Cape Theatre

Review By the Obserrer

After a series of modem and amusinR farce-comedies, the Cape Theatre tried its hand on Tuesday evening with a presentation of one of the world’s great plays "Little Eyolf”, written by Henrik Ibsen. The cast was as follows: Altmers, Philip Earle; Rita, Ruth Gregory; Asta, Florence McGee; Borgheim, MacGregor Gibb; The Rat-Wife, Frederica Going; -Little

Eyolf, Bobby Glaubit.

This play, which is one of the best of Ibsen’s—probably no play of his was any greater—has had only two or three productions in America. The only one of record was by Nazimova in New York many years ago. The remarkable point about the play is that while the tragedy is very great through the first part there is after all a hopeful if not a happv ending, very inspiring and inspired. And the play, too, is more modem than most of Ibsen’s work. It might well have been written just a few years ago, for the problem presented is quite up-to-date. The magnificent acting of Philip Earle and Ruth Gregory dom-

inated this production. Without i -

their clarity and intelligence and Phlfcipol Toctc

drab; with these, the play of the world’s great dramas. Well supported by Miss McGee and Mr. Gibb and in smaller parts by Miss Going and a local l>oy— Bobby Glaubit, the drama deeply affects the audience. The staging by Mr. Earle was the best of the season. His true feeling for the play was translated into terms of . movement, business and reading of lines so that everything was clear and compelling to those who are more accustomed to seeing modem comedies. The beautiful set was by Mr. Gibb. Mr. Upham, theatre director, is presenting a fast-moving and humorous comedy next week—"Apron Strings”. On. Monday evening only of next week the Junior Group. will present one of the best mystery plays of recent years, “Ladies in Retirement”.

Recognition Day At Presbyterian Church "Recognition Sunday” will b observed on August 23, at both morning and evening services, at the First Presbyterian Church. The observance, under various other names, has been an annual event for years. The Rev. Albert W. Lenz, pastor, this week said he hopes to see "Recognition DAy” a day of deep spiritual uplift and chal-

lenge.

“For the regular members and friends who support the work of the church throughout the year, Recognition Sunday is a time for special gifts of appreciation,” Mr. Lenz said. "For the summer friends and visitors, Recognition Sunday is the opportunity to present special liberal offerings to the church, which was established in large measure to minister to summer congregations.” The morning sermon theme will be, "The Historic Witness of the Church”. The evening sermon will be “Stewardship”. . Walter Reeves, of Millville and Cape May, will sing two baritone solos. Miss Helen L. Porter, church organist, will play special selections.

Insurance and real estate salesmen are eligible only for "A” and “B” books, Kemey said. He urged salesmen not in the eligible classes to refrain from appealing their cases because appeals are useless.
