CASSILIS ENGAGEMENT With a splendid supporting cast, the modern comedy drama, The Cassilis Engagement, was staged by the drama classes March 22. The play was Written by St. John Hankin and proved fitting entertainment for a large group of theatre-goers. J. Frederick Johnson directed the play, under the supervision of Robert Douglas Hume. Helen De Ruchie did well in the leading role of Adelaide Cassilis, a mother Whose affection for her son prompts her to break, in a subtle and clever fashion, an impossible engagement with a girl of contrasting tastes and desires. Johnson was seen as Geoffrey Cassilis, in addi- tion to directing the Hankin comedy. A newcomer, Lucille Stockwell of Compton, did well in the diffi- cult role of the aristocratic Countess of Remenham.

Robert Douglas Hume, who played the diflicult part of David Bliss, the eccentric father of Sorel and Simon. His amus- ing costumes and actions were uproariously funny. www 'N-mf! Above is a comic shot of the Hay Fever production. Pictured are: Alberta Guptill, Violet Graves, .Do-Be Melcon. J. Frederick Johnson, R. D. Hume. Willard Lane, Anna May Henning. and Geraldine HAY FEVER Hale. Noel CoWard's most sophisticated and hilarious comedy Was presented by the college drama depart- ment March 9. Robert Douglas Hume directed the play. Although this unusual play Was considered as a possibility for dramatization for some time, a suitable lead could not be found. With the return to school of Violet d'Egilbert Graves, a former stu- dent, problems were smoothed over and the play Went into production. In her role as the eccentric Judith Bliss, Nlrs. Graves made the farce something to be remembered. The plot was centered around the complexities of a Week-end at the home of the Blisses, a family of artistic inclinations, Each member of the family invites a guest and all sorts of difficulties come up. When a refined diplomat, a fiighty young girl, a butter and egg man, and another screwball meet up with the Blisses, there is little left for the imag- ination. Comedy turns into true farce when these people get together. A large house acclaimed the play one of the best presented by a Chico State drama department in many years. The production staff came in for a share of the plaudits through the fine lighting, makeup, and stage settings. Virgil Smith acted as technical direc- tor and stage manager: Alberta Ciuptill, production manager: Barbara Fosgate and Elizabeth Kroesing, property managers, and Jeanne Gallatin, make-up manager.
