SOLID GOLD CADILLAC . . Can a woman with only ten shares of stock take over General Products Corpo- ration, one of America’s largest compan- ies? You bet!” says Laura Partridge. For this year’s winter play, the Rogers’ thespians performed Howard Teichmann and George S. Kaufman’s The Solid Gold Cadillac . The main character. Laura Par- tridge, questions the four corporate di- rectors about a more than adequate raise they are going to receive. The new chair- man of the board, T. John Blessington, gives her a job at the firm to keep her quiet. However, her job really doesn’t ex- ist and the four members tell her she is only there to answer other stockholder’s letters. The only catch is that the com- panies stockholders never write General Products, so Mrs. Partridge takes it upon herself to write them. At first, the naive Mrs. Partridge is persuaded by the four directors to travel to Washington. There her duty is to get Mr. Ed McKeever, the ex-chairman of the board, to hand over government con- tracts. Mr. McKeever comes back to Gen- eral Products to offer his help, but the four board members don’t want his help. They are hoping to take over the com- pany. Because of Mr. McKeever’s ingen- ious thinking and the stockholders turn- ing over all of their shares to their pen pal” Mrs. Partridge, both Ed and Laura are able to take over the company. Mrs. Partridge fires the four dummies”, as she calls them, and she and Mr. McKe- ever are given the keys to a solid gold Cadillac. Director Gerald Peters and his cast put in five hard weeks to put on this humor- ous play. After five weeks of vigorous rehearsals and the usual conflicts,” ex- plained junior Kevin Beckner, the entire cast pulled together to produce a smash- ing show.” Mr. McKeever and Mrs. Partridge inform the four board members that they have enough shares to take over General Products.
