Seven Sisters” Colorful, romantic, humorous, and tender was the Freshman-Sophomore production of “Seven Sisters,” a three act comedy by Edith Ellis. The play was presented on April 22 and 23. The story is about a widow and her troubles in finding matrimonial “catches” for Katenka, Sari and Ella, the older of her seven daughters. She is bound by custom to marry off her daughters in the order of their ages. Mitzi, the fourth daughter, 19, is bewitching little minx. Expelled from school for running away to a masque ball, she is sent home in disgrace. In order to advance her sister’s matri- monial chances, she is reduced by her mother to the age of 15. Horkoy, the young lieutenant she met at the ball crosses her path. She reveals her plight and he wages that within a year he will see that her older sisters are married off, and Mitzi freed from the “nursery.” When that happens he shall be rewarded by three kisses. They make the bargain and the plot thickens. A husband for each of the girls is singled out, but in promoting her sister’s happiness Mitzi’s own romance is se- riously threatened. Matters adjust themselves, and at last Horkoy claims his reward. Why, Colonel Radviany, what were you doing in the pantry?
