fda -is iii -Us 'tuttisirotsouiati -fs ,V+ as ADAM AND EVA N JUNE Tl-lllill the Senior linglish Class gave a very clev.er play entitled Adam and Eva. The following cast did their best in making the performance a complete success: George Minney, playing Rl r. King, is a tnan of means at1d one who has nevermade a success as a father because he has spoiled his family and relations by allowing them to sponge on himg the maid, Corinthia, played by Kathryn Dunkle, is a very sensible type of person and one who does her best to smooth out the fatnily dififi- eultiesg lierne Slaughter, as ,lulie De Witt, Mr. King's married eldet' daughter, insists upon herself and her husband living with her father, Clinton DeVVitt, played by Jack l-fewer, is an itnmaculate fellow, the sort with few brains and no ambitions: Catherine Kfacliay, as Aunt Abby Rocker, sister-in-lfaw of Mr. King, devotes her time to clubs and social workg liva King, played by jewel Wfatson, is Mr. King's younger daughter, and although spoil.ed, still has more consideration for her father than the restg Fred lierning. as fir. llelamater, the family physician, is one of lCva's suitorsg Horace Pilgrim, played by l'i'lward lfeltrop, an uncle of Mr. King, suffers from a little bit of everything taccording to hintself onlybg Thomas Wilkiiisott, as Adatn Smith, who is manager for Mr. King's South American rubber plantation, is a romantic sort and knows nothing of modern family lifeg and Lord Andrew Gordon, played by Arthur Goulding, is a fortune- hnnting Scotchman who is very much in love with Eva. The opening'scene is on bill day, the first of the tnonth, and Nlr. King is in a perfect. rage. Most naturally, the whole fatnily is greatly disturbed at the way Mir. King is repritnanding them, and when he finally announces that they are all to move to an old farm for the summer, th.ey decide that it is time to do something. They plan to get Dr. Delamater to tell Mr. King that he is sick and to prescribe a long tripg bttt the whole scheme is sunk when Uncle l-lorace, who was left out of things, gives away the secret. The great change cotnes with the arrival of Adam Smith, Mfr. King's tnanager. Mr. Smith has spent the greater part of his life up the Amazon away from civilization and consequently knows nothing of modern fatnily life. Smith does not want to go back to his work, and finally King persuades him that they should trade places. Nr. King calls the fatnily together and announces his intention of going to South America and leaving Adam in charge of the fatnily. Of course, the family is shocked and quite displeased. The second act discloses a much upset hottsehold. Adam, very disgusted at the conduct of the family, has shut down on the money. liveryone bttt Eva and Corinthia has done his best to tnake Adam miserable. lfva tnakes a decision between her two suitors by announcing her engagement to Lord Andrew Gordon. Adam decides that something has to be done to cure the fatnily of its shiftless ways, and finally hits upon the plan of annottncing Mr. King's rttin. Things take a d.ecided turn. llr. Delamater proves himself a fortune-htmter by leaving, and everyon.c looks for work. The third act finds things quite changed: Uncle 1-lorace has becotne a life insurance agent: Clinton is a salestnan for a clothing companyg Aunt Abby is ntarriedg Andt'ew Gordon has dropped his title, and is running a livery stable, whif.e Eva, julie and Corin- thia, with the help of Adam, have moved out to the old King farm, where they are raising chickens and bees. Adam's true worth is really appreciated by the family after he shows them how to make out with this new life and still be satisfiedf The family is gathered at the farm for a Thanksgiving dinner when Mr. King makes his appearance, to the surprise and joy of everyone. He is dazed to Find his family en- gaged in a really sensible occttpation for once, aml detnands an explanation. Adam is forced to give away his whole scheme, but, with their change of disposition, the fatnily is eager to forgive him. The curtain falls after Adam and Eva have discovered themselves very nmch in love with 'each other. The play was made complete by many minor plots and clever speeches, affording laughs for the audience throughout. C233 t 455.
