 THE BIG FRONT nThe Big Front , a three act comedy, was give: by the senior class, November 24, 1937 at the grange hall under the direction of Mrs. Watson. Music was furnished by an orchestra under the direction of Mr. Harold C. Jobo and the excel- lent scenery was prepared by Rev Edward J.W. Burs tom Dr. John Smith, a character played unusually well by Lloyd Fleming, was a highly capable but very unprofessional young doctor. In consequence he did not en,Joy the practice his skill warbante Among his few loyal patients there was Mrs. Tor- gen sen (Luella Cole), who was always coming down with something . Mary Grant played the part of the gushing club woman, Mrs. James Oliver Morgan, who tried and succeeded in getting Dr. Smith to speak at different conventions. The love interest came when Del Roy, a breezy newspaperman (lyle Cole), asked Katherine, Dr. Smith's capable aid attractive young nurse (Mary Kay Dodds) to marry him. She refused DelRoy as she was in love with Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith in turn is in love with Flo Kingman, a social butterfly (Georgiana Best), who had a disapproving mother, Mrs. Kingman (June Gardner). Mrs Kingman thought Abner Patterson, collection sgent (Leonard Grey) was the suitor for Flo. In all this confusion, with Dr. Smith's de- creasing practice and his undimini shed debt to his timid bank clerk father (Alvin Shippoe), Mo imer J. Mortimer (Fred Best), walked in. He was a personality specialist and taught Dr. Smith to put on a big front . Dr. Smith following his advice increased his practice so that he had to have another nurse (Dorothy Fleming). In the end Katherino became engagGd to Dr. Smith, and DolRoy to Flo Kingman. Evoryone was happy except Dr. Smith's father who had failed to win recognition or promotion be- cause he didn't learn how to put on a big front.
