ll-lay-lFever A three act play, Hay Fever,'l by Noel Coward, was presented by members of the Dramatic Club as its first production on January 12, 1935, under the able direction of Mr. Louis P. Krauss. The acting' was excellently done, and the cast is to be complimented. The cast was as follows: Sorrell Bliss, Helen Enyeartg Simon Bliss, Melvin Wyantg Clara, Jean Norrisg Judith Bliss, Adelaide Glendinningg David Bliss, Henry Maurerg Sandy Tyrell, Floyd Waite, Myra Arundel, Clare Smallwoodg Jackie Coryton, Muriel Squier: Richad Greatham, Robert Heil. The play centered about the Bliss family in whose midst anything could be expected to happen - and usually did. Each Bliss had invited a friend over the week-end without informing the others and expected his guest to occupy the one guest room. This little matter started in one of the frequent family free for all's and ended in the usual tie. Mrs. Bliss, a retired actress who had decided to return to tl1e stage, seized every good opportunity to act in her home and succeeded in being very dramatic about mere trifles. Mr. Bliss, a tea-drinking author, was working on a new novel and lent a snappy bit of temperament 'Lo his scenes. In whole the Bliss family proved to be so self-centered and unsociable that the guests were left to their own resources and finally took a hasty French leave while Mr. Bliss was reading his finished novel, amid numerous arguments and rantings, to his ever-criticizing' family. The scene was laid in the attractive Bliss home in Cookham, England. The stage setting: was evceptionally charming. f'The Torch Bearersn The junior class, under the direction of Mr. Krauss, presented as their annual class play, The Torch Bearcrs on Friday evening, March 1, 1935. 1 This amusing comedy of three acts centered around the presentation of a one-act play by a group of amateurs. Mrs. J. Duro Pampinelli, who pretended to be a great authority on the needs of the Little Theater and who really knew so little about it, was, in charge of the direction of the play. Mrs. Ritter, a very promising actress faccording to Mrs. Pampinelli, but not to her husbandj was ll1'f.2'Ctl by hen actress friends to go on the stage to take the place of Mrs. Sheppard, whose husband had just passed away. Mr. Ritter, her devoted husband, strongly objected to this procedure and exciting results followed. Much amusement was provided by the irresponsible Mr. Spindler, who was supposed to take care of the various properties which were needed in the play. He did not do this, and consequently there was no end of trouble. The difficulties which the players managed to get themselves into were many. Nelly Fell, who was in her sixties, was very amusing because of her constant flirting: with the young' men. She had had three husbands and thought she l'lllll'1'tltO0d all men. The cast included the following people: William Edds as Mr. Ritter, Marian Norton as Mr . Ritter, Clarence Cole as Mr. Hossefross, Allan Chase as Mr. Spindler, Kathryn Tear as Nc! ie Fell, Ernest Shandle as Mr. Twiller, Laura Beavers as Miss McCrichett, Thoma. Guthrey as Teddy Spearingg, Mae Booth as Mrs. Sheppard, John Hemphill as Mr. Stage Managrer, and Doris Holland as Jennie, the maid.
