Show THE INTIMATE STRANGERS 7*KHE INTIMATE STRANGERS" was chosen for this year's Varsity Play because of its clever plot and absolutely novel manner of development. It is the first Booth Tarkington play chosen for this occasion. The action concerns Isabel Stuart and William Ames who meet when they are forced to spend a night in a rustic railroad station. After condemning the very modern girl, Ames declares his love for Isabel. They are rescued by Isabel's ultra-modern niece and her boy friend, Johnnie White. Grace Derrick, as Isabel, did a masterly piece of work. At every moment she was fully in her part, possibly more than anyone else in the cast. As Ames, John K. Edmunds did his part well and played to the audience at every opportunity. Mercy Lundberg won honors as Ultra-modern Florence. Halbert S. Greaves as Johnnie White, was a favorite. He showed his ability in his best scene and won the applause of the audience. Reuben Whitney as the Station Master, Truella Kowford as Aunt Ellen, Myriantha Burmingham as Mattie the maid, and Paul E. Iverson as Henry, the man about the house, all contributed their part to the play's success. The production was exceptionally well given and held the interest of the audience to the last curtain.
