Elnllp Elests uf ZBrimmer IN CE the reporter of the Class Play was behind the scenes, and only the roars of laughter from the audience signified that all was going successfully, it is with thanks to Brimmerwriles that she presents the write-up! The program comprised a series of four sketches and one special dance number. First came The Daily Doesn't, in which M. Hawes portrayed admirablyzthe leisurely physical culture director, who, while enjoying breakfast in bed, gave his radio audience a series of strenuous setting-up exer- cises. B. Holloway, as his wife, put a speedy end to his luxurious laziness at the close of the act. Following this, E. Baker and C. Draper, two natty Jack Tars, did a Sailor's Hornpipe. Then came Etiquette, a sketch laid in Atlantic City, where C. White, an attractive but business-like book- agent, inveigled M. Kingsley, the good-looking masculine victim, into buying her volume of social suggestions. Next in order came an original sketch, HG. W. Looks and Listens, composed largely by E. Baker and C. Draper. L. Morse, from her exalted position on a thoroughbred gym horse, portrayed the Statue of Washington in the Public Gardens, and followed with interest the amusing news revealed about the teachers and girls at Brimmer. Green Chartreusef, a modern mystery thriller, brought the program to a most exciting close. H. Idell, E. Kennedy, and I. Neer took their parts in professional manner, but the off-stage actors who played thunder, lightning, rain, and the other incidentals, likewise deserve credit. Viewing the performance impersonally, from the time 1928's non-transparent curtains were parted-for the first time in history I-on the opening scene, till they were drawn noiselessly together at the conclusion of the performance, the production was a success because of three vital factors: long and careful preparation, good management, and a spirit of cooperation on the part of the class. To the efficient direction of S. Quinn and B. Floyd great praise is due, likewise, commendation should be made of the thorough work of B. White,l-and T. Dodge, too, says the Editorl, stage managers, who helped to make possible so finished and charming a presentation -we really heard it called that! '29 hereby pats herself on the back, and challenges '30 and all succeeding generations to keep up the tradition of a First Class play! Page For ly-seven
