Q wenzbz' ?Qy MA MA 'S BABY BOY This screamingly funny play exceeded the speed limit in laughs. Imagine Donna Jackson as a very attractive widow, near- ing forty, with an eighteen year-old-son, Bob Vance, posing as a youth of fourteen, so that she might pass as a younger woman and marry widower Jerry Tillman, whom she believed to be rich. Neither of the two have a cent. The boy's grandmother, Carolyn Gordon, also added to the fun by appearing in a youthful costume. Every- one got himself in hot water in these sit- uations especially when the deception on both sides was discovered. Other characters were the colored maid played by Connie Duke, a real estate agent, Doug Jacksonp Mrs. Anglin, a society matron, Carol White and other young people, Glenda Allen, Tommy Barber, and Frances Parker. Munching on cookies, Miss Allen and Mrs. Shiplet prompted the actors. Refresh- ments were served during evening play practice and after the last performance.
