The part of Algernon Mon- crieff will be played by Russell Stilwell, who replaced Fred Al- land in the cast Monday night. A comedy of manners, packed with clever dialogue and ridiculous situations, this play deals with tlie love making of John Worthington, Jr., played by James Golden, and Algernon Moncrieff, played by Stilwell. The two gentlemen lead Dor- ris Williams, cast as Cecily Car- dew to believe that their name is Ernest, because of a rash statement made by Cecily that she could never love anyone who was not called Ernest. The surprise element occurs when John Worthington finds out who he really is. The characterization is exceptionally good in the forthcoming Little Theatre presentation. The prim, lovesick, governess, Miss Prism, played by Nancy Rosseter and the pontifical village clergyman, Rev. Canon Chasuble, D. D., played by Elmer Ware are outstanding examples. The lordly dowager, Lady Bracknell, whose part is taken by Caroline' Howes, is a dictatoress of society and causes a stir every time she makes an entrance. Those on the production staff of this play are as follows: properties, Dorothy Jennings, and Frances Twitty; lights, J. T. Bnrdine; stage manager, Tane Hileman; house manager, Flonnie Anders. The box office will be open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons between 3:30 and 5:00.
