The Scarlet Masque of Whea-

its first major production of the

farce, "Charley's Aunt" will be
staged by the high school thes-
plans, early in February.
The cast includes Harold Slate
In the tour de force role of Lord
Fancourt Babberly, who is per.
suaded to impersonate Charley's
aunt.
The persuading is done by two
lovesick friends, Jack and Char
ley, who are in dire need Of a
chaperone for a luncheon party
at which they hope to propose tc
their girls, Kitty and Amy.
Jack is played by Jim Bower
and Charley by Dick McCon

Kitty and Kathy Chernick is Amy
Complications, confusion anc
chaos are provided by Brasset the
butler, played by Jay Glerum; Mr.
Spettigue, played by Walter Nc
Clughan, and Sir Francis Ches
ney's role falls to Dick Riddell.
Some order is restored with the
appearance of the real aunt who
will be portrayed by Sheila Coz
and her niece Ella Delahay who
is played by Roberta Pikser.
The pervading atmosphere from
beginning to end is one of spon
taneous hilarity.
This will be the first produc
ton of the Scarlet Masque anc
naturally the players are quite
excited about it. Kathy Chernick
feels they have wonderful group
and as soon as a firm date has
been set for the performances, she
will let me know.
At the big installation dinner
Of the Wheaton Chamber of Com
merce that was held last week
ISL Sherman, developer of Whea
ton Plaza, announced that he was
going ahead with the Original
plans for the plaza.
The Giant supermarket anc
Hot Shoppes restaurant are the
first to break ground and builc
before the rest of the center gets
on its way.
1t was encouraging to learr
from ISL that regional centers
take time to build and from his
point of view he is ahead OF
schedule. If all goes well, he
should have some very good news
as to what big stores are plan
ming Wheaton as their headquar
tiers.
OF course, he again denied that
Mays was coming. He did not
rule out Gimble's, Bloomingdale's
etc. Two local department stores
are definitely interested, so he
said.
What's your pleasure, he al.
ways asks? Well, readers, start
contracting your favorite depart
ment store and let them know
how anxious you are to have
them come TO Wheaton so that
you can patronize them locally
