HE COULDN'T MARRY FIVE SENIOR CLASS PLAY A good laugh is good for the soul. And there were at least a hundred good laughs in the three-act comedy, ''He Couldn't Marry Five,’ which was given by the senior class in Saint Joseph's Auditorium on the evenings of May 7 and 8. Complications enough generally arise when a young man falls in love with five and can't for the life of him, make up his mind which one to marry! Well, that is what happened in the rollicking three-act comedy, ''He Couldn't Marry Five.'' Don- ald Regan is the only son of a wealthy businessman. Donald had just recuperated from a nervous breakdown, brought on by an over-indulgence in sports. His father wanted him to go to a small town and rest while trying to decide what he would like to do in lite. So an important member of Mr. Regan's firm, Ralph Barton, who was about to be promoted to a partnership takes Donald home with him, where Donald meets Mr. Barton's five eligible daughters and proceeds to fall for the first one and then another until he is courting all five! From then on, one hilarious situation comes tumbling after another until things seem utterly hopeless. But everything comes out all right in the last act, and Donald gets the right girl. Richard Riedhart gave an excellent performance as th boss's son, Donald Regan. Mr. Barton, the father was portrayed by James Hoeftel. Jim gave a good per- formance. Lorraine Bushong admirably portrayed the part of Connie, the mother. Mary Muzzillo gave a good pertormance as Mr. Barton's sister, the aunt. The part of Granny was taken well by Phyllis Mezydlo. Marion Seifert played exceedingly well the part of the oldest daughter, April. The ballet dancer or oldest daughter was portrayed nicely by Rita Ann Kobiela. The third oldest daughter, an artist, was done exceptionally well by Rose Miller. Barbara Ann Bonkoski took the part of the fourth oldest daughter, a nurse, very well. The youngest daughter, a tomboy, was played excellently by Nancy Pence. Rita Ann Kobiela Page 18
