io, i LA DACLMA 55 THE EMPEROR'S CLOTHES PERETTA year is always welcomed at Citrus, and this year The Emperor's Clothes,', written by Ioseph Clokey, was especially entertaining. Walter Woods as the vain but lovable Emperor will long be remembered--especially when he appeared be- fore his subjects in his new clothes which were imag- inary, as he soon found out. The Chancellor, Henri Appy, deserved his punishment for letting the poor de- luded Emperor commit such a social error. Henri should sing g'Woe is Men! We hope those two rogues, Flou- Flou and Fripon, cleverly played by Fred Wilkins and j Albert Bernhardt, were punished severely for deceiving the Emperor. Betty Gipp as the Princess was our idea of just what a princess should be. Didn't she and Harold Woodhouse, the Prince, make an ideal couple? Toinette and Pierre, played by Beryl Wyatt and Rod McLeod, furnished us with some interesting court gossip. The Emperor's subjects and the members of his court consisted of the Ad- vanced Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club, the Childrens' Chorus was taken by the Freshman Girls' Glee Club. Much of the success of the operetta was due to Mr. Lewis, assisted by Rachel Smith in charge of stage direction, and William H. Potter, director of orchestral accompaniment. Mas. SAIITH if ,, BABS, SENIOR PLAY T is not often that a senior class can produce a cast that seemes made to order for a certain play, but such was the case this year. No one else would have been a better Babs than Helen Marie Grant, for she is the irrepressible Babs in person. Adelaide Hughes in the role of Leila, Babs' older sister, was a satisfyingly beautiful and snooty debutante. As for Leila's suitor, the Honorable Clinton Beresford-so fully did Willard Parrish enter into the part that he is still saying By love. Mary Kathryn Reed, as lane, Babs' chum, put one over on Eddie, the boy next door. When Avard Watkins smoked a cigar, the entire audience suffered with him. Edith Powell and Bruce Barker made a stunning couple as Mr. and Mrs. Archer, the parents of the mischievous Babs. Something should be done to Bud Bernhardt and Al Owen, who as Carter Brooks and Guy Grosvenor played such a mean trick on Babs. How- ever, Carter discovered just in time that he loved Babsg didn't you like the way he told her so? Coleta Drendel as Claire probably settled with Mr. Grosvenor. The servants. Hannah and Iames, played by Fred Wilkins and Elizabeth Boap, would be a social asset to any family. And-the stage sets! We challenge any class to produce such beautiful ones. The spiral staircase made by Willard Parrish and Bruce Barker brought much at- tention and favorable comment. This senior play, the best ever presented, was under the excellent direction of Mrs. Smith. fijly-rix
