JUNIOR PLAY Just as the circus contrasts laughter with suspense, the Class of 1950 ' s dramatic attempts combined the humorous and serious aspects of the stage. Ramshakle Inn, a mystery-comedy in two acts, was presented to an appreciative audience on April 29, 1949. The plot evolves around an old inn in New England, which is purchased by a certain Miss Belinda Pryde (Rosemary Richlik). Belinda and Commodore Lucius dowser (Bill Ullrich), her fiance, soon find themselves entangled in a suspenseful mystery, involving a dishonest banker, a shady hotel manager and a mob of dangerous thieves. Further complications arise with the discovery of a body in an old trunk, and the arrival of a mysterious doctor and his wife. This strange couple is accom- panied by a young woman who appears to be in ill health. Later it is discovered that she has been drugged. Unfortunately the blame for these strange incidents falls on the shoulders of Bill Phillips (Ed Uhles), son of the previous owner of the inn. In spite of strong evidence against Bill, he is considered perfectly innocent by his sweetheart, Mary Temple (Juanita Freeman). With amusing heroism, little Belinda manages to unravel the mystery and clear Bill of all guilt. The ending of the play is a satisfactory one, for the ring of thieves is captured, and Belinda receives a handsome reward. “Ramshakle Inn” will be long remembered as an exciting and hilarious production. 10 Poor Alice (Rosalyn Chalko) gets pushed around by l)r. and Mis. Russell (Bob Brown) and (Pat Merko). Belinda Pryde (Rosemary Rich- 1 Ik) is caught in her favorite listen- ing post. It looks as if Dr. Russell (Boh Brown) and Patton (Tom White) have the situation well in hand.
