Kaufman. Delta's Senior Class presented this comedy on April 11, 1947, under the direction of Mrs. Johnson. The story, a satire on Alexander Woolcott. concerns SHERIDAN WI-IITESIDE'S efforts to keep on in his merry, selfish way of life while confined to a wheelchair in the home of MR. AND MRS. ERNEST W.
