Cf)e eml)et0 of Ci)e eniot Claoo PRESENT THE COUNTRY COUSIN By Booth Tarkington and Julian Street “The Country Cousin” presented in the high school auditorium by the Senior Class, was considered by the people as quite a success and everyone was delighted with the outcome. The first of the two plots is centered about Eleanor Howitt, a young girl who leaves her divorced mother to go to New York with her father whom she has not seen for seventeen years. Here she recklessly spends her money and, not until the appearances of Cousin Nancy Price and her home-town sweetheart, Sammy Wilson, does she realize her folly. She returns with them to fulfill Sammy’s dear- est wish of her becoming Mrs. Wilson. The other plot revolves about Nancy Price, the Country Cousin. When Howitt motors west for Eleanor, his friend George Reynolds, meets Nance and considers her quite “backwoodsey.” She is quite disgusted with him, considering him only a lazy society man. When Nancy goes to New York, she again encoun- ters him. At the second meeting, his admiration for her good qualities arouse his spirit and brings out his patriotism, and Nancy is properly impressed by his de- termination to “make good.” Every role was well prepared and thus made the whole a success. The following is the cast in order of appearance: Mrs. Howitt Katherine Davidson Eleanor Howitt Margaret Moses (A charming young woman) Sam Wilson James Marks (The raw material for a senator) Nancy Price Julia Dodson (The Country Cousin) George Tewksberry Reynolds III Carl Steidtman (A foolish young man) Stanley Howitt Russell Cummings (A very junior partner) Athalie Wainwright Helen Tolley Mrs. Jane Kinney Louise Fauber Cyril Kinney Harry Bosserman Mrs. Maud Howitt Margaret Lackey Archie Gore Willis Mankcy (Guests of the Villa) Pruitt Jack Zimmerman Blake Marshall Hostetter [ 28 ]
