'ei Q 0....i.... I I lil ' ROW l: ANDERSON, IANIS WOLD, GRACE HOFFMAN, RUTH VAN KIRK, ROWE. ROW 2: PRINDELL, SHERMAN, MCGARRY. CLASS PLAY CAST Class Play Run, Hero, Run! a gay comedy in three acts, was presented by the senior class in the Benson Auditorium on the evening of December 7th before a large and appreciative audience. Miss Mary Ellen Minis, as lane Milburn, played the part of an attractive young secretary, business-like and alert, which qualities she somehow was able to combine with a certain wistful and romantic air. Ruth Van Kirk, in the role of Thelma Kendall, wife of Cornelius, played her part to perfection. Thelma Kendall is attractive, extremely talkative, and ab- sorbed in her own point of view, entirely lacking a sense of humor. Grace Hoffman, playing Ena Ray, Mrs. Kendall's sister, was second to none in acting the part of a very pretty young woman, a person with an appealing manner, a woman sure to produce instant jealousy on the part of other women. She speaks with great sweetness and a slight drawl. Ianice Wold portrayed the part of Finch, a nursery governess to the Kendall twins. Finch is always trying to speak, but is continually forestalled by Mrs. Kendall. Miss Wold's pantomime was most effective. Eugene Anderson characterized Billy Winters, a very young real estate sales- man With an extremely high opinion of his own ability-a very wolfish Char- acter. Donald Prindle, leading man, played Ernest Blakely, a bookkeeper Whose interest in life is chess. He was in love with lane, but was somewhat forgetful of it at times. Roland Sherman, depicting Mr. Merritt, was a scream. Merritt was a very precise and exact person in speech and manner-sometimes using words so long that it would take several breaths to complete them.
