DRAMATICS CLUB In the Spotlight Each year, the Dramatics Club endeavors to produce a play which will please the audience and will offer adequate dramatic experience to those who take part in it. Many former mem- bers of the Club have become well-known on the college, amateur, and professional stage. As the nineteenth annual production of the Dramatics Club, Messrs. Russo, Marnell, and Callanan presented The Bishop Misbehavesu, a comedy in three acts by Frederick jackson. The club was aided by a number of excellent actresses from Girls' Latin School. The play for 1941 concerned a Bishop and his sister, both of whom have a secret yearning for mystery. On a rainy night, they stop at a public house to telephone. When they get no service, they investigate, and find a man, his Page Thirzy wife, and the bar-keeper bound and gagged in a back room. They release the victims and learn that a robbery has been committed. The Bishop discovers the swag while snooping about. He exchanges the swag for his visiting card, and then goes home to await a visit from the thieves. The thieves arrive, and they search the house, but they cannot find the jewels, which the Bishop has cleverly hidden. The Bishop deduces that the criminals are novices, and by questioning one of them, learns the reason for the robbery: Mr. Waller had cheated them out of some money. They couldn't regain it by legal methods, therefore, they devised this hold- up. The Bishop decides to right all the wrong, and finally settles everything. S'nuff
