Jean Zwiehel, Edmund Elkjer The action was centered around the actions of 27 the Smith family. Pa Smith, publisher of the Midville Daily Chronicle, can he talked into almost anything by the members of his family. Ma is the real ruler of the family of four children. Sally the oldest is interested only in art and Dick, :1 commercial artist. Tony, at high school senior, is the schools champion football player. Buddie, the twelve-year-old brother, is determined to be- come a prize-fighter and his sister, Betty, is very willing to help him. In addition to the children there was Aunt Bella, Maxis sister, who was doing her best to nab Professor Slattery, a very absent-minded professor. The trouble was centered around Tony and the efforts of various colleges to enroll him as a stu- dent. They sent Julie Weston and Stewart Bran- don t0 Midvi'le to talk Tony out of his promise. Tony had promised to go to the college choice 0L his girl, Barbara Wetherby. -At the end of the play the matter was de- cided in a very satisfactory way.
