SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior class play, “All of a Sudden Peggy,” one of the cleverest comedies of the modern play world, will be given Wed- nesday evening, May 27th, at Daly’s theater. The cast chosen is an excellent one, each and every member answering perfectly all requirements of the part assigned. Moreover, there has been a faithfulness and interest in rehearsals which always assures the success of any production. A brief synopsis of the story is as follows: The wealth and property of the (Tackenthorpes, an old and aris- tocratic family of England, had been left to the elder son, Lord Anthony, who, among his other oddities, has taken as his hobby the study of spiders. Lady Crackenthorpe and other members of the family regard him as rather a good th'ng and object strenuously to his marriage with Peggy, the pretty, impulsive daughter of the late Professor O’Mara, R. I. S., an eminent authority on trap door spiders. Peggy’s mother, Mrs. O'Mara, conceives the idea of marrying her daughter to Lord Anthony and uses all her knowledge on spiders to this end, thinking that such a marriage would be an excellent thing for both mother and daughter. The Crackenthorpes, however, are determined that no such plans will mature, so they persuade Jimmy, the second son of the family, a handsome, im- petuous young man, to “dazzle” Peggy, thus distracting her atten- tion from Anthony. As soon as Peggy and Jimmy meet they decide to marry Mrs. O’Mara to Anthony, in which scheme they succeed with apparent satisfaction to everybody but Lady Crackenthorpe. Because of the suddenness of Peggy, many humorous and com- plicated situations ar se, but Jimmy is always there to untangle the most intricate knots. He even sticks a torn marriage license to- gether which Peggy all of a sudden tears to pieces and as suddenly changes her mind and decides that she and Jimmy may need it at some future time. The cast of characters is as follows: Anthony, Lord Crackenthorpe.....................Leonard Hatton The Hon. Jimmy Keppel. his brother......Harold Babcock Major Arch e Phipps (retired), brother of Lady Crack- enthorpe..........................................Walter Stamm Jack Menzies...............................Harold Timm Parker (footman at Hawkhurst)...................Delbert Trudell Lucas (man-servant at Jimmy’s flat)........Arthur Leder Lady Crackenthorpe (Lord Anthony’s mother)........ .......................................Carolyn Schnabel Hon.
