RED AND BLACK Senior Play A tense moment of silence and then a burst of applause as the last curtain closed in the gym One of the biggest events of the school year had been a tremendous success. It was the Senior class play, The New Poor, a farce- comedy in three acts, written by our well-known American author, Cosmo Hamilton, and directed by our ever-efficient Miss Gabriel. Concerning the per- formance the Post Star comments: A smooth performance, attractive stage settings and capable acting were keenly appreciated by an audience of more than five hundred people. There is always plenty of excitement in an American family at the possi- bility of coming in contact with titled nobility. This was cleverly enacted in the play, which portrayed a family suddenly bereft of its stai of servants. The situation was solved by the appearance of four pseudo Russian nobles who attempted to fulfill the requirements. The cast was as follows: John Robinson as the Grand Duke, Charles Ringwood as Count Ivan, Barkley Owen as Prince Vladimir, Shirley Cowlbeck as Princess Irina, Bessie Goldstein as Mrs. Wellby, Margaret Kilpatrick as the daughter Alice, Grace Foley as the daughter Constance, Marjorie Bates as the daughter Betty, Eileen Snyder as Mary Maudsley, John Sidur as Mr. Gutteridge, and Vernon Davis as Kirk O'Farrell. The cast realizes that the success of the performance was largely due to the splendid cooperation of the following committees: Business Managers- William Feigenbaum, Bertha Lyden, House Manager-Helen Cohen, Stage Manager-Harold Yanklowitz, Properties-Dorothy Heming, Lillian Monroe, Robert Crawford, Costumes-Betty Davis, Helen Smith, Lighting-Donald Fisk, Vera Chase, Scenery-Arts and Crafts Department, Walter Robinson, Director, Tickets-Freddy Isaac, Posters-Gladys Westbrook, Marjorie Stew- art, Publicity-Florence Davis, Ushers-Jane Magram, Helen Cohen, Virginia Abolin, Gladys Westbrook, Lucy Champaign, Eleanor Whitcomb. Our Senior class takes pride in leaving to the future actors and actresses a new piece of scenery which was made in our very own school and financially supported by the Junior class, Boys Hi-Y, Junior High School, and funds from the Senior class treasury.
