service; Arthur

Pratt, department of vegetable Cornell University, and
