A fairly good-sized audience witnessed the staging of “Valley Farm,” a four-act play, by the faculty of Rosewood Friday night and the production was offered in a manner kin to professional talent. The play has a splendid story and its enaction by the sterling performers was watched with thrill and laughs by attendants.
As the hero, Mr. A.H. Veazey was all that could be expected both in actions and looks, and his charming wife, portrayed by Miss Henderson, was a character of personality and most commendable acting. Male impersonations were offered by Miss Clement as “Perry,” Miss Mendenhall as “Azariah” and Miss Litton as the “butler” and all of the three parts could not have been better done.
Mr. Howard handled the role of “Mr. Hildreth” in a most capable manner. Mr. Mendenhall was fine in his portrayal of “Silas Holcomb,” a rustic gentleman with a heart. Mrs. Mendenhall was perfect in the stately role of New York matron.
The part of “Liza Ann Tucker” as taken by Miss Noel was a scream. Miss Muna played the role of “Alvira Holcomb” in a sterling way and “Verbena,” the hired gale, furnished much comedy as played by Miss Wells.
All in all, the play was a pronounced success, and the faculty should be proud of their efforts and the praise they have received.
