The Bat is mysterious melodrama The revealing of the mysterious murderer is the suspenseful climax of ' The Bat, presented by Roosevelt ' s Drama Department November 9 and 10. The Bat is centered around the mystic happenings in an old house recently rented by an elderly lady, Miss Cornelia Van Gorder. Along v ith her nervous maid, Lizzie, Miss Cornelia unscrambles the mystery with the help of a bogus Detective Anderson. Aiding the plot is the search for a large sum of money, embezzled from a bank, w hich is expected to be hidden in the house, ow ned by Flemings. Richard Fleming, nephew of the supposedly deceased bank president is killed while he tries to leave the house with the blueprints. The discovery of an unknown man who apparently suffers from amnesia, and the visual appearance of The Bat for the first time quickly resolve the conflict. And ' The Bat ' s true idenity is finally disclosed. Mr. Anderson, director of the play commented, ' The Bat ' is a nice type of play to do for a change in a high school situation. It combines the old-fashioned melodrama with the modern who-dun-it of television, and should not be allowed to become extinct. The Ouija i.;v(?als startling facts to Miss Cornelia and her maid. Lizzie. There were several hard working crews involved with the production of The Bat, including set, lighting make-up, publicity, and costumes. About forty or fifty Roosevelt students contributed their time.
