T H E O R I O L E THE MILLIONAIRE Friday evening, December eleventh, the February class of IUSZ presented The Millionaire, a modern three-act comedy by Vlnliet NYilbor Tompkins. Comedy and romance interwoven into a good plot which was supported by an able cast supplied an excellent evening's entertainment. lYilliam Martin, playing the leading role of Gideon lleath, a happy-go- lucky young fellow, is returning to llrewster, a little town in New England, where the Heaths have been the leading family for generations. lt is rum- ored that he is a millionaire, and so his relatives the has so many of themj become immediately very fond of him. Blanche Heath, cleverly portrayed by Margaret Donahue, a scheming widow and Gideon's former sweetheart, sets her cap for Gideon. Blanche's eight-year-old daughter. lilanchette fin real life, Margaret Allebrancll, is a nuisance and all around pest. but she would rather have Gideon for a step-father than Counsin Ronald, who pays quite a bit of attention to her mother. This same Ronald lleath, the self-important College president, well represented by Stanley l.etsky, tries to interest Gideon in the needs of Brewster College from which the latter was expelled when a freshman. Selfish, egotistical, old Aunt Adeline, characterized by Charlotte Schultz, manages to break several ribs on Gideon's property in order to get her share of his million. Russel Hope played the role of Johnny Heath, the artist who is to paint a portrait of Gideon for the college librarv. But Gideon is not a millionaire! Members of the family are indignant when they learn the truth: they have been foofedg now they become embit- tered toward Gideon. Henryette Rockeye as Dorcas, a young orphan girl who works for Aunt Adeline, proves to be a great consolation to Gideon and he begins to realize how kind and true she really is. The other famous blacl-:sheep of the family. Uncle Fred l.awlor talias, Charles Bleyersl proved to be Gideon's friend too. The frivolous believer in eternal youth. Lottie Pringle, excellently portrayed by lletty liodnar, is another true friend, and. counting Blanchette, Gideon has a regular squad with which to tight his relatives who are planning to run him out of town. But wait a minute! A telegram? XYhy. yes, and it tells Gideon that he is receiving a million dollars for the gold mine he discovered in Australia and that he is the possessor of half a ranch which he had helped to run. The family receive another shock, but Gideon turns a deaf ear to their apologies. lle and Dorcas see the pastor and they set sail for Australia where the sun- sets are beautiful. The play was a genuine success. The cast. excellently coached by Miss Malick, presented line acting. Credit is due, too, to those who supported the cast in every possible way, Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Porter, and Mr. Jack- son of the faculty, and Bruno Zakrzewski, Bertha Schmidt, Ilenry Gorges. and the entire stage crew deserve special thanks.
