t f Bert and Ernie” Make Guest Appearance I he famous ' Bert and Ernie hosted the bi- ggest, the most talent-infested show of the school year. They kept the audience laughing as they performed their usual antics and told jokes. 16 Dave Dolotowski and Rick Bella fit well into the roles of Groucho and Chico of the Marx Brothers. Lines of patience crease John Jackson ' s face as Mickey Peters squeezes into their home on stage in their Adam and Eve performance.

This year’s Review ' 75’ ” presents That’s Entertainment” was different than any other year’s review in that the performers were only members of the Thespian Society. Thespians could include a special talent or perform in specially written skits or in previously rehearsed Our Gang” sketches. The theme song used at the beginning and end of the review That’s Entertain- ment” was taken from a current movie of 1975 about old MGM musicals. The performers appeared in the over- ture and finale staged by Mr. Morrow, the Thespian Director. Sketches included the six Our Gang” sketches, a Marx Brothers sketch, a 1950 sketch written by Re- gina Hurst and a hilarious Edith Ann sketch performed by Sheree Sarko. Singers and pianists were also in- cluded in the two evening Revue. Pic- Edilh Ann, played by Sheree Sarko. sat propped at the auditorium stage ' s edge and gave what was commented afterwards as one of the funniest performances at the Revue. tures and projects from the art classes were on display in the lobby of the au- ditorium for viewing by the audience during intermission. That ' s Entertainment” was hosted by the Sesame Street puppets, Bert and Ernie— alias Chris Reinhart and Jack Oros. Their narration included sketches from Sesame Street and also some original ones written by Chris and Jack. Bert and Ernie invited guests such as the Cookie Monster to help them with their introductions. She looks like a boy drowning in a large coat, but really it ' s Gloria Vrazo, who portrayed the role of Harpo Marx. Gloria and the other mem- bers of the performance received a tremendous ovation at the end of the night.
