if t i . -M .QV OPERETTA ASK THE PROFESSOR! The operetta, Ask the Professor! was presented in the High School Auditorium .lfebruary 26 and 27 with a large crowd attending. THE STORY The story takes place on the campus of a fashionable girls' school on commencement day. The usual crowd of relatives and friends is present to witness the crowning of the queen and to join in the festivities that follow, john Ainsworthy, who comes to see his sister June graduate, meets Maryida, the sis- ter of his roommate at college, and is much attracted to both her and her friend Emily Lee, who is a student and an assistant teacher in the school. Because lXlaryida's mother does laundry work for the girls in the school to help Red, her son, through college and to keep Maryida in night school, she does not want it known that Red belongs to Maryida and her, fearing it will hurt Red's standing in college. Red, who is helping all he can, thinks she is foolish and rebels, but to no purpose. john has a discussion on heredity with Professor Breakeasy of the Girls' School, and to prove that heredity is all bunk as he has always believed, decides to send Maryida to the Girls' School and give her the same chance that girls from wealthier families enjoy. Klaryida promises her brother Red that she will not accept the offer of charity from john. However, when she learns that Iohnis old aunt is the one who makes the offer and that the professor thinks she is an ignoramus, in a lit of pique she forgets her promise to her brother and gracefully accepts John's offer before the whole school, Act two takes place on the same campus on commencement day one year later. Maryida surprises everyone with her splendid work during the year. She has been crowned queen and everybody is waiting for the linishing event of the day, the com- mencement ball, when it is learned that john's aunt is not coming, and, according to an old rule of the school, Klaryida cannot attend the ball as she has no chaperon. The events follow one another rapidly. Maryida learns that instead of an aunt, June and john have paid her Way through school. Miss Stone. the president, angered by their subterfuge will not allow June to chaperon Maryida, and recalls john's and ,lune's invi- tation to the ball. Naryida indignantly leaves for home. ln the meantime Red and his mother arrive. Th-ey were summoned by Tommy, the comedian of the play. Tommy is sent post-haste alter lllaryida on his motorcycle and she is brought back. The professor is quite overcome by the beauty and poise of lXlaryida's mother and de- clares that the source of lXlarvida's eoorl breedinef and Iinf- mind is at last made plain, in spite of johns seeming proof to the contrary, he still believes in heredity. Red. who has found a fine job and won a wonderful prize for an invention. pays llaryida's debts in full. The president forgives john and june and so the wash lady's son and daughter make good and all ends happily. Emily Lee, friend of Maryida who is working her way through school .... .......
