May. 8:00 o'clock- Curtain! I Action! l Here, in a nutshell, is the nucleus of the 1 -, tion of Mr. Fran- play. Linda, the daughter of a socially pretentious mother, is set to marry Ernest, the mama's boy of a supposedly wealthy mother. Linda's ex- fiance, a reporter, turns up to break the match as one hilarious incident after another unfolds. The wealthy aunt of the family-they've not seen her for many years-turns up, is mistaken for the new maid, and is put to work. A crook, posing as a society reporter, enters the house with his niece, he is after some valuable letters known to him to be concealed behind a family painting. The reporter disguises himself as the Aunt from Boston, disrupts the plans for the wedding, and partially exposes some of the phony guests. Linda realizes she really loves the reporter. Together they dispose of her ex- fiance's mother and enable Ernest to marry the niece of the crook. The reformed crook makes a match with the wealthy aunt, his former sweetheart. This performance was repeated on the afternoon of Sunday, December 11, and again was enthusiastically received by the audi- ence. t -zo-

STRICTLY FORMAL With the Senior Dance only eleven days away, Jane and Sally still have no dates-and George and Jim haven't said a word. Then Mar- cia, who is Sally's house guest, arrives from New York City and snares one man after another with the old go-getteml' tactics. All, that is, except Elroy who is constantly practicing the shot-put and isnlt nearly as dumb as he seems. Finally reinforcements arrive for the girls in the form of Cindy. She is a movie fan and solves all prob- lems on the basis of how Ginger Rogers landed Fred Astaire. She also has to play her horn in order to think, which produces some wierd sounds in the course of the play. When George and Marcia return from the show, Cindy has Jane stretched out on the sofa and powdered a deathly white. George is quite concerned until Marcia suggests that Jane has the mumps and then he scrams. Cindy's next venture runs into a real case of mumps, and in the course of helping Elroy put the shot, it lands in the prize peony bed. What was a worry over dates ends in a battle of Dads and peonies, shot- puts, mumps, movies, and heart-warming laugh- ter. Other players are: Agnes, the maid, Andrew Cutler, his wife, Nettieg Mr. Ahern, a neighbor, Rose, who gets the mumps, Josie, and Mrs.Tiltong and Mar- ilyn chases Elroy. X 'S An Air Forceman, O G Lt. Bob Cunning- ham, arrives to fur- nish the lacking date.
