May, 1932 THE OPTIMIST Page 9 r -- V --- ...- e. W SENIOR DRAMATICS On VVednesday evening. May 18. the Seniors presented their play The Road Back at the Town- send Town Hall. The play was written by Joseph Carlton. 'AThe Road Back is an intensely human play that opens up a vista of joy Illlil contentment to a harassed and uncongenial family. Fowler fLester Nicholsj. a little discour- aged man of fifty, and Hhlai' Fowler fGraee Sher- woodj, a large fat woman, the complaining, whining. shallow, easy to cry type, have gone to send in a small eastern city. lt is interesting to watch Pa regain confidence in himself and to watch Ma re- sume her duties as mistress of the house. Jenny Qliernice Omoj, a home loving, industrious and sweet girl is the mainstay of the family. Her brother CGeorgej a shifty, neier-do-well boy of nineteen, embezzles H3500 from the bank. After getting George to promise that he will go straight Jenny takes the blame and is about to be sentenced when someone hy exerting his influence has the mate ter silenced and both Jen and George are freed. Milly Clithel Pluej is the youngest daughter and adds a lot of pep and zest to the play. She uses slang galore and because of her independent outt- look on life produces numerous laughs. Blake Chester flienjamin Harrisonj. the scion of a wealthy family. is very much in love with Milly and much to the disgust of his mother, a very aris- tocratic woman. announces his intentions of marry- ing her. Arthur McLeod Cltohert ltlartinj, a very deter- upau mined young man, has been in love with Jenny for a long time and has never proposed. but has assumed a sort of proprietary interest towards her. ln or- der to arouse his curiosity Jenny tells him that she is going to marry someone else. lt is at the very close of the play that Arthur discovers that Jenny was merely pretending. llrs. Blinders Q.-Xrlene Kocherj is a gossiping neighbor who visits Ma to learn the news of the Fowler family. Her butting-in furnishes many good laughs. Mr. Harrison QJohn Conryj is a typical business man of fifty. He is the employer of Jenny and George. George Qlvilliam OatesQ. the son, is a shitty ne'er-do-well boy of nineteen. He is the only mein-- ber of the family towards whom lla shows any fondness. Mrs. Chester CPhyrne lilyj is a very wealthy and aristocratic lady, who, at first, absolutely refuses to let her son Blake marry llilly. lint when Uncle Ben, Pa's brother from Arizona, makes the start- ling announcement that he is a millionaire and that Milly is worth 955004000 she consents to the l11Z11 riage. Ben Fowler CJohn Fberj suddenly comes out of the VVest to visit his brother. His appearance is very deceiving because he looks like a poor man but is in reality a millionaire. lt is he who starts Pa on the road to success and erases from the minds of the family the terrible disgrace that George once stole 35500 from a bank. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY One of the most successful stage productions ever presented by the students of Townsend High School was the Junior C'lass Play. ff.-X Little C lodhopper', by Yvalter Ben Hare, which attracted a record crowd to the Town Hall on Friday evening, ixlay 22nd, The play, which was staged in the home of lNIrs. Chiggerson-Boggs, of New York, dealt with prob- lems all youth must face and conquer or be con- quered. Josephine Raton as the Little Clodhopper fJndyj an orphan was often abused and knocked about, YVintield Swabley as the book agent and de- tective. Sherman Hyde as the delicate little son of Mrs.Chiggerson-Boggs, Glenora Gardner as the vamp, but witty young thing, John Neilsen as the farm hand and policeman, Evelyn Lehnert as the scheming mother of George, Ilo lily as the hostess and admiring wife of Ocey Gump. displayed marked ability in depicting their characters and won great applause for the realistic portrayal of their parts. The plot, age old, but never-the-less new in a certain sense, added tenseness and humor to many situations in the play and brought out the ditlicul- ties people face in every day life. The players were well suited to the parts they played. The cast follows: Ocey Gump ..., ..... . lohn Neilsen Julietta Bean ..,. ....................
