HARLEQUIN PLAY-Under the direction of Miss Brong and Miss Baum- gartner, the first Harlequin Play, The Maker of Dreams , a delightful fantasy by Oliphant Down, was presented in 1925. Quality Street , a four act play by Sir Iames Barrie, was given as the second Harlequin Play in 1926. A few years later Miss Margaret Lehman, later Mrs. Richard Beck, was elected as English instructor and dramatic coach. Her long and successful career terminated in 1940 when she accompanied her husband to Boston. She was responsible for many of the present day policies of the club which include the point system, the inner circle, and the double cast system. This year the club presented Mystery at Greenfingers , a farce in three acts, by I. B. Priestly. The play was given on December 12 and 15, under the direction of Miss Ruth Snyder, English instructor. Mystery at Greenfingersv is a gay come :ly which centers around the disap- pearance of an elderly guest, Miss Tracy, who loves mysteries and likes to poke about in other people's business. Mr. Crowther, an ex-Scotland yard officer, plays the role of the self-important policeman who literally knows it all. Young and pretty Helen Tennent is the games and social hostess at the hotel. With the aid of Fred Poole, the cocktail barman, she is carrying on an unlawful business of selling narcotics. The sharp hotel secretary, Edna Sandars, in helping to solve the mystery wins the admiration of Keith Heley, assistant hotel manager. Mrs. Rose Heaton, stall' manageress at the hotel, and Arnold Iordon, chef, play the roles of the typical husband and wife who have had an argument. Sally Phillips, sharp witted and cynical, and Clara Packer, a simple good- hearted creature, play the roles of the hotel maids. The cast for Mystery at Greenfingersn is as follows: Miss Tracy, Ruth Lippincott and Alice lean Poole, Robert Crowther, Leroy Shutt, Edna Sandars, Dorothy Selner and Dorothy Ference, Keith Henley, Edgar Hayman, Sally Phillips, Carolyn Le Worthy and Ianice Keller, Clara Packer, lean Titus, Arnold Iordan, Enoch Moore, Rose Heaton, Virginia Hendricks and Susan Butler, Fred Poole, Allen Potter, Helen Tennant, Kathryn Hobensack and Edna Larzelere. 25
