Cast of "Three Live Ghosts"
At eight o'clock, on the evening of December 14, 1923, the Senior A's presented to one thousand
spectators a play, "The Three Live Ghosts." It was very favorably received, and credit was given to all participants and to Miss Mildred MANDEL, who successfully coached the play.
Edith EVERMAN played the part of the mercenary mother, Mrs. Gubbins, and deserves much
praise for her successful acting. Frederick HYSLOP was her ex-soldier son who used the English accent to perfection. Arthur MALMBERG portrayed the part of William Foster, alias William Jones, excellently. Bessie ELLIS as Rose Gordon, sweetheart of William Jones was in every way equal to the part. Spoofy, the unusual character of a shell-shocked soldier was carried out by George PESKE who kept the audience breathless with laughter.
Woodie MILLER as Briggs of Scotland Yard, assisted by Lawrence GOWER as Benson, and
Bernard SOMERFELD as Bolton, the detective; Harriet GILLINGHAM as Peggy Woofers, and Ester DAMEROW as Lady Liecester, spoke with ease and confidence.
The Senior A Class is to be congratulated upon the perfection of the play, and the work of Miss
Mildred MANDEL was very fruitful.
