1927 - THE SWISSVALIAN 4 1927 Senior Play QFrom the Diary of a Native with apologies to S. Pepys and all subsequent diaristsj ' January 21, 1927:- To the town High School, where I did see Wedding Bells presented by the young folks who are soon to juit the place. The matter of the farce pertained to one Reggie Carter who was visite by his divorced wife, on the day before his proposed marriage to Marcia Hunter. Then there was much ado. Spencer Wells-a butterfly friend-aims to help but he goes amiss at it. The fiancee has het mind upon one raving poet, Douglas Ordway, showing again how foolish men can be when the fair sex is con- cerned. The divorcee very ingeniously and sweetly revives Reggie's interest in her, leaving Marcia to a life of poetic rapture. She seemed to show great signs of relief, I thought. The servant parts were well done, one japanese furnishing much amuse- ment with his ill-tuned Christian Hymns. I find that they are using new scenes and new lights which is a blessing. The play wherein there was much mirth but no great matter else, done, I did meet several acquaintances, then fed upon a savory hot dog and home in my Ford. Cast Reginald Carter . . . ........ ....
