Mac People Are Featured in ' Front Page ' What do you get when you combine an aspiring young newspaper reporter, his darling young sweetheart, his ever- demanding editor, a bumbling sheriff, and a recently escaped convicted criminal? You get another smash comedy from the recent association of the MacMurray College Theatre Department and the Jacksonville Community Theatre Guild. The Front Page, a play concerning the denizens of the Cook County Criminal Courts Building during the Roaring ' 20 ' s, was the fall production of the joint effort between the two theatrical organizations, featuring both MacMurray students and faculty, and community residents. Production dates were November 9-11 and 14-17, 1984. The Front Page was designed and directed by Eugene Laurent, professor English theatre arts at MacMurray. The play, written in 1928, describes the adventures of one dashing young journalist who finds himself torn between his beautiful young sweetheart and the possibility for the biggest scoop of the century. Unfortunately a meddling sherriff, driven by the fear of the ensuing election, and an overbearing editor force the reporter to conceal the fact that he himself is hiding the convict. Add to that a frantic lady of the evening and a suspicious city mayor and the result is a rollicking romp through the justice system of a major metropolis. Front Page 25
