An elaborate stage set de- picting a dead-end street in a large city furnished background for a good play. Scenes for "Once and For All" were laid in an apartment courtyard of a big city where several families were brought together in friendship while they shared the fears and hopes, the joys and sorrows of one an- other. The mixture ot crime, sorrow, love, and comedy kept constant excitement in the audience. The cast was composed of the best dramatics students, including George Harcourt, Doris Fehrmann, Frank Scott, Charles Carolus, lohnny Reininger, Lou Sue Cornibe, and Frances Lear. Also Mary Louise Sim- mons, Warren Lustre, Wendell Phillips, Beatrice Luna, Richard Smith, Rachel Fahrenthold, Violet Russell, Kathleen Edwards, Bobbye Sue lackson, lacqueline Alford, lay Alkire, Celia Ellis, Betty Ann Lockhart, Wesley Walker, Rudy Flores, and Elmo Ferguson. So natural was the acting that students thought nothing at all of Frank Scott hugging his mother lLou Sue Cornibel, but how they Ah'd and Oh'd when he kissed Frances Lear, and, of course, the audience thought George Harcourt and Doris Fehrmann were hardest to beat. Another thrill was the fight between lay Alkire and Warren Lustre, when lay knocked Warren head over heels onto the floor. This was as un- expected to the cast as it was to the audience. Page 118
