.l if there is a doctor in the house. There has been a slight accident backstage, NPorkyU Warzoeha, the stage-light opera- tor, has tripped over the wiring and wrenched an ankle. Dr. Thomas Egan promptly saunters down the aisle, Dr.Egan appears well-to-do judging from the size of the diamond stick pin in his cravat. The goatee really makes him look conti- nental. After a slight delay, the show goes one As the curtain slowly parts, the fanhus nMarblettesH go into their precision routine. Their gaily-colored costumes blend in well with the scenery and lights. Heading the line are Renie Oiara, and ably supporting her are Fran Pawlusiak Je Witham, and Katie Fitzsimmons. As the chorus fades out, the soot-light is coitered on the eminent dancer, Pauline Grzech. The music softensg the star-like spotlight is -focused upon'her-sraceful selfg and the lithe figure majes- tically pirouettes into the center of the floor. This passes quickly and intermission is here, Lights come on and as the people mill into the lobby, Kitty is jostled by a heavy-set man, Skinny Noonan. , Awed by this coincidence of finding another classmate, Kitty stops for a brief chat.

Marion holds the position of Superintendent of Nurses at Burbank Hospital, Marion started her career a few years ago at this particular place. Harry then appears and makes the announcement that the sedbnd act'is td get under way. ihe clear tone of his voice seems like those good old days at West Side when Herr was such a good crater.

Atspecial spotlight is cas' on the producer, Bobo Johnson. Bobo announces, nI'have been informed that several of my classmate from W.R.H.S., by strange coincidence, are present at this play tonight.
