CRITICS COMPLIMENT “MISS LULU BETT” # Annie Elizabeth Coward and Margaret Love Clarke Give Commendable Portray^ ‘‘HIsB Lulu Bett," the play con structed so masterly by Zona Gale out ofUbe ^dium and dullness of the average American In a small town, contrived to have few dull moments as was presented Thurs day evening, December 16, by the Meredith College Little Theatre. Miss Annie Elizabeth Coward of Goldsboro, as Miss Lulu Bett was not merely in name but in per formance tbe leading lady of the production presenting a realistic and sympathetic representation of Lulu who had spent most of her 34 years slaving for her brother- in-law, Dwigbt Deacon and his family, and was supposed to be thankful for it. She was adept in the portrayal of the ludicrous in Miss Lulu’s life that so often bordered on tragedy. Margaret Love Clark of Monroe, Oa., as grandma, govo a highly commend able performance of an old lady who was not, sweet but w'-ns: -.v) was not to be Ralnaayed, and Sarah Hayworth of Asheboro making hor debut in college pro ductlon, gave an Interpretation of Monona, the spoiled child of the family, that rang true throughout the show. The masculine rdles: that of NInlan Deacon whose rather ac cidental marriage to Misa Lulu gave her courage to combat the Deacon family was played by Bet ty BlUot: Dwight Deacon, the smug husband portrayed by Mlr- rlne Garrett of Greensboro; Min nie A. Forney of Lawndale, the Plano salesman, and Catherine Johnson' of Winston-Salem as the youthful suiter of Diona, fell abort of tbe performance given by the leading lady though Uie act ing of Misses Garrett and Blllott was satisfactory. Others in the cast were Geraldine Tuttle of Winston-Salem as Ina, Dwight's wife, und Botty Flelshnjen of Greenville as tbe youthful Diand. Mi-s. Harold A. List was the director of tbe college players whose offloers are: Margaret Clark, Monroe, president; Minnie A. Forney, vice president; Mil dred Davts of Pendleton, secretary, and Betty Vernon of Brooklyn. N. Y., treasurer.—News Bureau. ARCH T.
