THE ECHO 19 5 0 FRONT ROW: Paul Stokingcr, Nancy Chapman. Jean Stevenson, Betty Wallster, Joan Dowrey. Richard Balch. BACK ROW: Sylvia Day, Paul Roberts. Miss Elna Knutson. Advisor: Phyllis Putt. Barbara Dana. Grace Johnston, Miss Grace McCarthy. Advisor: Richard McCormick Senior 2 )j ram a Leave It To Mother,” a comedy in three acts about family life, written by Joyce Andrews, was presented by the Senior Class at Sumner High School auditorium Friday evening. December 16, at 8:00 P. M. The action took place in the home of Mrs. Louise Prescott, a widow, who has a very interesting family. Mrs. Prescott, played by Jean Stevenson, is refined and sincere, a gentlewoman, with a decidedly refresh- ing personality. She is the typical old-fashioned mother who lives only for her family. Her point of view is that of a bygone age, and she is not at all sympathetic to modern ways and customs. Her son. Stanley, played by Richard Balch. is an ingratiating, well-poised young man with a self-confident manner which wins him many friends. He has a great time waiting for something to turn up. There are two daughters. Coral and Dolly, played by Nancy Chap- man and Betty Wallster respectively. Coral is decid- edly modern both in speech and appearance, and although at times inclined to be a trifle thoughtless, she is never rude or obnoxious. Dolly, the youngest of the family, is mischievous and loves to keep things going. The characters who help to develop the plot are Etta Ford, the maid, played by Barbara Dana: Edna James, portrayed by Grace Johnston; Lucius Fowler, an irritable old man capably enacted by Paul Roberts: Easton Bowers, played by Paul Stokinger; and Mrs. Stanley Prescott (Roberta), a part ably taken by Joan Dowrey. Mrs. Prescott is trying to manage a hardware store and mother her family at the same time. Coral’s com- ing home from school with an infatuation for an English nobleman, Lord Cecil Bunyon. played by Paul Roberts; Stanley’s arrival home with a newly acquired wife: Roberta; and the untimely visit of her sister-in-law, Madge Lawton, portrayed by Phyllis Putt, who has just lost her husband, compli- cates matters. How Mrs. Prescott works these prob- lems out is an interesting and entertaining play. Sylvia Day did a magnificent job as stage manager and to her is due much credit for the success of the performance. The play was directed by the Senior Class advisors, Miss Grace McCarthy and Miss Elna Knutson. [ 16 ]
