U f ' mx m- 1 FTLQMARYLANDER I-um-M-M ' All-of-a-Sudden Peggy that the 1919 Senior Class had been fortunate in securing a most excellent play to be offered in Beethoven Opera House Saturday night, May the IOIl'l. fhe poster carrled by the crier announced that the play would be All-of-a-Sudden Peggy, presented byan all-star cast, even to Parker, the butler, by Margaret Stewart, a star of mar- velous ability. OON after Easter the M. C. town crier, in cap and bells, announced A line was standing in front of the box office long before the hour for the tickets to go on sale. Many were glad to get even standing room. At the appointed hour the curtain rose before a crowded house impatiently awaiting the opening of the play. Peggy, Gladys Gordy, was an adorable, impressive girl, always acting natu- ral. No other actress on the present stage could have won the love of her audi- ence from the moment she appeared as did Gordy. The stunning, ideal lover was no other than our idol, M. M. Pugh. Anthony, writing a book on spiders, was wonderfully interpreted by B. Turner, noted for playing eccentric roles. Without hearing a word from Lady Crackenthorpe, one could see she was a haughty English aristocrat, impatient with Peggy and her mother, Mrs. O'Mara. Mac was a splen- did Irish woman as Mrs. O'Mara, who misconstrued Anthcny's attention, meant for herself, as intended for Peggy. Lady Crackenthorpe and her brother, Major Archie Phipps, whose actions were ever all for the good of the family, schemed for Jimmy, the son, to dazzle Peggy, thus keeping her from Anthony. In so doing, jimmy fell desperately in love with Peggy. She pretended to have run away and married him to get out of her mother's and Anthony's way. When jimmy proposed, Peggy thought it was not because of love, but because of her pretense. Fay, always to the rescue as jack Menzies, jimn1y's friend, helped him by getting jimmy the land agent's billet. In the end Peggy confessed she began to love him all of a sudden that afternoon. As the curtain went down, Jimmy folded Peggy in his arms. The all-star cast had put it over, and everyone declared the play a whizzing SUCCESS.
