Willie Baxter falls in love with a flippant little clinging vine and the complications which arise when he thinks he must have a dress suit and goes to any lengths to get one are very humorous. Jane, the small sister, is continually placing obstacles in the way of her brother's love affair. Homer Pratt and John Leslie were highly amusing in their characterizations of the young boy. Robert Thomas made a splendid father. Majorie Hentzen and Zelpha Land who played the part of the mother gave excellent portrayals of their character. Celina Young as the young daughter contributed a great deal to the enjoyment of the audience. I To the most critical obseiyers it was a well selected cast and a fine play, coached and presented by Miss Helen Hoobs.

James Taylor The annual Christmas Play, The Goose Hangs High, was presented in the auditorium, Friday and Saturday evenings, December 16 and 17. The play is centered around the home life of a modern American family. The twins, Lois and Bradley Ingals return from college to spend the Christmas holidays with their parents and find that their father has lost his position as city assessor. However, with the help of the old grandmother they solve the difficult problem confronting their parents and the curtain falls on a happy family. Robert Thomas, the father, was very paternal in his attitude toward his three modern children. His wife, played by Lucille Biersmith, was quite charming. Sara Jane Freeman and Louise McNulty, as alternates for Lois Ingals, were equally fine in their portrayal of the modern college daughter of the family. Von Allen Carlisle, impersonating Bradley Ingals, the twin brother of Lois, kept the audience in an uproar of genuine mirth. Another droll, amusing character was the grandmother, Mrs. Bradley, played by Marjorie Hentzen. T To lvliss Hobbs, who directed the play, should be given the credit for the success of the performances. i Six
