A pleasant house part and possibly a buyer for the old Stillwell estate, which a niece -had inherited, was all that Mrs. Harwood had expected when whe invited some acquaintances for a week-end at the mansion. An exciting week-end resulted. The idea that the .late owner's wealth was hidden in the house was a notion that some other guests entertained, others felt that something mysterious was about to happen. Thrills and actions mount as various members of the party attempt to solve the mystery. Step by step the motives of each guest is revealed, until at last the amazing secret is solved. Diamonds galore -are hidden in a box concealed in one of Dicken's books, and are discovered by the owner much to her satisfaction. For the audience it was an evening of chills and laughter. The play was directed by Mrs. Laura Cutler-

Richard Dague The play was a well-written farce designed to make an audience laugh. When a farce can triple the number of laughs found in the average comic play, than that farce is three times as good as usual. Such was the play, My Wife's Family , which the class of 1947 chose fortheir annual offering. Harley Warren, as Doc Knott, was good for a flock of laughs: and running him neck and neck for laughing honors was Charles Earleywine, in the role of jack Gay, the suffering husband, who has to endure a visit from his nagging Mother-in-law, Arabella. The parts were all good and well given by the various players. Mrs. Laura Cutler directed the play. The house was filled both evenings. February 18 and 19, by an en- thusiastic audience, generous in showing their appreciation and enjoyment.
