Doris Hall The Seniors of R. H. S., with the generous help of the charming and talented junior girls, and also a capable Freshman, joe Seele, produced the play Aunt Ti- lly Goes to Town . This production was directed by Mrs. Doris Hall, and proved to be a magnificent success. The play was given on Thursday and Friday nights, April 4 and 5 at the Three Links Hall. It was a rollicking comedy that had the au- dience in agony from so much laughter. Aunt Tillie Trask, an eccentric maiden lady, was occupying her country home near a smart sumrner resort. She was greatly upset because her favorite niece, Pamela Marsh, had announced her intentions of marrying young Mervin Tucker and spending part of their honeymoon at Aunt Tillies'. Aunt Tillie was called to town on an important business matter. She went upstairs to pack a suitcase and while she was there, Mervin arrived. Mervin had wired Ronald Howland to meet him at Aunt Ti11ie's. Aunt Tillie and Mervin got their suit cases mixed up!!When Mr. Lorrimer, Ronald's employer arrived. Mervin was introduced to him as Aunt Tillie. From there on in, it was just a riotious mixup of Aunt Tillies. Mervinmt only got in trouble with his fiancee, but was mauled around by a chiropractor.Th- ere was never a dull moment during the entire three acts. And since every thing came out okay, the audience laughed to their hearts content.
