6 BALLET INSTRUCTOR KOLENKHOV gives his opinion of Essie and her dancing, She stinks! Mitchell High School's Talisman Theatre's third pro- duction of the year was You Can't Take it With You, a comedy by Hart and Kauman. Set in New York, the play is the story of a carey free family who live for the sheer joy of living. One of the family members, Penny, writes plays because a typewriter was accidentally delivered to her house eight years before, while another, lVlr. DiPenna, came to deliver some milk and stayed for eight years. Paul makes firecrackers, and Essie does ballet in the dining room accompanied by Bach played on a Xylophone by Ed. The play derives its conflicts when Alice, the baby of the family, decides to marry Tony Kirby. Tony's father is a very rich Wall Street tycoon who does not approve of the romance because of the carefree lives led by Alice's family. The play ends with all in the story professing the philosophy, You can't take it with you - money, that is: ll 1 T You Can t Take it with You ls Last Production of Year SYCAIVIORE FAMILY AND friends gather to express the philosophy - You can't take it with you! ffmmiw r -f -
