As Choir, Orchestra Unite for Gala Show Both cast and audience enjoyed the presentation of Bells are Ringing by Manual ' s Music Depart- ment. Its annual musical production was November 20 and 21. The show first appeared on Broadway in 1957, starring Judy Holliday and Sidney Chap- ling, and was later made into a movie. The plot is centered around Susanswerphone, a telephone answering service owned and operated by Sue (Jean Ruoff) and Ella (Terri Glass) Peter- son. Ella, who constantly becomes involved in other persons ' lives, falls in love with customer Jeff Moss (Bruce Haddix) , a writer whom she has never met. Jeff experiences trouble in his attempt to write a play, and Ella is determined to help him. Meanwhile, Sue falls in love with Sandor (Gaylen Fox) , who is the dapper president of Titanic Re- cords. This company is a front for his book-making business with an ingenious code for horse betting which is called through the answering service. Later, Ella meets Jeff and gets him to start his play. The police discover trouble of some kind and close in. As they do, a slip is made in an order and bookies become unhappy with the head of Ti- tanic Records. Sandor is later revealed, and all ends well between Jeff and Ella. Several weeks of practice climaxed into another successful production of the Music Department. Bruce Haddix plays Jeff Moss, an aspiring writer, who meets Ella as a result of her nosiness. Later they fall in love. The entire cast of Bells Are Ringing pours onto the stage for the finale number of I Met A Girl. The show involved a variety of singing, dancing, and acting and this made a colorful picture. II
