THE PETRIFIED FOREST By Robert Sherwood ROBERT SHERWOOD ' S stirring patriotic play, The Petrified Forest, with its loving, humorous attitude toward American life began the dramatic activities of the year. Penny Prendergast as Gabby Maple and Jack Beardsley as Alan Squier, the pauper poet, become ac ' quainted in the Black Mesa Bar-B-Q on a lonely cross- roads in the eastern Arizona desert. Jack Maxwell as Boze Hertzlinger, the ex-football hero, makes a pass at Gabby, but Squier intercepts. Scrivie Scriven as Gramp Maple, Bernie Thai and Marian Jackson as Mr. and Mrs. Chisholm add a touch of humor to the situation, while Clyde Doran as Duke Mantee, the bandit, provides the thrill by killing Squier at the poet ' s own request so that Gabby might have his insurance to return to France. FRESH FIELDS By Ivor Novello As MERRY a little comedy as ever threw a sleek- gowned first night audience into the aisles, written by Ivor Novello, was one of the most successful plays C. S. C. Dramatic Club has produced for several years. Marian Jackson and Deenie Liggett as the London aristocrat sisters, Lady Mary Crabbe and Lady Lillian Bedworthy, try to persuade Lady Crabbers son, Tim, played by Mai Bellairs, to marry a rich girl in order to help the family finances. Tim refuses, then Lady Crabbe takes in the newly-rich Australian family as paying guests, to provide a source of income, telling her haughty sister that they are visiting friends. Jeanne Hill, as the bold, outspoken Mrs. Pidgeon, with her daughter, Una Pidgeon, played by Simie Simonds, and her brother, Tom Larcomb, played by Wirt McFedries, compose the hilarious Aus ' tralian family. Even Mickie McGrew as Ludlow, the butler, is a riot. Tim Crabbe marries Una, Tom marries Lady Lillian, and Mrs. Pidgeon and Lady Mary, not to be daunted, take a trip around the world. 145
