COLUS SHOW I Can't Say No and Stuff Like That There were probably a little above the heads of the older members of the audience but with the strains of the When My Baby Smiles at Me and t'I.iza Jane they really came into their own for the Colus Show was composed of laughs and music to satisfy all ages. This Is America, the theme, was depicted in scenes from typical American Life such as The Corner Drug Store starring' the teen age crowd, The Cowboys on the moonlit prairie and The Darkiesu singing on the banks of some southern river. A wonderful time was had by all including the cast who really put their heart and soul into the show. JOAN SIVLNY

JUNIOR PLAY FOUR DAUGHTERSU or LOVE THY SISTER The curtain went up. It was a wonderful night, March 8, the time 8:00 P.M. There was a hush throughout the audience, nervousness prevailed among the cast fas on any opening nightl. The actors on the stage began to speak, softly at first and then louder as they were more sure of themselves. After the curtain had gone down on the first act and the applause had died away the cast knew they were a success. During the intermission of the second and third acts a present and an orchid were awarded to Mrs, Lange, the director, for all the work she put into the play, and she certainly deserved it. QThey should have given her the D.S.C.J. The play practices and rehearsals were funfand work. There were times when everyone felt like giving up because no one knew their parts Qthis was most of the timej. But every one pulled through very well with no bad after affectsfnot many anyway. The story was laid in a small town much like our own, called Briarwood. In Briar- wood is a Music Foundation where Adam Lemp, the father of four pretty, talented daughters, is the Dean. Everything in the Lemp home ran smoothly until a young musician named Felix Deitz moved in. All the girls immediately fell for Felix, Among the laughter and tears everything turns out for the best in the end Qas all good stories shouldl and the finis of the play finds: Thea married to Ben and in love with him at lastf Kay in Philadelphia studying music and singing on the radio Emma married to Ernest and not picturing life without him Ann and Felix back togethereand swinging on the squeaky gate us the curtain BARBARA BETTERTON goes down.
