J. vb And Never Been Kissed Ably directed by Nliss Nlerlo, this delightful comedy about teenage Flory Patterson proved to be a terrific success. Flory is nearly sweet sixteen and has never been kissed-but not for lack of trying. Through a series of hilarious schemes Flory devotes all her energy to making herself vivacious and dev- astatinglv attractive. The play highlighted some wildly humorous scenes in drawing parallels between the flap- pcru of the ,:20's and todavs bobby soxer. Lewellen, who plays Flory, was ably assist- ed by D. Hembisz as her matter-of-fact sister, B. Tuella as her understanding mother, and a procession of others: D. Peitrowicz as the con- temptuous Charles, XY. Lockwood as the dis- tant Douglas, E. Pastula as the divine Philip, Y. Preli as Flory's best friend, R. Greene as the studious Gilmore, C. Huha as the laughable Mr. Peabodv, S. Alexander as Mavyls best friend, Pickering as the dominecring Christine, and B. Lorence as the agreeable Certrude. li, Hare you got u niutzrh, big boy? . ' A - I Iory, if he kissws you . . .' s
