Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh Mrs, Bumpstead-Leigh, an English comedy by Harry Smith, was given by the West High Dramatic Club, December 19-20, 192-1. The play was directed by Mr. Dwight Packard. The play was a delightful comedy and dealt with the worries and troubles of a wealthy society climber. The change of character which Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh showed, from the high-bred society woman to the plain low-born ordinary woman gave many bits of comedy. The attempt to show up Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh by Peter Swallow, a lover of hers in the old days also created many laughs. The good action of Violet and Ceoffry together with Anthony and every other member of the cast made this play a success.

Insert: Mr. Packard, director. Senior Dramatic Club Prior to IQZZ, students interested in dramatics had no definite organization at West High. During that year a club was formed under the leadership of lyliss Naber, art teacher, Miss Moery, community civics instructor, and Mrs.gEmde. Accomplishments for that year were plays for the sophomore and junior socials and an evening performance of three one-act plays. The Turtle Dove, The Crim- son Cocoanutf' and Who Kissed Barbara? The next year 'A In Walked ,I immyu and The Minister Pro-Tem were produced under the direction of Miss Waffe. The latter was given in chapel, and the former, a three-act play, two evenings in the spring. ln 192-l, Ivlr. Dwight Packard became director. He produced in lwlay, 'iThe Passing of the Third Floor Back, by jerome K. Jerome, and in December of the same year Harry Smith's Mrs Bumpstead-Leigh. Both plays were great suc- cesses, and with the proceeds a cyclorama of delft blue was purchased. It is a matter worthy of comment that a number of the members of the club have been chosen for parts in the plays given at the Little Theater by the Civic Drama Association.
