"REBECCA'S TRIUMPH" GIVEN
BY Y. W. C. A.
(Continued from page 1)
A synopsis of the play is as fol
lows:
Act I.—ln Mrs. Delaine's kitchen.
"Gyp" and Mrs. Delaine are pre
paring for the "cooking club" which
is to meet with the school teacher
Rebecca, the adopted daughter of
Mrs. Delaine. (Rebecca had been
found 18 years before in the arms
of a dead man at the foot of the
hollow tree shown in Act II.) Katie
Conner, the servant of Mrs. Roke
man. the wealthy lady at the top of
the hill, to whom she had not spoken
for 20 years, comes to borrow a
wrench. "Crazy Meg" enters and is
shown to an adjoining room. Soon
the girls enter and begin making a
cake which they call "Rebecca's Tri
umph." Miss Clarissa Codman reads
a love letter. During the process of
cooking a runaway is seen along the
road and Rebecca goes to rescue
Mrs. Rokeman. and brings her into
the kitchen. Meanwhile Rebecca has
lost her ring, which was around her
neck when she was found and which
has engraved on the inside, "Rebec
ca." This cannot be found. Mrs.
Rokeman thinks she recognizes a
song by Meg, but is deceived when
she sees her.
Act 11. A grove.
The girls have a picnic and find a
note in the hollow tree which Mrs.
Rokeman takes—a clue to her lost
sister's husband—. Clarissa Codman
finds a love letter which thrills her,
but when she meets Theophilus Mon
tague, this supposed lover, whom she
has never seen, is only one of the
club girls.
Act 111. Parlor in Mrs. Rokeman's
home.
Mrs. Rokeman is entertaining the
club. When the cake baked in Act
I. is cut, Rebecca's ring is found,
which Mrs. Rokeman recognizes.
Mrs. Delaine comes there for the
first time in 20 years and persuades
Mrs. Rokeman to look for her sister
whom she drove away from home
years ago because she married a man
that she herself loved. Meg enters
and throwing off her disguise is re
vealed as Clara, the sister of Mrs.
Rokeman, also she is Rebecca's moth
er, it being Clara's husband who was
found dead with Rebecca in arms
18 years before.
The club girls agree that it is
truly "Rebecca's Triumph."
Characters.
Gyp, a colored girl—Edna Raiford.
Mrs. Delaine, a widow—Grace
Stone.
Katie Konner an Irish girl—Hazel
Richardson.
Rebecca, a foundling.—Marianna
White.
Meg. a vagabond,—Dovie Hayworth
Club Girls
Dora Gaines Hope Motley
Sadie Moorell Marion Ward
Nellie Dunbar Marie Tyson
Edna Stephens ..Lucille Cardwell.
Maria Gray..lsla Willis Thompson.
Gussie Green... Hattie Poindexter
Jennie Woodman Edna Been
Alice Leeds—Emma Leigh Hoover
Grace Greenwood.. Evelyn Henley.
Clarissa Codman, a Spinster,—Nell
Carrol.
Mrs. Rokeman, a wealthy lady,—
Elizabeth Yates.
All the players acquitted them
selves well but special mention should
be made of Nell Carroll in the role
of Miss Codman. She entered thor
oughly into the spirit of her part
and took her audience by storm.
Marianna White in the title role
would certainly have inspired the
small boy to say "Gee. if that's the
teacher I'm going back to school.'"
The most difficult part, that of Meg
the disguised sister of Mrs. Rokeman,
was ably presented by Dovie Hay
worth who surprised even her most
ardent admirers by the skill and un
derstanding with she interpreted her
part. Elizabeth Yates as Mrs. Roke
man and Grace Stone as Mrs. Delaine
played their parts well. Hazel Rich
ardson, as Mrs. Rokeman's maid,
did not provoke many laughs but she
proved an excellent foil for Edna Rai
ford as the jovial Gyp. The latter
was irresistible in makeup and ac
tion. Hope Motley should be men
tioned for her part in livening up
the group scenes. She could always
be counted on to keep things from
dragging.
The new scenery, built and paint
ed for this play, will be a valuable
addition to the Guilford stage prop
erties. The lumber was donated by
an interested friend and the work
done by relays of students under the
direction of Professor Balderston.
To Miss Roberts, Coach and Stage
Director, most of the credit for the
unusual success of the entertainment
is due. With tireless energy, infinite
tact, patience and cheerfulness - she
not only coached the players but at
tended to the multitudinous details of
stage setting. In acknowledgement
of their appreciation the cast, at the
conclusion of the play, presented her
with a beautiful bunch of roses.

What would it mean to your father and mother to get a check for
several thousand dollars or a monthly income from our Company?
Wouldn't they rather have it now than wait until he dies? Isn't it really
worth more? Mightn't it even prolong his life—and make them both happier?
You, sir, can do what your father wishes he had done —take an
Endowment Policy payable at 65.
It is easy to do. It is good insurance, good investment, and good sense.
