Pat Maidlow tPlayed later by Carolyn Freyl Edith Beaman ..... Hurricane Hill is an intensely gripping and dynamic drama concerning a situation that confronts young Doctor Scott Preston, who has come to the small, isolated mining community to establish a practice. Little is known about the doctor's past, yet, for all this Flossie Iackson, wife of Lem Iackson, the mine superintendent, shows a good deal of concern when Gail, their daughter, announces that she and Doctor Preston are going to be married. Shortly, there arrives from Masonville, Sher- iff Steve Hartlow. He has reason to believe that an escaped murderer is using Hurricane Hill as a hideout. His description of the fugitive fits Doctor Preston. The sheriff leaves. Gail returns to the house accompanied by Ella Williams, who has been ailing. Ella's condition has become worse and Doctor Preston is sent for. He diagnoses the case and pronounces it smallpox. Much alarm is felt. Unless serum can be se- 38 . . . . . .Doris Fought cured from the outside the community will be wiped out. Lem and Doctor Preston have a talk. Scott admits being the man Sheriff Hartlow is after. The serum arrives. The men are summoned from the mines and inoculations begin. Pres- ently all have been inoculated except Doctor Preston himself and Lem. The supply of serum is exhausted: all that remains is that which is in the needle--one shot. Only one shot, and two more inoculations to go.- Lem and Doctor Preston. The last re- maining shot goes to Lem, who is unaware that it is the last one. Doctor Preston is stricken with smallpox and at this point Steve Hartlow, the sheriff, brings more serum. He also brings with him proof of Doctor Preston's innocence. To end things happily Doctor Preston and Gail are married. The cast for this contest play was chosen as the best actors and actresses of the four one- act plays.
