Of course, Mrs. Radford--Charlotte Frimpter--favors the younger children, and there's the rub. George, together with Tim Manning-- Iggy Kurau--by tricking Mr. Hargreaves--Mike Kozak--a shyster lawyer, p an to elevate the Ra ford fam ly to a position of self-reliance. Elas Manning--Mary Porskievies--provides inspiration for George while Alice Sorenson as Alice Manning proves to be Mart1n's G. . Perhaps Mike Kozak stole a part of the show for himself because of various intricacies employed by Tim and George e. gi handcuf fs and an electric chair rigged ug by advisor Mr. Curry. . Curry was assisted by Bennett Comer Art ur Flanagan and Art ur Fermanlan, all of whom pu led a fade-out on the night of the performance and left the cast high and dry without proper y men. Some fun--ask Curry and Garrison. owever, orothg Hartigan and Eleanor Rowan remained on the job as prompters and t e play went on to an inevitable conclusion. Miss Brayton dressed the cast--where there was a shortage, and handled the financial end of the production. Doris Johnson succeeded in rounding enough properties, to make a presentable stage set. Miss Ruth Koeppel app led the make-up com endab e. Every Senior who got out and hustled made 531 on each 501 ticket which is a record of some kind or other. Has anyone been missed? No--but Mr. Garrison was the director.
