Ingenue Rita Delivers Stellar Performance in Local Play
The review lauds Miss Jean Walker as Rita for her singing and dancing, with a notable burlesque of Tittle Mary Morgan. The Daughters of the Trusts, led by several named actresses, look stunning in gowns and deliver strong ensemble numbers. Cast members including Mr. Lewis, S. R. Bentley, Mr. Saunders, Gus Smith, and Fleming Holden receive praise for their character work and stage presence. The chorus and supporting players are commended, marking it the most social amateur performance yet in the city.
