STUDENT BODY PLAY WM. DOWNS-Leading Roles-VIOLET AZBILL Bashful Mr. Bobbs, by Walter Ben Hard, was selected by Miss Smith for this year's student body play. It was a three-act hilarious comedy with all the characters Well por- trayed. Virtually all of the members of the cast were new to dramatics. The play revolves around the experiences of a very bashful man, Robert Bobbs. His mistakes and the situation he finds himself in make a laugh for the audience. The part was well done by William Downs. Violet Azbill as Jean Graham, a young Georgia heiress, Was supreme in the leading feminine role. Stanford Jackson as Marston Bobbs, the high-stepping cousin of Robert, did some very good acting in a very diificult role. Jane McColloch as Celesta Vanderpool, a movie actress, and Julianna McColloch as Julie, her French Maid, portrayed difficult parts very well. Mary Myers as Katherine Henderson, and Woodrow Farrar as Fred- erick Henderson did a very splendid piece of Work as the sister and brother- in-law of Jean. Eusevio Acedo as Obedia Stump, a country hick, was the laugh hit of the show, keeping the audience in a continual roar with his antics. Marie Shallies as Mrs. Wiggins, Edith Smith as Rosalie Otis, and Dorothy Griffin as Francis Whittaker, deserve much credit for their ex- cellent Work. Much credit for the play's success must be given Miss Marie Smith, who spent many hours' hard work perfecting the characters. THIRTY-EIGHT
