Assault and Flattery During 1994, Assault and Flattery, the annual Law School variety show, continued its forty-year theatrical tradition by once again showcasing the talent and creativity of its members. For this year's extravaganza, the entirely student-manufactured production, presented a satirical adaptation of the popular Texas tale, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” Third-year, John Gillard, the show's writer and technical director created his own version of the well-known musical, The Best Little Law Firm in Texas, which harkened back to a period in Texas history when aspiring female lawyers were constantly having to overcome barriers established by the good ole’ boy legal profession. Miss Mona, played by third-year JoAnn Dalrymple, found herself in a case against the slimeball, big-city lawyer Melvin P. Thorpe, Esquire, played by senior Lee Liedecke. With the help of her girls and the admiring Judge Ed Earl Dodd, played by second-year Terry Hampton, Mona eventually defeated old Mr. Thorpe and sent the male-dominated legal establishment into a frenzy. This year's choreography, by midlaw Laura Merritt, third-year Dan-ica Millos, and midlaw Becky Henderson, added tremendously to the quality of the show. The main theme story was also punctuated with humorous student written skits ranging from a musical tribute to Keeton's Casino,” to the satirical Mullenix Group.” As always, the Medley, directed by third-year Susan Saleh, was a highlight of the show, with their close harmony renditions of law school tunes. Assault and Flattery 1994. directed by senior Shelli Soto, provided an exciting change of pace and an outlet for creativity for all who participated. A F’s cast of students and faculty demonstrated a diversity of talent not always evident in the Law School classroom. Assault and Flattery — 27
