 Inc Hurry-Up Bride" a musica comedy, proved to be the best ever offered in the history Of the school From the opening scene, the large audience was kept in q constant state Of laughter by the jokes and the costumes worn by the cast as they went through their turns.

Martin Muldoon, played by Donald Me Cram. Roth comedians made a great team and their appearance be fore the footlights was a signal for an outburst of laughter.
 The play centered upon the ef- forts of the hero. played by Francis Dorsey to marry the mayors daugh- ter, tBarbara Troop despite the ambitions of her father to have her marry the duke (John Gowen).
 The climax of the play comes in the last of the five scenes when Muldoon, as mayor. performed the marriage ceremony between the hero and his own daughter thinking 1t to be rehearsal of the real we'd ding. The efforts of the nervous couple 10 follow instructions given by Hennessy and the repartee that passed between Muldoon and Hen- messy combined to make this scene the best of the play. The scene comes to a close when the an- nouncement Is made that the duke ls married to former sweetheart, Catherine Brown, who was to be bridesmaid at the wedding. The mayor sanctions his daughters mar riage and the play had 9 happy end ing.
