To Tell the Truth About It-- Telling Nothing But The Truthi' for twenty-four hours proved to be almost too much for Bob Bennett when we presented our senior play to an enthusiastic audience the evening of December 10. Bob Edwards in the leading role of the broker who bet his three associates ten thousand dollars that he could tell Nothing But The Truth for twenty-four hours car- ried the comedy through scene after scene. At the same time he became more and more involved until he almost ruined the Iinancial standing of that great man of Wall Street, E. M. Ralston CHenry Manthob, as well as the love affair between Gwen Ralston fBar- bara Auldl and himself. Dick Donnelly CDick Fritz? and Clar- ence Van Dusen CRoss McCreadyJ, the man whom no one liked but everybody endured , were ably portrayed as the other two busi- ness partners. Dick Ogline gave a vivid and amusing performance of Bishop Doran, an innocent looking soul who wanted to make lots of money quickly and who managed to do just that. Elaine Pettibon deftly handled the part of Mrs. E. M. Ralston, Long Island's leading social climber who was aghast at the unus- ual behavior of Mr. Bennett. Jinny Saifell proved her versatility in the role of Ethel Clark, a young girl de- siring flattery but unable to receive much cooperation from Mr. Bennett. Floetta Schultz as Mable Jackson and Maxine Crum as Sable Jackson, two chorus girls, did their bit to cause considerable fric- tion between Mr. and Mrs. Ralston. Janice Gaul took the part of the maid, Martha, while both she and Roger Stanley acted as understudies. 'This three-act comedy written by James Montgomery was expertly directed by Miss Virginia Geddert, our new dramatics in- structor. At the time of our presentation Nothing But The Truth was a currently popular movie, starring Bob Hope and Paul- ette Goddard. 24
