Marion Manola Stars In The Army Surgeon At Duquesne
Pittsburg audiences saw Marion Manola switch to light comedy in The Army Surgeon at the Duquesne last night. The plot centers on a Confederate soldier-turned-fiancee and a Federal colonel who brings a turkey for Christmas. The company includes Stanislaus Stance as Colonel Blodgood and Mason as Richard Newle, with strong performances from Miss Manola, Miss Hudson Collier, and a capable ensemble. The play blends romance and war-time farce, offering witty scenes and encores amid uneven pacing and some exaggerated acting.
