It was presented May 7 in the South High Auditorium by a splendid cast of fifteen actors directed by Miss West and Miss Parkhurst. Supporting the cast was a large staff of hard-working students. The action takes place in the fashionable home of the Lorraine family. Laura Lorraine, Clda Fairchildl, the typical society matron, dominates her timid husband, Sam, fWalter Nowakowskil, much to the annoyance of Wayne Lorraine, tBernard Iohnsonl, Sam's younger brother. When news arrives that Susie Smith, tBetty Nelsonl, the daughter of a friend of Sam's is coming from Texas to pay a visit, Laura is hysterical, but Wayne sees a golden opportunity in Susie's visit and enlists her aid in making a man out of Sam. Susie descends upon the Lorraine household clad in a Western outfit. She has a choice collection of Western lingo, and is accompanied by her colored maid, Armistice, tLorraine Maghielsel, and her pet rattlesnake, Gloomy.

Susie finds many ways to shock Laura and her snobbish friends, Constance Pawle, lHelen Bylsmal, and Bunny Slings- bee, lTony Smithl. To make the situation more complicated, Iud Iones, lHugh Hoebekel, an artist, comes to the Lorraine home begging Wayne to help him out of a predicament. Iud has engaged two models to pose for him, Rita Pandro, fIulie Vander Veenl, and Sadie Applebaum, CViola Dykemal. He falls violently in love with Iane Smith, fIeanne Stottl, they be- come engaged, and Iud takes his fiancee to his studio where she sees the two models, thinks they are friends of his, and walks out on him. To still further complicate matters, the two enraged models, Iane, and her Aunt, CMary Iean Forbesj, arrive at the Lorraines', and poor Iud is in fear of his life. ln the meantime, Lola Lorraine, fMartha Milanl, Laura's pretty sister, has fallen in love with Cupie Clooney, fOtto Worpell, whom Laura has mistaken for the butler and set to work under the direction of Ioyce Farrow, fEileen Longcorel. Everything ends happily, with Susie and Wayne, Iane and Iud, Lola and Cupie finding themselves on the verge of matrimony, and Sam in complete control of Laura. T Smith H Bylsma, V. Dykema, W.
