PRETZELS—"Daddy, Daddy, I want a pretzel." Pitiful scene<br />

from Ten Knights in a Bar-room now playing at the Feastman Theatre.<br />

Feastman Offers Super<br />

Attraction This Year<br />

By Gerald Gooseflesh<br />

The Feastman theatre offers this week as<br />

its feature attraction that stirring play, "Ten<br />

Bights in a Knar-room," written by that<br />

world-famous dramatist, Napoleon Gooseflesh.<br />

The play opens in Lapland, showing the<br />

happy little Laps at play. From then on the<br />

action of the play moves rapidly, and the<br />

interest is sustained through to the last moment,<br />

when the final curtain descends amid<br />

the cheers and huzzas of the audience.<br />

The plot of "Ten Knights in a Bar-room" is<br />

very complicated. It revolves around the<br />

efforts of a poor shoe-maker to pay off the<br />

mortgage on his old homestead, and raise<br />

enough money to send his son through Vassar.<br />

ID the first act, the unscrupulous village banker<br />

(J. Schlick) demands that the shoemaker<br />

(E. P'oster) pay him the mortgage money<br />

within three weeks. Meanwhile, the shoemaker's<br />

son (B. Levine) is in another town<br />

(J. Cohen), trying to sell the family cow (Lon<br />

Chaney). While in the town (J. Cohen), the<br />

Central <strong>Library</strong> of Rochester and <strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong> · Yearbook Collection<br />

son (B. Levine) enters the cow (Lon Chaney)<br />

in a cattle show (S. Bosse). The cow wins the<br />

first prize, and the son is able to sell it for just<br />

enough money to cover the cost of the mortgage.<br />

He returns two weeks (M. Seegler) six<br />

days (M. Maier) and eleven hours (J. Lohrman)<br />

later, just in time, of course, to pay off<br />

the mortgage in the last act.<br />

The play is well constructed and very well<br />

written, but the acting is terrible. Except for<br />

the fact, that the entire play is so well written,<br />

run. It was run out of town the first night.<br />
