The cast: Allen Langford Robert Leslie Fred Harry Sweeney Harry Witxel William K. Blake A Doctor William Webb A Missionary James M. Hugh A Robert Leonard Engineer. Pat O'Brien Worthlngton Wray Meltmar Edna Preston Jim Fish Tony Donovan The Little Group of Asbury Park last night added "White Cargo" to its list of well played productions. The offering was well received by a responsive audience that fully appreciated the efforts of the players.

Miss Edna Preston, the company's leading lady, as Tondeleyo, the half-caste, a dark-skinned beauty, halt French and half native, give an Ideal performance. Her makeup is an elaborate one and evidently requires much time and care in preparation. Miss Preston, the only Woman in the cast, puts forth every effort in her portrayal of Tondeleyo, the impulsive, impassioned beauty, and her efforts were well received. Other members of the cast work earnestly In making this famous International dramatic hit a stock success. William E.

Blake, the company's character man, as Harry Witxel, makes an ideal character. His reception was a cordIal one, Blake's followers welcoming him warmly. His work is smooth and finished. Robert Leslie, the company's leading man, who plays Allen Langford, sent from London, to his island post, puts forth his best efforts, while William Webb, as the physician, as usual, with his fatherly tone, amusing and yet sincere, is an ideal character. His quaint mannerisms and slow speech, were typical.

Sweeney, who appeared only in the first act, gave a good interpretation of a man suffering from fever and effects of alcohol, while Hugh, as a missionary, and O'Brien, as the engineer, proved amusing. "White Cargo," which enjoyed long runs for several years in large cities, and was played here last winter by a road company, is an interesting of fering. WEDDED ON SUNDAY Mr. and Mrs. Charles O.
