rea That's One On Bill The comedy play, That's One On Bill, was presented by the Seniors at the Piedmont Opera House on Monday, February 8, 1926. It has been the custom of the Seniors in Piedmont High School to pre- sent a play every year. The Seniors of 1926, in order to keep pace with the Seniors before them, presented this play. The success of the play was due to the training and hard work on the part of Mrs. C. T. Neff, Jr. Those taking part in the play also worked hard at the rehearsals. The cast: Uncle Jimmy, a young bachelor - - Evers Smith Bill Haily, his nephew - - - - James Lewis Battling Benny Bozo, a pugilist - - Melvin Sullivan Harry Dover, engaged to Lil - - - Sylvie Nazzario Ned Collins tPuf'l'yJ too rich to work - Elvin Adams Patricia Niles, Patricia Pansy La Gloria - Sue Fredlock Lil Haily, her friend ---- Katherine Crawford Mab Allen, unc1e's choice for Bill - Margaret Jenkins Mrs. Haily, mother to Lil and Bill - - - Enid Ours Rosie, the maid ------- Nellie Keplinger Story of the Play Bill Haily objects to the efforts of his wealthy and youthful Uncle Jim- my to mate him with Mab, a sweet but quiet girl whom Uncle Jimmy has selected for a niece-in-law. The uncle has promised to leave part of his fortune to Bill if he will marry as instructed, and part of it to a prize fighter, Battling Benny Bozo, if he remains unmarried. Bill's sister, Lil, seeks to have her brother marry Mab as the uncle desires, and plots to make him tired of his romantic desire for a motion picture bride. So Lil gets her school friend, Patricia, to visit their home in the guise of a motion picture star, and Patricia loses little time in en- snaring the hearts of all the boys in the neighborhood. Bill so complete- ly loses his head over her that he takes money from Uncle J immy's trunk to make an impression on the 'movie queen. The theft is discovered, and Mab, knowing who took the money, pleads guilty to save Bill. Patricia adroitly saves the situation, but by this time Bill is not so enamored with the dashing visitor, and remorsefully begins to appreciate Mab. It develops that while pretending to flirt with the others, Patricia has confessed her identity to Uncle Jimmy, and she brings a sud- den end to her flirtations by announcing the marriage of the two, while the other romances are settled in equally satisfactory fashion.
