Strange sounds came from Scituate High School Auditorium on the night when Don ' t Take My Penny was presented as the annual all-school production. Dotty McPherson was the person uttering these strange sounds as she practised voice training in one of the many comedy scenes of the play. Don ' t Take My Penny by Anne Coulter Mar- tins, a three-act comedy, was produced under the expert guidance of Miss Eleanor Gile. Howls of laughter arose from the audience when David Dwyer entered in black moustache, black wig and horn-rimmed glasses. Then Francis Whorf brought down the house when he nonchalantly came strolling on stage dressed as a beautiful model with long blonde curls. The rest of the ac- tors played their parts excellently. The cast was as follows: Sally, a maid with a purpose Florence Zalenski Norman Porter, a publicity man Glenn Wilder Penny, a pretty little miss Dorothy McPherson Caleb, her absorbed father Eugene O ' Neil Mark, her jarm-minded brother John Stewart Mavis, her attractive sister Nancy Gilley Lydia, her busy mother Barbara Best Joanna, her loyal girl friend Carol Stearns Kerry, her resourceful boy friend David Dwyer Greg, his pal with ideas Francis Whorf Gram, fust herself Nancy McDonald Monsieur Henri, a French designer William Bonomi Clair Muriel Nichols Elsie pretty young models Patricia Goddard Lucille Janice Taylor Red, a delivery boy Paul Green Harrison Day, a young author Phillip Delano Between acts of the play, the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Alpert, played several se- lections.
