THE EIGHTEEN CARAT BOOB A capacity crowd enjoyed the splendid production of the Eighteen Carat Boob, a comedy drama in three acts, by the Senior class last 'Thursday night in the grade audi- torium. The main plot of the play was centered around The Crow, the murderous dare- devil that was not seen on the stage. Minor plots were based on the love affairs of Alice and Jack, Daisy and Harry, and Kitty and Billy. The story was fast moving, and the climax was reached in the final act when Jack Merry, caught and neld by Barlzville and his super sleuth on suspicion of being The Crow told his real identity and received the consent of Bisnette, Alice's father to marry Alice. The spotlighlt. centered around Harry Carter, played by Chuck Heisler, who first was a backwoods hick from Maine, then a beautiful doll baby girl from the same vi- cinity, then as one of the super sleuths, and last as the Yale student, Daisy's fiance. This was a real character part that took plenty of careful study and good acting on the part of Chuck Heisler. The main love piot of the story was in the hands of Alice and Jack. These parts were played well by Eileen Morehouse and Elvin Perkins. Minor love and major fighting came from the lisping little flirt named Kitty, and the studious brainv Billy. Betty Gene Frailey and C. L. Williams fprtrayezl these characters with skill. Freda Squier and Marjorie llade' as Daisy and Bella, were two sparkling glamorous girl friends of Alice. Both girls added life :ind gaiety to all of their scenes. For mush mouthcd talking see Mary Ellen Andrews and Sam Westfall. Boll: of them used real negro dialect with a finish. George Gorman as Mr. Bisnette, Alice's father, was a true doting father of his pampered daughter. Nadine Anderson and Ralph Davis were really wife and husband instead of maid and suitor- Both character- ized themselves splendidly to their parts. Proceeds which amounted to S108 will be used for the expenses of the senior class. Miss McCollough, sponsor of the senior class, and Miss Williams, director of the play, should be thanked for their efforts to make the play a success both financial and theatrical. Behind stage activity also helped to make the play a success.
