A READY-MADE FAMILY The Senior play,“A Ready-Made Family,” was presented Thursday and Friday, Octo- ber 19 and 20. The play was a farce in three acts. Carmelita Andrews played the part of Agnes Martin, a widow, who met, while vacationing, Henry Turner, a widower, and an old sweetheart, played by Marvin Willey. They became engaged. Neither tells the other of the children at home, three in one household and two in the other. The young- sters, having heard of the big surprise, planned to upset the matrimonial apple-cart by acting their worst before their prospec- tive step-parents. One had (its; another talked baby talk; a third played the role of a holy terror. Sammie became a klepto- maniac ; and Doris, having had an operation, harped on that. After two hours of compli- cations and final settlements, Agnes and Henry emerged with victories. The “Kids” accepted their new parents.
