THE ECHO 19 Kelly, Michael’s mother, claims the pearls. Mrs. Lyman, sister to Mrs. Ben- ton, solves the problem when she brings in Mrs. Benton’s pearls from the gar- den where they fell. Mary’s pearls are returned, and Michael is given a job by Mr. Benton. Mr. and Mrs. Benton, who are hostesses to some guests, were ably por- trayed by Payson Jones and Betty Potts. Madeline Hogan played the part of Mrs. Lyman, Mrs. Benton’s sister, very well. The parts of Mr. James Talbot and his nervous daughter Geraldine, who are the Bentons’ guests, were performed by Mason Colby and Marie Mack. Annella Card enters as Virginia Carter, a neighbor’s young daughter, who is very much attached to her play dog. Rib- bon. Mary Murphy, a new maid at the Benton House, was played skillfully by Mary Emmett. Leo Smith portrayed the comical role of Michael Kelly, Mary’s lover. Mrs. Patrick Kelly, an old Irish woman, mother of Michael, was well played by Dorothy Kierstead. The play was coached by Miss Marcia Bartlett of the faculty. The school orchestra with Richard Croft as soloist played several numbers between the acts. After the second act guitar selections by Edrie MacPherson and Barbara Barton were enjoyed. Arlene Cote gave a clever tap dance, and delightful accordion selections were contributed by Marjorie Smart. Betty Potts’ exhibition of baton twirling was well received and enjoyed by all. A novelty dance by Stewart McKay, Donald McKay, Allan Jones, John Card, George Hagerty, and Robert Townsend as Minski cast-offs was the concluding number which proved very humorous.

Having practised for several months the play- ers presented the play in very good form. The school orchestra, under the direction of Miss Margaret Murphy, opened the entertainment. The first act was then presented. This play proved very entertaining and had an interesting plot. Mrs. Benton, a very nervous hostess, lost her pearls, and suspected her new maid, Mary, and Mary’s lover, Michael, of stealing them, Michael had given Mary a string of pearls as an engagement present, and Mary, thinking Michael stole them, hid them in a vase of flowers.
