CONSUELO CORTEZ OH, PROFESSOR, a farce comedy- in three acts, was presented at the high school Auditorium Jan. 12, 1933, by the student body under the direction of Miss Smith. if if' 2' The plot centers around Michael Pemberton, a wealthy young man who has tagged Patricia Patterson from one European capital to another until he loses track of her and has nothing to do but to return forlornly to America. He, in turn, is tagged home by Fifi, a determined little French beauty who has construed a casual remark made in Micl1ae1's impossible French, into a proposition of marriage. Fleeing her, he runs into Professor Percival Courtwright who is on his way to substitute at a girls' school. They decide to swap their problems, and Michael armed with Percival's credentials, presents himself at the school. ' 'F it No sooner has Michael started playing professor than up bobs Jimmy Anderson who in order to get out of a jam tries to pass himself off as a girl. Then in breezes Patricia Patterson, followed by the temperamental Fifi. The prim Miss Frederica does her best to make everyone behave properly. After many complications Michael wins the beautiful Patricia and Fifi takes Percival on a Parisian honeymoon. 'F 2' i' Each one in the cast played his part well, each being particularly suited to the role he or she played. Lee Auringer's impersonation of a misunderstood girl was well portrayed. Ruth Fraser as Miss Frederica did exceedingly well also. Eusevio Acedo as Jake, the janitor, kept the crowd in a continuous uproar. xL3mgnr:u : .J1x1xax.ln1xr .pnnuf .lunar 11:51. .lxnnpnpnlnlx 151511 .anpxngnpulnanlxlmpnll THIRTY-'IWO

It was a three-act mystery play with all the parts well portrayed. The play featured a young girl, Anne Watkins, who has inherited a hotel. Upon arriving she finds it inhabited by a ghost and all the boarders leaving. After much persuasion from Alec Smart and Ted Lewis, vaudeville stars, some of the boarders remain, including an old maid, Miss Abigail Jones, and Abe Higgenbottom, a cripple. Soon after Anne arrives, a moving picture company applied for rooms. Billy Lamont, one of the producers, after learning of the ghost, sets up her movie machine behind a curtain on the steps and awaits The Ghost Parade. At the expected hour there is a great commotion throughout the house and Absalom Hawkes is knocked un- conscious. Through efforts of Billy and her camera the real ghost is discovered to be Abe Higgenbottom, a notorious criminal, seeking the famous jewels owned by Anne's grandfather. Mrs. Emery, director of the play, not only merits praise for its really excellent production, but for the selection of this particular play. - fvow web, J ,zgucfiflfsa 00 ,EQ fog T715 fl Rolfe, , fw ,rf if 'JA ,Lg 5, WM' LW'-Q, 5 X we Geoff SKYXN ' X Jxnxr ,J::so1.Jnpx:!.Jnnxsx.A Ll!-.llJxAn.J5IxlK.1x:u THI..TV THREE
