Ar the End of the Rainbow When The Spindletop account books were looked over, it became evident that there was a deficiency of funds. Some one suggested getting up a play to help finance the Annual. Early in February Miss Richter, Mr. Neighbors and Mr. Lohr, put their heads to work and the following cast began on At the End of the Rainbow. Robert Preston, a lawyer .................... Mr. Earl Gough Douglas Brown, a foot ball player ..... Malcolm McCorquodale Dick Preston, the groom .........,........... Gordon Parker Stanley Palmer, Hawkins, the butler ....... Stanford Turner Ted Whitney, captain of the 'varsity ........ Lorrence Shattuck jack Austin, Preston's secretary ........ ....... G ill Johnston Marion Dayton, a ward of Preston. .. .... Ruth Montgomery Nellie Preston, the bride ............... ........ E lla Lowrey Louise Ross, known as Miss Grayson ......... Pauline Noble Phyllis Lane, a foot ball enthusiast .............. Lula Turner Kathleen Knox, chairman of the Rushing Committee ...... Gladys Rudd The Imp, a Freshman ................. Thelma McCorquodale Emily Elliott, with a conscience .................. Lela Colley jane, a maid with a taste for literature ........... Floy Taylor Mrs. Brown, step mother of Douglas Brown ..... Annie McNeel Poly Price, of the Theta Phi ....,........... Minnie Williford Elsa Ernest, of the Theta Phi ................. Lydia Maschek Marjorie Arnold, of the Theta Phi .... ...... S ara Willis Marie Swift, of the Theta Phi .................. Mary Hinson Mollie Bruce, of the Theta Phi ................... Mary Myers The scenes of the play are located in a college town. The students are practicing for a foot ball game with a rival col- lege team and much interest in the outcome is shown. It de- velops that Douglas Brown, a foot ball expert from another col- lege, is in town on business connected with his father's estate, Page 5 and to distract attention, enters this college. Phyllis Lane in- duces him to play with the team at the request of the captain, a love romance being created thereby. Robert Preston, a lawyer, secretly loves Marion Dayton, his ward, and she reciprocates. He trusts the combination of his safe to her and tells her of a packet of important papers lying therein. Louise Ross and her mother, Mrs. Brown, step mother to Douglas Brown, learn that a second will disinherit- ing them has been found and is among the papers in Preston's safe. They plot to obtain possession of the document at a mask ball given by Marion. Louise wears a gown identical with that of Marion's, deceives Preston, learns from him the combination of the safe, obtains the papers by the aid of jack Austin, un- aware of the fact that the original packet has been removed by Preston and other documents substituted. The Imp, a g'rl student, sees and recognizes her. Preston enters and recognizes jack, who is assisting Louise in the belief that she is Mariongand convinced that jack med- itates robbery, upraids him. Marion enters and comprehend- ing the situation as she fancies, she shields jack by assuming the guilt. Her innocence is finally established bv the Imp, who exposes Louise. Meanwhile Douglas wins the game for the team and realizes that he loves Phyllis, but when he learns that she has trifled him, he becomes cool. This, however, passes away and happiness follows. When Marion's self-sacrificing effort to save jack is brought to Preston's attention through the exposure of Louise's duplicity, he discovers that he loves her and their dream of the pot of gold 'lat the end of the rainbow is happily realized. Only five weeks of earnest work and hard practicing under the generous guidance of the instructors, elapsed when the play was given on 'Friday night, March l6. It was a great success and the accounts were balanced.
