Climbing For Success The spring drama production was enti- tled How to Succeed in Business With- out Really Tyying. It starred John Hooper as Finch, the scheming and ambitious business executive who climbs his way out of the mailroom of a hopelessly unor- ganized company to eventually become chairman of the board of the global com- pany. Although he has a book to help him in his quest for success, Finch must still avoid the boss’ bratty nephew (played by Ricky Davis), aless than All-American girl (played by Gwen Reid), and the plotting of a lovesick woman (Janet Guthrie) and her accomplice in crime (Betty Jean Snead). In what turned out to have been a de- lightful play, the audience witnessed a hu- morous account of the workings of any large corporation. It turns out that Finch’s successful climb is due not to hard work, nor to any ancient prescriptions for suc- cess. He gets ahead by following the sim- ple rules in a book called ‘‘How to Suc- ceed in Business Without Really Trying.”’ And as it turns out, these rules work. Bratty caffeine adict. Ricky Davis will soon discov- er that there is no coffee. A scheming Pierpont Finch, tries to butter up the President of Worldwide Wicket Corporation. She’d be happy to keep his dinner warm.
