This was Fallsie's war cry during rehearsals of that amusing production, a mystery comedy Adventure Incorporated , presented by the seniors on December 2. Ftaymon Harman played Stanley Marchmont, a famous aviator, who opened aunique business of Adventure incorporated . Pat McCoy, as Helen Flagg, accepted Marchmont's proposal to head his Romance department. tShe did, remember?l His first adventure- seeking customers were the society gals, Olivia and Octavia Vandersnoot, played by Frieda Schoeneman and Miriam Pond. They mistook Eugene Pontius and Paul Oyer who played E. Barrington Barr and P. I. Flagler, co-owners of the building, for thugs. William Perl and Dick Fisher, alias Horsefface Charles and Louie the Lug, were searching for Kitty Dalton, a nightclub dancer, known to us as Barbara Miller, to keep her from squealing on their boss. Kitty implored Stanley to help her. With the help of Helen and Marchmont, Kitty swapped clothes with an office boy. Donnabel Loveless, as Miss Smith, a precise school teacher closed the first act with her plea for a discreet adventure. Charlie and Louie began detecting and clowning in act two. While Stanley and Helen were planning Kitty's escape and the Vandersnoots adventure, Marjorie Cox and lrieta Grush as Annie Erickson and Mrs. Murphy, the Vandersnoot's cook and laundress, en- tered to seek adventure. Annie had become an heiress. Meanwhile Charlie and Louie had mistaken Miss Smith for the dancer and had seized her. Helen shouted, What are you doing to her? The same thing that were going to do with you, because you're too darn nosey! This retort ended the second act on a high note. The stage was dark as the third act beganp women in the inner office were screaming for help. Flagler and Barr came to their rescue only to be suspected of locking them in. Mrs. Murphys umbrella was the chief weapon of offense. Kitty came back from the airport because she hated to leave Helen and Miss Smith in the clutches of the villians. Marchmont assigned each one a duty to perform in capturing the thugs. Meanwhile Louie and Charlie captured Kitty and were preparing to throw her, Miss Smith and Helen down the elevator shaft. Entering to find Kitty, Marchmont was slugged by the thugs. As the thugs were ready to escape, Marchmont came to and captured the criminals by the clever device of using umbrellas as forty-fives. Baymon, although bound, did it all him- self, just ask the cast. After this Mr. Flagler changed his mind about Marchmont, and Helen and Stanley formed both a life and a business partnership. The players were directed by Miss Falls, assisted by Miss Potterf and Faye Kindy. Bob Parkison, Don Stute and William Perl set up the stage under Mr. Greens supervision.
