I'll bet you 310,000 that I can tell the truth for twenty- four hours, declared Bob Bennett in the first senior play presented December 23. And so started a riotous com- edy, Nothing But the Truth. You can imagine the results! It wasn't bad enough calling his boss a hippopotamus, but Bennett had to go further and tell his girl that he had been in love before. This is only a mild idea of the trouble his pursuers got him into. The plot of the play is that Bob Bennett must double 310,- 000 given him by his girl, Gwen Ralston, the boss's daughter, who wants 320,000 for Bishop Doran's charities. He decided that the best thing would be to make this bet with Mr. Ralston, Dick Don- nelly, and Clarence VanDusen. VanDusen. who was left with some worthless stock, tries to sell it to timid Bishop Doran. But on the advice of Bennett. the Bishop surprises every one by going into a rage and saving himself from the trick of VanDusen. Mabel and Sabel Jackson complicate matters more by almost causing a divorce be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Ralston. After a horrible twenty-four hours for every one concerned Bennett gets the money and naturally gets his girl. Make up? Shame on you, Bishop.
