Emu l-lion Scuooi. I7 fa ALL-SCHOOL PRODUCTION ff E' ll By MAXINE DEARDORFF Few girls get as far as high school age without at least once setting as their highest ambition the role of an actress in a New York theater. hlost of them get over this desire in a short time, but the ones who still cling to the acting as their careers usually go to an actresses' boarding school. ln such a boarding school is laid the scene for Stage Door, the fourth all-school produc- tion presented at the Education Building on December 10 under the discriminating direc- tion of Miss Hazel Hatch. This highly dra- matic three-act play was written by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, and centers about M1's. Orcutt's Footlights Club, a club for girls on the stage. After proving extreme- ly successful on Broadway. this play moved across the country and was made into a 1110- tion picture where it gained nationwide popu- larity. Pay having thirty-two in the cast, Stage Door set a new high in the number of char- acters in any Enid High School production. In the complicated life of modern New York City the actresses struggle for the success of obtaining the lead in a well-known play, al- ways wondering what the fates have in store for them as their rewards, either the attain- ment of their coveted goals of fame in the theater, or dismal failure and unhappiness. VVithin a few short months out of the eighteen girls who live at the liootlights Club, Kaye, whose footsteps seem to have been dogged by disappointment and hard luck, commits suicide, and lovely self-centered Linda, after leaving her home and her de- ALL-SCHOOL PRODUCTION voted mother, lVlrs. Shaw, is accidentally kill- ed in an automobile accident. But all 'is not so gloomy, for Louise marries an old sweet- heart and settles down to small-town life, and glamorous Iean reaches a fame through the movies, but the success of determined Terry is the greatest of the group. Although offered a motion-Picture contract, she clings to her ideal of acting in the theater and is given the lead in the now-famous Keith Bur- gess play, The rest of the girls including sarcastic, clever Iudith, constantly followed by Lou Nlilhauser, dancing, carefree Pat, talented Russian Olga, independent, ambitious Ber- nice, Ann, the girl who thinks the world would be better without men, sweet Southern Bobby, eternally in love with Texan Sam Hastings, socialite Kendall, and bored, beau- tiful Nladeline, are forced to content them- selves with bit parts. Unsatisfied Big and Little Nlary add to the complicated situation by contributing their humorous comments. Nlattie, the capable scolding colored maid, completely dominates houseman Frank, her shiftless, but well-meaning husband. Terry's fContinm'd on page 59j
