DL S, emor Midsummer Madness,” a roaring farce in three acts, with a double cast brought laughs and thrills with a tinge of romance to a large audience in the Lincoln High Auditorium March 31, 1944. Incidentally it added another feather to the cap of glory of the class of ? 44. The play was written by Glenn Hughes and was directed by Mr. J. O. Morrison. The pearls around which the plot was built brought on continuous complications. William Alexander portrayed the role of Harvey Brooke, an investment broker, shrewdly mingling the comical and the pathetic. Time and Time again, the too polite maid brought gales of laughter from the audience and it is to be regretted that the part of the heckled maid as played by Alease Peterson was so short. The supporting cast included, Marshall Ezell, Vera President, Frances Lloyd, Roy Cowan, Marguerite Rayndles, Chester Boyd, Jr., Delores Lillard, Robert Evans, Eugene Chinn, David Johnson, Marievelyn Peters, Mae Ruth Richard- son, Granville Johnson, Margarett Brown, Rox- ana Smith, Richard Adkins, and James Miller. The production staff included, Fannie Mae Thompson, Gladys Griffin, Owens Hammons and Eugene Chinn.
