"Stirring the emotions of approx-j
imately 1,250 persons, the largest
I Winthrop audience assembled for an !
-entertainment this season, the Towni
theatre of Columbia charmingly prcj
sented "Little Women," in the main
auditorium of Winthrop college, Saturday
evening, February 4.
"In this fascinating drama, varying
degrees of both pathos and humor
were well intermingled. * The visible
manner in which the action moved
forward, the skilled interpretation of
the characters, the spiritual harmony I
of the stage setting and lighting with
the play and the picturesque costumes,
all contributed to the success
of the performance. ' ?
"As the impulsive, boyish Jo, Miss
Julian Lemon was delightful.
"Miss Ruth Hunt well played the
part of Meg, who keenly felt her re'sponsibility
us the eldest of the "little
women."
"Laurie, well interpreted by. Wilbur
Wertz, Jr., was like a brother to the
four sisters, sharing their joys and
sorrows.
"With the understanding of an .q
ideal mother, Mrs. Lilla McCutchen
is "Marmee" to the girls.
"So true in its appeal to real life
was the play that it deeply stirred
the emotions of the audience.
"The drama, which was staged under
the direction of Belford Forrest,
was adopted from the story of Louisa
M. Alcott by Marian Do Forest."
