Show "J-lieta czd-lvLa {pltl (play- St. John Ervine's "First Mrs. Fraser" opened Theta Alpha Phi's season of dramatic offerings. Mrs. Lila Eccles Brimhall played with finesse the role of a divorced matron who wins back her husband in a sophisticated comedy of English manners. William Anderson, Barrie Wanless, and Ellen Christensen gave excellent support. Harry Allen followed this directorial success with another in "Once In a Lifetime." A "wagon" stage was used to facilitate swift changes of seven different sets of scenery. Robert Wilson, Parley Baer, and Katherine Howard Critchlow, supported by a large cast, gave outstanding performances. "Wednesday's Child," directed by Professor Maud May Babcock, a dramatic human production, was devoid of sentimentality and beautifully handled by Earl Barker, in the title role. A sparkling English comedy, "Fresh Fields," directed by Professor Joseph F. Smith, included fine interpretations by Mrs. Brimhall, Mr. Smith, Lucy Gates Bowen, Cherry Daynes and Charlotte Knight.
