The same students who personated the Sacred Characters so dear to every Catholic heart in the beautiful, soul-stirring Holy Week drama, The Up- per Room, forcing tears from the eyes of the audience as they witnessed the Play in awful silence, were able to convulse the lookers-on with fits of merry laughter in this excellent Comedy. Chief of these merrymakers were Marjorie Thorn as the finicky Mrs. Conwayg Paul Albers, the fat French cook who haf come to make ze formal complaint 3 and the hero of the drama, George Schwarzer, whose tragic appearance in the first act was changed by his persever- ance into true comedy for him, making it all come out in the end, just as you like it.

In both places it was received with enthusiastic applause. Everyone in the cast did full credit to the part assigned and merited well-earned praise. Penrod is Ll play full of laughs from start to finish, the interest centering especially around Penrod and his friends, Sam, Herman and Verman. These parts were excellent- ly portrayed by Raymond Helling '29, Raymond Pohlmeyer '29, William Wagner '28, and Adelbert.S0lhcid '28. SEVENTY-FIVE
