Along with Romeo's problem of adjusting himself to his altered condition in life, Larry was having trouble collecting his inheritance, which came to him on condition that he bring before the world some noted scientific discovery Larry was as much a scientist as Romeo was a ladies' mn There was also the problem of the furniture on which the llcNeill's owed some money as well as a smashed auto which Rex had borrowed All these problems piled together kept the llclleil home in an uproar for dns, after which Romeo, of aJJ. people, adjusted them all. This three act comedy by John Nash was well attended, and the class cleared a good profit. Eleanor Shippee Q 4+ -I -l- ar DR. AND IIB. JCBEPH KELFIIEN ARE THE SPONSOIB OF THIS PAGE.
