A large and interested audience witnessed f‘Bernard Shaw's satire "Arms and the Man" presented by Hortense Nielsen and an excellent company at the Regent theatre lasti evening under the auspices of the Norwalkliigh school. Nothing but praise was heard for the players although there was a feeling that Miss Nielsen should nev- er have been cast for the role of "Raina." The action takes place in Bul- garla in the years 1885-86 and csnt- era about a war that is raging inflie Baikans‘ between the Bulgarians and the Serbians. Ths Bulgarians are on the defensive. The first act opens in the bedroom of Raina Pstkeif daughter of Msior Paul Psikoi‘f wealthyBulgarian. who has "the only library in Bulgaria." Raina is Just retiring. when the sounds of battle are heard. and there is a. noise at her window. . A Serbian soldier comes in in window and discovers Raina. He tells her he has been pursued. and that if he is caught it will mean his: death. Raina is instantly attracted to the soldier. and as the noise of the search is heard. she hides him behind a curtain. A Russian oflicer. who is in the Bulgarian army. enters the room. but'nains tslis him that she has seen no one Upon his with- drawal. the young soldier emerges fro mhis hiding. He is exhausted from lack of food and sleep. Raina offers himsome chocolate drops. He devours them .confsssinz his love for chocolates. He tells Raina. that he is a Swiss. but that he enlisted in the Serbian army be- cause flghting was his business. Raina then confides to her mother. that she is harboring this soldier and the mother sypmathizes with him. He has to leave. and they dis- guise him in a cloak of Major Pet- koff. who at the time is away fight- ing for his country. In the second act. Petkoft returns home. the war being over. Shortly after his arriv- al. the Swiss fighter. late of the army of Serbia. comes to return the coat and complications follow. Miss Dolly Crawford as Loulrs. Wilber Braun as Captain Bluntschie. and Edwin Dudley as Major Petkofi‘. were well cast and played their parts to the liking of the audience. .lsan- etts Cass was good as tbs mother. Murlce Jenkins was very good in a small role. while Joseph Sauiins was capable. but a. little stiff in the role of Major Saranoff. ‘ YOUR CAR BATTERY. or radio battery will receive proper care and attentionhsrs.
