- The Senior Class Play, "The Charm School," produced
the night of April 11, by the June
- graduating class, was a great success. There was a large
audience, the auditorium being filled to its capacity. The play
was considered one of the best ever put on. Everyone was well
pleased.
- The play is the story of how Austin Bevans, played by Goldwin
HALLETT, who is an automobile
- salesman, inherits a girls' boarding school from his aunt.
Swen SORENSON as Mr. Johns, is the holder of the mortgage on
the school. His niece Elsie Benedotti, played by Marjorie HOOPER,
is at the school and president of the senior class. Mr. Johns
is also the divorced husband of Miss Hayes, who is Virginia ELLER,
the principal of the school. Austin's friends, George Boyd, played
by Tom DORAN, who is in love with Elsie; David MacKenzie, who
is Don FLAHERTY, disagrees with Austin's ideas of modernism;
and the twins, Jim and Tim Simpkins, played by Joe STEED and
Morris DESHONG, whose father has stopped their allowance are
looking for a job. Austin gives them all positions as teachers
in the school. The pupils are Sally Boyd, George's sister - Edana
CONNORS, Muriel Doughty - Helen CUSHING, Ethel Spelvin - Ruth
FLETCHER, Lillian Stafford - Josephine BEAR, Madge Kent - Margaret
HEMMING, Alex Mercier - Elizabeth CAMPBELL, and Charlotte Gray
- Ethel RICE. Ruth JENSEN as Miss Curtis was the perfect, fussy
old maid secretary of the school, who immediately falls in love
with Austin.
- The acting was well done and the scenery was excellent. Over
seven hundred dollars was taken
- in from tickets, which will be used for the class gift.
