OH PROMISE ME The Juniors presented their class play on Wednesday, Decem- ber 6, 1944. The name of it was Oh, Promise Me . The amount of money taken in was $92.20. Synopsis Barry Hollis, at twenty-one, has Just graduated from Prince- ton, thereby coming into the fortune left him in his late fa- ther's will. His youthful escapades have won him a reputation as a playbov, but he is resolved to settle down nor and become a worthy member of the community. On the train back fron Princeton he meets and falls immediately in love with Gladys Vance. He persuades his aunt, with whom he makes his home, to send Gladys a note inviting her for a visit. Another note goes to Patsie Lin- den, a hard-boiled little dancer and old flame of Barry's, asking her to send back his frat pin. Alas, the notes get mixed I Pat- sie arrives with her mother, an ex-burlesque queen, and threatens a breach of promise suit unless Barry marries her Immediately. Then Barry has a bright idea: He couldn't possibly marry Patsie if he had a wife and family already. So he gets Ann Furber, the butler's daughter, to pretend to be his wife--and to make it more convincing, he borrows a strange baby. Into this situation marches Gladys, the light of his life, and Barry's in an awful pickle I He's got to convince Patsie he is married and Gladys he isn't married at the same time. From this point, complication piles on complication with bewildering rapidity. The climax comes when Barry is arrested for kidnaping the baby. Then, to top this, he is informed that his estate has dwindled to almost nothing, and all his girl-friends desert him-----that is, all ex- cept one, Ann Furber. It turns out that the story of Barry los- ing his estate Is Just a hoax to get rid of Patsie and in turn gets rid of Gladys too.
