.Q 'ggi-ZGAIQECZ gf-if ifv O To a capacity audience on the evenings of April 9 and IG, the class of '4l presented Sophie Kerr's Broadway hit, Big-Hearted Herbert. The well- known comedy was produced under the direction of Mr, Bob Stedman. The story centers around the plain and homey ideas fostered by a self-made business man, Her- bert Kalness, who insists that his family must be brought up according to these traditions. When his daughter becomes engaged to a Harvard man and his wife has not only ice cream, but Harvard men at dinner, Herbert nearly goes out of his mind from rage. Herbert's home becomes safe for Har- vard men only after his family has embarrassed him before his best customers by embracing his plain traditions literally. The sight of his wife in an old wrapper, and a supper consisting of lrish stew and apple pie, destroys his resistance, The role of Herbert Kalness, a ruddy, bald- headed business man of fifty who is inclined to be stout and grouchy, was ably portrayed by Eugene Hayes, Robert, the younger son, played by Frank Dixon, is the typical grade school boy. Bob Childers played the part of junior, a handsome, intelligent high school boy who has his heart set on being an engineer. Pat Farrell was Alice, the pretty and charming nineteen-yearfold daughter of the Kal- nesses, who became secretly engaged to Andrew Goodrich, played by lack Keaveny, Elizabeth, Her- bert's lovely and long-suffering wife, was played by Peggy Gardner. Other leads were Aunt Amy and Uncle jim Lawrence, socialites, portrayed by lean Schuler and Vern Kellenbeck. The Goodriches, wealthy parents of Andrew, whom Herbert orders out of his house, were played by lean Henselman and Hugh Scavell, Herbert's wealthy customers, the Havens, were Helen Allison and Harris lanes. The Irish maid was Kathryn Shelley, Pat Dippel was student director. Sets were ar- ranged and constructed by Director Bob Stedman. The play was a great success in every way and was highly commended by all who saw it.
