To what lengths will a domineering woman go to gain the fortune left to her relatives? The play showed us the seeming tactics used by Mrs. Emerson to achieve her ambitions, by fair means or foul. An exasperating colored maid did much toward providing the hilarity of the comedy, and there were, of course, the inevitable lovefinterest tangles. Jealousy was aroused among the three girls-Linda. Sylvia, and ,lane-when their suitors became dazzled by the fortune inherited by Lorna Keith. l.inda's queer cousin. All this was happily straightened out after many amusing events, and. to top the excitement of the closing scene, the hen-peeked husband came into his own. turning like the proverbial worm to command the obeisance of his wife. The executive staff was composed of Eleanor Stiles, business manager: Mary Porter, property manager, and Mrs. Jessie Rhonemus, the capable director of all junior class plays, -ANN BRAZELTON on humlred ten

Biddeford ROBERT HAY -----fAf Mr. Van Horzon HE Masqueraders presented as their annual play The Nut Farm , a highly entertaining three-act comedy farce by John C. Brownell. The plot concerned the crisis in the lives of Helen Bent, her husband. mother. and brother. all residing in Hollywood. when she believed herself to be a marvelous actress. destined to fame and fortune on the silver screen. Flattered and deceived by Hamilton T, Holland, supposedly a movie magnate but in reality a swindler. she nearly wrecked the happiness and fortunes of her hus- band, whose life savings would be necessary to launch her upon her glorious career. Her mother falls in with her ambitions. but Willie, the black sheep of the Barton family. is very much opposed to Mr. Hamilton. Disaster. however. is fortunately averted at the very end by VJillie's efforts. The romantic interest was furnished by the love affair of XVillie and Agatha. while Helen. VJillie. and Clarence J. Biddeford supplied most of the humor. Vslho can forget Helen's antics before the mirror. VVillie's jokes, or Biddeford's scenario reading? The play was ably directed by Miss Jeannette Stuart, who manages to make each of her plays better than the last. Mary Jane Gregg and Harriet Solomon were property and business managers. respectively. -ANN BRAzELTON one hundred nine

Rescued by Radio . by Lindsey Barber. It concerned the mysterious and exciting events at Madge Haynes' gay house party. Her guests, all of whom were craving adven' ture. were listening to the radio when they heard the report of the disappear- ance of John Burton, a wealthy railroad man. The boys and girls just then heard a strange moaning. and the boys left to investigate. Vy'hile they were gone and the girls were talking amicably among themselves. a strange girl appeared. The boys returned with an unknown young man, and. because of bulletins they have just heard over the radio. the guests suspect the strangers of being the kidnappers and the escaped lunatic. Turning to the radio for further information. they cut in upon a stray message, Crag's Head Eleven . which sent them on an investigation tour, resulting in a thrilling and sur- prising conclusion. The play was directed by Miss Jeannette Stuart. and the dances were supervised by Miss Lyda Buchanan. All the characters were seventh and eighth graders. and even the assistant st.e manager was a junior high pupil. Richard Courtney. -ANN BRAzI5I.ToN one htnlrtl Ii.
