Brook Park High Life
Play is a Success.

A good crowd turned out to see the
Junior class play Friday night, Dec.
IA. winners All'' was very anus
ing and interesting play. Poor "hen-
pecked" Leon Jewell had quite time
keeping awake and away from his
wife, Alice Burman, who insisted on
working him to death. Edith Korsch
had a hard time learning correct
grammar and to typewrite. Her jaws
must have ached because she surely
got her penny's worth out of her gum.
Zana did a lot of scheming to make
James Swafford success in the world
and when he found out it was she
who was helping him he became
angry with her and said that he never
wanted to see her again. but OF course
he didn't mean it. Ethel Slade and
Luverne Hancock decided to begin
where they left off after college.
which evidently must have been a
fight because she up and slapS him.
Alfred Swafford and Valborg Palm,
terrible time trying to get some fancy
ideas out of her head. (They didn't
succeed either.) Raymond Kolesar
certainly acted his part as bashful
office boy, but it was plain to see he
was sweet" on Edith, even if she did
most of the talking and suggesting.
Janet karges, a rich German movie
actress was quite a flirt in a sophis-
ticated manner. Bobby Peterson, 4
wealthy producer, looked very high
toned with his derby and cane and
mOustache. Well, "All's we'll that ends
we'll and the play certainly ended
we'll. Attention must be called to the
members of the junior class who did
not have a part in the play, but did
great deal to make the play a sue
cess. Evelyn Brackenbury helped di-
rect it and Julia Kluck was adverris-
ing manager and usher. Others who
helped Julia were Verda Hancock and
Pauline Kruba. The play was under
the direction of Lucille Williams.
