'wm,,wm pam UML ng ffm EMM Fm It's hard to picture where anyone could have a better time than I did on the evening of April 1, 1949, when I saw the Rhodes School Playgoers present Francis Swann's hilarious comedy, Out of the Fry- ing Pan , at the julia Richmond High School Auditorium. Rather than single out any individuals of the cast for well-deserved applause, I deem it important to congratulate every member of the Cast, all of whom turned in a performance far above the level of ordinary high school productions. Seldom, if ever, have I enjoyed a production more, and, judging from the reaction of the capacity audience that filled the audi- torium, most of them seemed to agree with my opinion. Out of the Frying Pan', is a three-act comedy about show people. To be more precise, it is the story of George Bodell, fl-Iarvey Bergerf, Norman Reese, fjohn Davisl, Tony Dennison, CRonald Rogersl, Kate Ault, fElinor Jacobsl, and Marge Benson, fLynn Landaul, all of whom are rooming with Dottie Coburn, fFern Fieldj, the daughter of a well-to-do Boston politician, in a studio apartment off Fifth Avenue in New York City. This group of hopeful young actors in quest of bookings along The Great White Wayn has trouble in landing jobs and meanwhile are board- ing with Dottie, who pays the rent and everything else. Beneath the Coburn apartment resides Mr. Kenny, fArmie Ander- sonl, famous Broadway producer and gourmet. Before long our stage- struck friends are successful in persuading Mr. Kenny to view one of their rehearsals, but interference in the person of Muriel Foster, fMarilyn Coo- perl, Dottie's friend, walks in. While Muriel is surprised to find Dottie living with three men and two other women, everything seems ready to turn out happily until Mr. Coburn, fEli Blum, shows up. From here on in all is confusion, but the sort that makes one roll in the aisles. Amidst all we discover that Tony Dennison and Marge Benson have been secretly married and before the final curtain drops we find out that Dottie Coburn loves Norman Reese. Have I mentioned Mrs. Garnet, fMargaret I-Ienryj, the landlady, who causes a lot of anxiety during her attempts to collect the rent? Eventu- ally she gets her money, but a lot of hilarious scenes occur before Mr. Kenny and a couple of cops, played by Bill Selden and Alan Saks, are convinced that our actors are on the level and that they deserve a place in show business. To say more would be to retail laughs at second hand. The folks that missed this play, just missed a great event in Rhodes School dramatic history. LEO A. WEILMANN 43
