Wie SAISSAJWQN 5 1936 SENIOR PLAY FFOU1 Lift to Right-J. Carey, Miss Mowry, R. Leavitt, A. Brophy, T. Daley, E. La- crosse, R. Gay, E. Tupper, E. MacMahan, M. Mullen, J. Powers. ADAM AN D EVA Despite old man weather's refusal to smile on February 14, 1936, the Senior Play, Adam and Eva was given as sched- uled and also presented the following lVIon- day. The play, under capable direction of Miss Mowry, was heralded as a huge success by amicable audiences. Supported by a well-chosen cast, Tom Daley as Adam and Evalyn Lacrosse as Eva proved their acting natures and abilities. Crabby Uncle Horace and inimit- able Aunt Afblby, acted by Joseph Powers and Adelaide Brophy, aided in giving the humorous touches to the play. 'ine love-sick team consisting of Julie and Clinton DeWitt was ably portrayed by Edith Tuplper and Robert Gay. As the head of the house, James King showed his family the way to give Adam a liberal edu- cation. The role of King was very credit- ably enacted by Eugene MalcMahan. Dr. Delamater, the family doctor, James Carey, was successvful in persuading Mr. King of his need of a vacation. but unsuccessful in winning Eva's hand. Also after this much- prized hand was the fortune-hunting Lord Andrew enacted by Richard Leavitt. Matters were brought to a climax by Corinthia, Marion Mullen, when she proves that Ada and Eva are really the right couple for each other. Lord Andrew gal- lantly admits this and leaves the audience with a gallant imtpression of him. Much praise is due to the cast and much credit is due to its coach and helpers. The play was rated as the top by several local newspapers and many people com- mented on its unusual per-formance. The play was written by Guy Bolton and George Middleton. PAGE TVVENTY-ONE
