Those who had heard of the splen-
did entertainment features of the
35th annual Chizzle Wizzle minstrel
production from others who braved
the storm of Wednesday evening. and
bought cardboards for the second
nights production Thursday even
ing, were not disappointed in any de-
gree by the efforts of the student en-
tertainers. The big show went over
to a second deserved and unqualified
success last evening and the audi
ence was kept amused from the
unique opening to the final act of the
varied second part program.
Each and every member of the
high school troupe contributed his
and her full measure to the glory of
Cony, which through the more than
a generation of Chizzle Wizzle fair
has gone to build up that intangible,
but ever evident "Cony Spirit
which again and again, year after
year brings the old grads back to see
and read again the newest chapter
in the glorious legend.
The commercial features of the
second night again realized success
and the patronage at the various
class booths was even, greater than
on the first of the three nights pro-
gram. The show was in everyway
splendid and the audience was most
appreciative of the wonderful collec-
ton of musical offerings and variety
entertainment provided by the min
strels and the stars of the half dozen
vaudeville numbers of the second

An entertaining feature of the pro.
gram for this evening, the last night
Of the Both annual Chizzle Wizzle E'ai1
Of Cony High school. will be the pre.
sentation of the senior play Come Out
of the Kitchen" This play with a cas-
of IL seniors, picked after exhaustive
tests by Miss Orelle Gray, the coach
for the production. is rollicline
three-act comedy of such calibre that
1t was presented several years ago at
the Cohan Theatre in New York by
Henry Miller, with Ruth Chatterton
in the leading role.
Under the direction of Miss Gray the
Cony High seniors selected to interpret
the various difficult roles have prac-
ticed until they are in perfect shape
for the presentation tonight. Miss
Gray is teacher of the English de-
partment of Cony High school and is a
very capable and finished supervisor of
dramatfcs. She graduated from the
Emerson School of Oratory in Boston
and since her graduation has been
teaching in Houlton. Her previous ex-
pertence in other plays has been util-
lied to make this the outstanding pro-
duction Of her career.
An unusually able and talented cast
has been chosen for this play, each
person being selected because of being
the best possible type for the part, as
we'll as because of dramatic ability.
Miss Dorothy Hunt. who will portray
Olivia Daingerfleld, the leading female
role, is charming, vivacious young
lady of most pleasing personality, and

this important part.

of the graduating class and at the
present time Is serving as president
of the Student Council. He has shown
his ability in other lines as well as in
amateur theatricals and has won his
letters ia basketball. baseball and foot
ball. His part as Burton Crane calls
for some very high class acting and his
selection to that position was indeed a
happy one.
Hildreth Halves, who takes one of
the important parts In the produc-
ton. has been especially fortunate
in his previous experience, having
taken leads in two plays that have
been coached by the veteran actor,
H. Price Weber. Gilmore So,lle
has been particularly busy during
this years Cl1izzle While season. as
in addition to. his role in the play
he has had general oversight of
the entire fair by virtue of his posi-
ton as president of the Chizzle Wiz
zle Association. Not content with
these activities, he with Miss Edna
Gagnon. also a member of the Sc
nior play cast and two others, pre-
scented a very pleasing mixed quar-
tet number as part of the Ohio of the
Chizz1e Wizzle Ministries of Wednes-
day and Thursday nights.

and who have been carefully drilled
| in their parts are: Thelma Mcguire,
