Bernard Shaws play, you Never
Can Tell" presented last night by
the students of the Oklahoma College
for Women at the college audito-
rum, demonstrated clearly that you
never could tell what started all the
family fuss unless someone let you
on the inside, and Bernard didn't dc
that, but he certainly put fuss in
II.
The pickering was one of long
standing and serious if you take into
coi oisideration the fact that Fergus
Champion. played by Mrs. Zella Stod-
dard Baird, had not seen his family
for period of some' hlissful eigh-
teen years. Not that Dorothy and
Philip Clandon played by Misses
Olive Robertson and Mary Thomp-
son respectively, minded the alb
sence OF their parent IN the least
They rather enjoyed the abandon Of

oous actions They might have gone
on indefinitely not knowing who
their father was, had it not been for
the activity of Finch McComas, play
ed by Miss Nessie McCrea, who was
the counsellor of the family Aided
and abetted by Valentine, a dentist,
played by Miss Bess Flowers and
William, most efficient butler,
which character bit was admirably

identity OF Fergus was established as
that of the long lost father and hus'
band.
The happy reunion of the none too
happy family was another matter
and the arranging of affairs was plain

to call on a very wise and young par
ty who answered to the name of Bo
hun and who by the way happened
TO be the son of William, the butler
to manipulate the necessary strings
and tell the whole family collective
" and individually where to get on
or off. as the case may be. Through
the efforts of Bohun things seemed
TO have been pretty well Strengthened
out. Bohun was played by Miss
Christine Plummer
Then there was the love affair OF
Valentine and Gloria Clandon which
needed attention very badly. With
out question they were not getting
on. About the time Gloria got in {
receptive frame of mind, the frivo
lous and likewise penniless Valen
tine went and spilled the beans.
