SENIOR CLASS PLAY

Of the Kitchen" presented by the Sen
Tor class of Snow Hill High School
on Thursday evening, May 8, will
long be remembered for it's fine stage
effects, and for the skillful portrayal
of the characters. AS the curtain
opened the audience saw beautiful
ly arranged stage which represented
the drawing room of an old colonial
mansion; the second act took place
in the kitchen of the home; while in
the third act there appeared an at
tractive dining room well lighted
with candles. The class is indebted
to several patrons of the school for
the properties that made these stage
effects possible, and to Mr.. Patz, Miss
Jones, and Miss Bennett, for helping
with the rapid changes that took
place.
Then there was an excellent cast
of players including Rosemary Cord
dry, Mary Alice Wimbrow, Lulu Ev-
ans, Ruth Sturgis, Wilma Jarman,
VIM. Hudson, Huey Brown, Granville
Hall, Bill Scott, Robert Barbely and
James Cooper. The comedy of the
play was furnished by the dignity of
Granville Hall, a lawyer, as he at
tempted to make love to the lively
Irish cook, Rosemary Corddry; and
by Huey Brown, lovelorn poet, as
he became involved with the colored
nanny who was portrayed so we'll
by Wilma Jarman. The tense, dra-
matte moments were given by the
realistic acting of William Hudson,
Jimmie Cooper, and Rosemary Cord
dry. Especial mention must be made
of the acting of Robert Barbely, Bill
Scott and Wilma Jarman who were
assigned parts at the last moment
as substitutes for Dick Leonard, How
ard Taylor and WINNIE Butler, who
were i'll.
The class is grateful to Mrs. Phil
lips, the director of the play, and to
all those who assisted in making this
play grand uccess it proved to be.
