ul-ley. what goes on here! MPINK MAGIC Presented by Senior Class CONFUSION STIMULATES LIGHT THEME By Florence Mcllvaine fPost-Star, April 3, 195411 'iAn entertaining performance of the three-act comedy. c'Pinl.' Magic, was given lay the Glens Falls High School Senior Class last night in the school auditorium under the direction of George Burns Smith, assisted by John Van Der Voort. A large audience attended. Wllhe play itself was not as substantial as some offerings of the school dramatics department in recent years. but the cast was talented and competent . . . the play was light-hearted variation on the Cinderella theme. with some confusion as to the identity of Prince Charming adding a new twist. 'iloan 0'C0nnor was appealing in the leading role of Ursula HLamlnie Prowder. who emerges from her chrysalis at the end of the third act to discover that she is uperfeetly normal and isn't going to grow up to be an eccentric genius. William Prescott was likable as Wally Grant. who discovers Lambie's true Charm and worth. Martha Dorlon and Mary Lou Heron were well cast as Lamhie's roommates at the Casa Maximilian, where they are members of a painting group chaperoned by the youthful and attractive Mrs. Candee. a part well played lay Joann Taft. Dale Granger was excellent as Kimball Colby. whom Lamhie mistakes as her first love. Are we going to have a chance to meet all those wonderful people in the American Colony? w -'lffenxusfas sf 1 x' .1 mn. 1 1 min
