s M ENIORS DISPLAY ENTAL DEF CIENCIES IN “THE CURIOUS SAVAGE” A mental institute provided the off-beat environment for the senior play, The Curious Savage . The play dramatized a family where the children committed their step- mother to a mental institute because she would not hand over control of the immense Savage estate. The exciting action, com- bined with the character representation of the inmates at the institute, made this one of the most unusual plays ever presented. The cast was composed of Henry Burruss, Nancy Davis, Becky Elliott as Lilly Belle, Henry Ferry as Dr. Emment, Theresa Hilton as Miss Willie, Ed Kirk as Samuel, Alice Guerrant as Mrs. Ethel Savage, Jeff O ' Dell as Titus, Dottie Turner as Faerie Mae, Richard Taylor as Jeff, and Martha Wachs- muth. Henry Burruss displays the agility of Hannibal while Nancy Davis, as Florence, gives him none of her attention. Actions from the unspeakable Mrs. Paddy, played by Martha Wachsmuth, gain glances from members of the cast. She bit me ! Of course it hurts! The money was in that stupid teddy bear! 15
