To guide them through their initial act they chose Pete 0,Connell as president, Alma Lee Wachter as vice-president, Joe Moore as secretary-treasurer, and Ines Pellarin and Alvin Purl as council representatives. During the course of the run of the show this group of troupers entertained the older stars at a Valentine Dance. Several outings filled pleasurable intermissions in Act I. Some of these young actors began to show signs of becoming stars rather than of being only temporarily featured artists. The more promising ones were Mitchell, Hogan, Parlett, I. Easton, D. Easton, Metzner, Wiley, Pellarin, Barnett, Shamel, Mclntire, Moehrle, Mosier, Eudaley, and Wilkenloh. When the show opened the next year, many of this same group were placed in the same theatre. The following persons were given the leads: Alvin Purl, presi- dentg Mary Moehrle, vice-president, Georgia Dalton, secretary-treasurer, Ines Pell- arin and Louis Doerr, council representatives, were given the task of being managers for this second run. The girls of this group organized a club called the S. S. S. They gave several parties and had as their guests at one of these affairs the oldest players--the seniors. Parlett, Verseman, Hogan, Doerr, Mitchell, Shamel, Pellarin, Hughes, Wiley, and Tomlinson continued their careers as outstanding troupers. The following season many of this group returned to the home stage. Their managers for this opening were Robert Parlett, president, Ines Pellarin, vice-presi- dentg Elmer Verseman, secretary-treasurer, Georgia Dalton and Louis Doerr, coun- cil representatives. The outstanding entertainment of this run was the Prom given for the older troupers. This took place on the evening of March 16, 1934- at the Ferguson Country Club. - lllllll1935llOlllll Page Ten
