John Van Der Voort Student Director ,....,.....,..,.,.,. Anne Thomson The Chichesters, a wealthy English family, suddenly lose all their money due to a bank failure. ,lust at the crucial moment news arrives of the death of a relative in whose will is a clause providing money for the Chichesters if they take Peg and educate her. Peg, much to the Chichesters' disgust, turns out to be a pretty, lovable, ragged, temperamental Irish lass with a disreputable dog. Mrs. Chichester has a frantic time trying to make fiery, audacious Peg into a smooth-voiced sophisticate like Ethel. Peg dislikes the treatment given her by the Chichesters and would have left had it not have been for Alaricis friend, Jerry, with whom she is in love. Already in line for punishment, Peg prevents Ethel from running away with Brent, a married man, and in order to keep the truth from Mrs. Chichester Peg takes more blame upon herself. Through a series of events the Chichesters regain their previous position and Peg is happily married to Jerry. Ruth Beck had her hair dyed red and especially arranged for the pro- duction. The whole cast entered into the spirit of this tried and true comedy and the audience showed unusual appreciation.
