MUSICAL COMEDY This year, because of war-time difficulties, our annual musical comedy had to be presented a month later than usual—on December 14 and 15. The play chosen to be presented was entitled Face the Music, a hilarious two-act comedy centered around Major Penn and his adopted son, Robert. Major Penn, a multi-millionaire, had set himself to the task of finding a suitable wife for his heir, Robert. Many girls were put before the young man, but those who presented the most difficulty were Jack and Jill, the O’Zilch twins. Of course, many relatives interfered, wishing a share in their uncle’s fortune, and a burglar also entered the scene and stole the family jewels. (And the blame was put upon young Robert). The result was a delightfully humorous performance. The leads were played by the following: Lena Ruggerio, Dorothy Yahres, Glenn Munch, John Entstrasser, Anthony Miraval, Edwin Rusch, Alfred Norman, and Jane Kaczmarek. There were also numerous people in the various choruses. Veering a little from the procedure of other years, the audience cast votes for the most popular senior boy as well as girl. The winners were Joseph Lynch and Inge Mieth.
