EIL-LU I Iggy, il n TROUBLESOME WIVES The Junior classes of '31 and '32 may well boast of presenting as a premiere at Torrance High Troublesome Wives, a comedy in three acts, written by Ernest Denny. The scenes of the play were laid at Coronado Beach, Calif., and on the cabin of a small pleasure cruiser. The action is concerned with the marital troubles of two young couples who have but recently been married. Two kidnapings enlivened the play, and the stellar parts caused much favorable comment by their unusually good acting. The character parts furnished much amusement. The play was presented before almost a record crowd for Torrance, for practically the entire house was sold out.

The Thirteenth Chair, a three-act mystery drama, was pre- sented by this class as their senior play. They have the distinction of presenting the first murder mystery in this school. The story of the Thirteenth Chair is based on a murder, and the action centers about a spiritual seance, which is held to discover the guilty party. The play was replete with knives, detectives, shudders, shrieks, and all the rest of the paraphernalia necessary for a blood-curdling evening's entertainment. To Miss Lingenfelter goes the credit for selecting and developing a remarkable cast. Ethel Slye, as the medium, and John Young, as the detective, were excellent. Rudy Huber was the low, though justifiable, villain who done the dirty deedf' CAST OF CHARACTERS Rosalie La Grange ------- ----- E THEL SLYE Helen O'Neil ------------- MARY HINMAN Mr. Crosby - - - RALPH DAUGHERTY Will Crosby - ---- GEORGE KYLE Edward Wales - - - - STANLEY CREIGHTON Mary Eastwood - - - DOROTHY HANSON Brandish Trent - ----- BILL BARNES Helen Trent - - - DOROTHY WINCHESTER Howard Standish - ---- PAUL WELSCH Grace Standish - - ---- LOINIA KIZER Phillip Mason - - - RUDOLPH HUBER Elizabeth Erskine - - - - ETHEL WARD Pollock ---- ----- - - PARKE MONTAGUE Sergeant Dunn ------------- PAUL LEssING STAGE CREW LARRY STEVENSON, Managerf ROBERT NOURSE, Electricizzng CLYDE BODLEY, HARTLEY COOKE.
